Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 06/05/2007

Amazon.com:
In Rescue Me's most controversial season, Tommy Gavin's demons really turn up the heat on the seriously damaged New York firefighter. Glavin (Emmy-nominee Denis Leary in searing performances throughout) is wracked with grief over the tragic death of his son and struggles to deal with his estrangement from his wife, Janet (a superb Andrea Roth). In the season's most hotly debated episode, Tommy forces himself on Janet in, initially, non-consensual sex. Later, she takes up with Tommy's brother, Johnny (Dean Winters). By this time, devoted viewers, in the words of one character, know Tommy's every "grunt, tic and tell." But even his ghosts can only laugh at how low he sinks this season ("Next stop, China," Tommy ruefully replies). To get back at Janet and Johnny, he begins to date Angie (guest star Marisa Tomei), Johnny's ex-wife. He continually succumbs to his "basest levels," as when he has sex with the high school science teacher who is having an affair with his godson, Damian. But Tommy is able to show courageous restraint as in the intense scene in which when he is left alone to confront the prime suspect responsible for another tragic death in the family.

Rescue Me's other flawed characters try to contain their own life crises. Chief Reilly (Jack McGee) is in desperate financial straits when the nursing home caring for his wife, who is suffering from Alzheimer's, raises its fees. Sheila (Callie Thorne) goes to her own shocking desperate measures to pursue Tommy. Tommy's father (venerable character actor Charles Durning) is becoming increasingly difficult to care for. Sean (Steven Pasquale) is secretly involved with Tommy's outrageously unstable sister, Maggie (Tatum O'Neal). Franco (Daniel Sujata) meets a "sugar momma" (Susan Sarandon) with devastating consequences. And "Probie" (Michael Lombardi) wrestles with his sexuality. Played mostly for comic relief is Teddy's (Lenny Clarke) stint in jail for the murder of the drunk driver who killed Tommy's son. This third season divided critics and viewers, but the uniformly excellent ensemble grounds even the most outrageous plot turns in reality. And it's a testament to the incisive writing and intimately observed performances that even when these characters behave most unsympathetically and invite the slings and arrows of "a little thing called karma," we are compelled to continue to take them into our homes and hearts. Or, as Tommy might say to that, "Blah, blah, blah." --Donald Liebenson




Rating: - Love this show
I love this show. But season 3 and 4 have still not been released in Europe. And it doesn't look likely this will happen any time soon. So when I read somewhere online reviews that this R1 dvd does play in R2 players I was so happy. The good news is ... it does. The bad news (for my deaf husband) is that there are no subtitles even though it says so in the description of the dvd. I was very pleased with the way Amazon handled it. But sad that I can not watch the show with my husband. Hopefully it ... Read More

Rating: - Rescue Me Season 3
My son put me onto Rescue Me. Over the years, I have come to rely on his opinion of various TV shows, tuning in at his suggestion and finding, always, that I fell in love with all of the shows he recommends. Examples: The X Files, Battlestar Gallactica, The Unit, and now, RESCUE ME. I was never a particularly big fan of Denis Leary, although I loved him in "The Ref." This year for my birthday, I received from my son Rescue Me Seasons 1 and 2. Within just a few episodes, I was hooked! The show ... Read More

Rating: - Rescue Me's Controversial Season Three.
Rescue Me is one of two good reasons to own a television these days. (Mad Men is the other.) Set in post-9/11 New York City, Season One of Rescue Me (which premiered in 2004) introduced viewers to a crew of NYC firefighters working, smoking, drinking, and socializing together. The show centers on Denis Leary, who plays the role of a self-destructive firefighter named Tommy Gavin. He is a mercurial, chain-smoking anti-hero, who struggles with alcoholism and dysfunctional relationships. Although Tommy ... Read More
