Chicago Fire (TV Series) A Chicago Welcome (2020) User Reviews

One of the sweetest episodes of Chicago Fire

[ankitak-64340 · 10/10 · 7 February 2020]

This episode was so emotional and so sweet. The best episode yet. Showing the beautiful side of us humans. When everyone came for the funeral while the old man was all alone - I loved it! Very heartwarming.

Bravo, Chicago!

The final of this episode touched me to tears. Well done, Chicago!

One of My Favorite Episodes

Third time that I've seen this one, and it still brings tears to my eyes. David Selby was great.

What we can be

[pensman · 9/10 · 31 October 2020]

At times we need a reminder of what we can be when we open our hearts to one another. There was a time that the rest of the world criticized Americans for being too friendly and kind to strangers. That criticism showed off our strength not our weakness. This episode is a welcome reminder that we should pay attention to our old reputation which is what made the rest of the world envious of us. And there is a bit of Schadenfreude in this episode as an old adversary of the firehouse gets his reward. Try not to give that subplot too much attention and rather keep in mind Chicago is there for each other.

This episode was great

This was the best of Chicago Fire. The homeless camp that struggled to save a kid to the old couple. That was a heartfelt show.

David Selby

[leahmilesrn · 9/10 · 4 May 2022]

David Selby deserved an Emmy for his performance in this episode. If he didn't at least get nominated, it's a damned shame. (I've been a fan since he was Quentin in Dark Shadows.)

That end scene about wrecked me!

[dbeckton · 10/10 · 12 February 2022]

Yup I cried. I've been binging all the seasons and this is one of my favorites. Oh and Ritter and Cruz are two of my favorites (along with Stella).

Seeing David Selby was a blast from the past.

Wow, just wonderful

[jknousak · 10/10 · 5 August 2020]

Agree with the other commenters, this was a lovely episode. The fire-people-caring stories are great, the neighbors' rescue down that cliff and its resolution was also a good story. Then there was a good thing happening for the CFD re: uniforms -- with a Severide save -- always a good moment. When the writers and directors et al put together episodes like this, really makes for good viewing.

And man! David Selby looks good here! Such a throw back for me, One who watched Dark Shadows rather religiously in the day (holy cow, like 50 years ago!)

Guest Star

David Selby as "elderly man" Tim Larson. I thought I recognized him (Quentin Collins from Dark Shadows) but did not see him listed in the cast.
