It’s at a 4 because it can be quite schmaltzy and canned at times. And then there’s Angela. Ms Bassett brings a brevity, anger, fear, joy, depth, and reality to every scene. When the episodes leading us into this season turned into Poseidon, I thought “somebody’s jumping the shark”. She steps in and lends a truth of moment, a certain real life breathlessness, that I’ve enjoyed since first call. I tuned in from day one due to the presence of Peter Krause. A very cheesy guy in the early days, but a guilty pleasure of mine. I had no idea such Hollywood caliber would appear. To see the two of them together was magical, even before they hooked up. Anyone looking for an amazing binge would be wise to check out 911, from pilot to final season.
