I hate, from the bottom of my heart, garbage writers who force stupidity into their shows. In the beginning I liked this show, but the longer it went on, the more I despised it and became increasingly angry. There is so much about this show that makes no sense, and after having just finished season 2 (no other seasons as of writing this), I am FURIOUS with the overall stupidity. So much so I will not be watching season 3.
In typical drama fashion, Fire Country has an idiotic love triangle between the two main characters and a third semi-main character (I don't consider Rebecca a main character). This love triangle was so predictable, to the point where I KNEW Rebecca would die so that Bode and Gabs could be together.
but the stupidest part about that, they didn't even get together. Bode/Gabs has been such a slow burn that you wonder what the hold up is. Bode/Rebecca was a better combo tbh, at least Becca wasn't sloppy seconds from Jake. Which, that's another weird element. Bode and Jake are like brothers, but lets have Jake's gf dump him and have eyes for Bode.
Which again, brings up another point. Initially, there was no build up to Gabs/Bode having interest in each other. It was IMMEDIATELY "oh hey, we're main characters who gonna bang bang eventually!" Gabs immediately had interest in him despite not knowing anything about him.
and then you have Feddie's story. Innocent guy who is stuck in prison and literally no one with power is doing anything. As I said, the final episode enraged me. So Bode was set up, and chose to lie and say he relapsed, all for some idiotic fake bromance when he doesn't owe Freddy anything.
Then you have Bode's parents and Manny, all of whom are like "how could you relapse?" None of them is like "nah, there's no way." Granted, Bode's dad said maybe he was telling the truth, but c'mon now. Bode went through so much to do better, and all of a sudden everyone is against him?
I wanted to like this show, I really did, but the writers are failures. The best part about this show was the hot momma Stephanie Arcila and her sexy body, especially the view cleavage shots. That was the only saving grace. The rest of this was trash.
