Oh boy. At it's heart this is a series about slave labor in California... where all the leftists in Hollywood's new propaganda entertainment live. You know, the "bastion of progressiveness." The place that is the fastest to point out that slavery in the past was so bad people in the present are guilty of it and people in the future will be just as guilty as the people that actually owned slaves... ... it is about slavery in THAT state. A sort of Romanesque we are going to force criminals to risk their lives for the state sort of slavery. it's sort of gladiatorial combat against fire sort of slavery... that is honestly really happening in California... a desert community that unironically has constant wildfires because it doesn't back burn because of the environment... even though it releases less carbon than a wild fire. It's Slaves v Wildfire. But it's really entertaining, sort of like Backdraft the TV show where the firemen are slaves... in California... and is based on real slavery... in California. So it is really edge of your seat popcorn munching Chicago Fire wishes it was this exciting entertainment... Only about actual slavery that is actually happening... in CALIFORNIA.
