THIS IS NOT LA or California, but TEXAS! We are a huge state with huge stories and differences from the story lines you can run for the parent show. I happen to enjoy 911 and 911 Lone Star, but in watching the second season, imagine my surprise to see lava from an erupting volcano in Austin. Are you kidding me? Then, add insult to injury, did anyone notice how many palm trees that line the Austin streets. No thank you, we have lovely live oaks and pecan and many other type of real trees. Palm trees are possible, but not native to that area. So obviously, you were not filming it in the Austin area. THEN, you show wildfires in mountainous areas. That's really not the topography of Texas. Yes, there are some places you will see mountains, but not really those types in the third show and no crazy wild fires like you California folks see. How about you tell Texas sized stories and not recycle your California woes over the face of our state?

Again, Rhymes is too heavy handed this season, taking an opportunity to preach at the viewers, with every moment. It is not why I watch this show. Why create phenomenal characters, only to stand on her soapbox and preach to the choir. I lived through last year, I do not want to experience it on television. Talk about jumping the shark.

I have loved this show for years, but this last season has been one long dirge. Do we really need to see the pandemic played out a show at a time? And Meredith always in bed or in her dream sequences. Rhymes is heavy handed in all her theme writing about the new liberal “woke” culture. I am sad to kiss the characters goodbye, but having her preach about all of this is too much. Count me a former fan.

I have loved this show. But the constant recent stories about changing the hospital and actions of the lead character to be more sensitive to liberal attitudes, towards the history of the hospital, and of the city itself, wear me out. I watch television shows to escape the humdrum of my own life. I do not want to see, a character I have loved, be bounced back and forth into, am I a racist; did we steal the island where the hospital is built; can we stop global warming. I am exhausted with all of this. And to me, the show has jumped the shark.
