Reviews

Chris Barsanti
Slant Magazine
Though it's hardly can't-miss television, there's plenty to recommend, not least of which is Leary, whose bitter humor forms the dark heart of each episode.

Steve O'Hagan
Empire Magazine
Fast pace, vibrant hand-held cameras, lurid characters and full-throttle dialogue, with an action-oriented fire call every ten minutes to end those difficult scenes.

Rescue Me feels like a misguided gesture of goodwill -- one that serves Leary's vanity in addition to his heart.
