Advertise on podcast: Dispatching the 118

Mads and Laura have one last discussion about 9-1-1. Did the finale live up to expectations? In short, for the most part. There were parts we loved and parts that had us shaking our heads. All in all, not a bad final episode for us.

As Mads and Laura start to wind this podcast down, we become more and more frustrated with the lack of care being given to the writing on this show. A child storyline that doesn't work and a migrant story that isn't centered where it needs to be really highlights where the writing is lacking.

Laura and Mads breakdown the addiction storyline with Buck and why 9-1-1 might be swinging big with their focus on things like immigration and drug addiction but their lack of follow through makes these stories a bit of a miss.

Not a whole lot happens in this episode, so Mads and Laura breakdown the character development we got instead. Do you think May's future path will be nursing? Is Maddie the right person for Sue's job? Let us know!

Mads and Laura have always been dedicated Buddie shippers (with a bit of caution due to lack of trust in the writers), so what happens when an inherently BUDDIE episode happens? We lose our minds and also threaten Tim Minear. It truly is the only way.

Laura and Mads discuss the latest episode and comment on how 9-1-1: Nashville was a crossover that was well worth it for all the Buddie moments we got. As for 9-1-1 proper, the writing fell a bit short.

Laura and Mads discuss the possibilities of what could come for Buck and Eddie. Plus, get our real thoughts on Hen returning to work.

While the Chim and Harry moments of the episode that also bring in the full 118 are the highlight, there is still the glaring issue of the writing surrounding the Eddie and Abigail bits. Laura and Mads do their best to break these moments down and discuss why the writing doesn't quite hit the mark.

While this episode is a tad bit better than previous ones this season, there are still some glaring issues. Listen to hear Laura and Mads talk about Hen's diagnosis, Harry's graduation, and the rest of the 118.

Mads and Laura discuss the parts of the episode that worked and why the other parts didn't quite fit. Is the show backing themselves into a corner with Hen's diagnosis? Why does everything feel off about the 118? We breakdown all that and more.

After watching what was probably the messiest, disorganized episode to come from this show in a long time, Mads and Laura have some big feelings.

Happy 100 episodes! Laura and Mads discuss what it means to reach such a milestone. Then, they dive into the episode and why it doesn't quite work as well as some of the other episodes so far this season.

Laura and Mads breakdown the parts of this episode that worked really well. Sometimes grief takes us to places we never expected, as witnessed in Eddie's journey.

Mads and Laura talk about why the conclusion of the space storyline not only stuck the landing, but managed to make Athena's grief journey highly relatable. Why were we crying? What are we looking forward to and do we believe Bobby is still alive? All that and more!

Mads and Laura breakdown what really works for this episode. But, just because we are enjoying this pacing doesn't mean we aren't ready to move forward from space. Who's storyline was your favorite during this episode?
