9-1-1: Lone Star: Riddle of the Sphynx (2022)
The slow decline continues.
Much like its predecessor, 911, 991 Lone Star started out as a procedural show that started with the tragic demise of the original station. A new captain comes in a rebuilds a fire house with a new crew and the struggle to become a team. Even with all of that there was still enough of the procedural part of the show to be enjoyable to watch. I get through 2/3 of this episode and the only part that even related to an actual emergency call was the opening scene which was the first 5 minutes or so. When a show like this becomes more of a soap opera than a show about 1st responders it starts losing it's major premise. When there was finally another emergency it lasted all of 1 minute. All I can hope is that the writers can find their way back to the procedural part and spend a bit less time on all the emotional issues in every character's lives.

When things start to change.
When I first started watching 911 it was a show about a fire house and the crew that worked there and how they handled the emergencies and tragedies that come with being in a first responder. It was a great procedural show with some personal story lines to fill in between calls. It has become another soap opera with more personal emotional rollercoaster rides than actual emergencies. I don't mind some personal stories but when they start to take over the premise of the show my interest begins to wane.
