	Author	Review
Canada	Brittany Frederick CBR	"[12th Season Review]: 'Chicago Fire' addresses major cast changes and turmoil at Firehouse 51. But the premiere episode is best when it's quiet"	POS
United States	Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"[1st Season Review]: 'Chicago Fire' gets better week-to-week, finding its own vibe, one that mixes TV-14 gore, soap opera entanglements, and working-class-hero earnestness"	NEU
United States	Linda Stasi New York Post	"[1st Season Review]: Wolf is not about to break any new ground here. He's just creating the kind of TV that people watch. Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"[1st Season Review]: Everyone here, (...), is working from the same medium-grim setting, with medium-grim dialogue, which quickly drags the story and action into the still-smoldering ruins of other fire-and-rescue dramas"	NEU
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"[1st Season Review]: 'Chicago Fire' isn't half bad when the fires and other crises take over as the star of the show. It's after the smoke clears and the stories kick back in that you begin to realize the only way to salvage these sorry stereotypes in uniform is to burn them the only way we know how"	NEG
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"[1st Season Review]: Despite featuring slickly executed action sequences (though nothing viewers couldn't see on Universal's 'Backdraft' ride), 'Fire' is almost as drab as a pile of ash"	NEU
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[1st Season Review]: Rote but entertaining, 'Chicago Fire' can't be ruled out as perhaps one of NBC's best chances for a hit"	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"[1st Season Review]: The series is really good at doing exactly what you expect, which makes it surprisingly tedious for a show where lives are on the line almost nonstop"	NEG
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"[1st Season Review]: One of the new season's dullest shows"	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"[1st Season Review]: Wolf either doesn't know what to do with his characters while they're waiting around for a fire to break out, or thinks their personal stories should be the dominant element in his new series. They could be, if only those stories weren't ripped from the book of overused cliches"	NEG
