I’ve seen mixed reactions to it. I’ve seen some people really excited by the stupidity of the whole thing, and then I’ve seen other people who are kind of dubious or skeptical about it, and I say, “Hey, give it a watch. I promise you it’s a lot of fun.” .” [But] No, I don’t think so.
I’ve found over the years that I’m often wrong if I make too many predictions about how things will turn out, so I just shy away from doing that in general. But personally, I think it’s great. I’m a huge fan of it, and I always want the show to be larger than life, so the fact that we’re very much into that aspect, I think it’s when 9-1-1 thrives, and I think it’s where We as a species get to thrive. I was super excited for it, and I’m really happy with how it turned out.
