Did we get a ew director that likes fantasy dream sequences?
koohii12 January 2021
This is a classic case of a 25-30 minute script being bloated out to fill time. Overly stylized dream sequences are blown out of all proportion to the needs of making this an hour-long show. And McCall is barely even in it.
Primary message is clearly "Be kind to the homeless", followed by a very heavy handed "Not all whites are racists, and not all racists are white," with a minor segway into "EMTs can get battle-fatigue (nowadays called PTSD) too."
Maybe if it was still called "SHELLSHOCK," people would take it more seriously.
Investigation is minimal. Mystery is about as deep as a mud puddle.
Closest thing to a saving grace is the guest cast--the street preacher is very believable, and William Atherton of Die Hard fame (remember the obnoxious reporter?) plays the veteran EMT.
