Equal parts ER, Rescue Me, and Law & Order, Third Watch received critical raves when it premiered in 1999 on NBC. All 22 episodes from that first season are included in this 6-disc box set, and the episodes (many of which reflect political issues of the time) stand up well. The third watch refers to the 3 to 11 p.m. shift of firefighters, police officers and paramedics who risk their lives to keep New Yorkers safe. The show focuses on the lives of a handful of characters who are complicated, flawed, and charismatic. Kim Raver (24) shines as Kim, a paramedic who shares a strong bond with both her partner Bobby (Bobby Cannavale) as well as her ex-husband Jimmy (Eddie Cibrian), a firefighter with a predilection for gambling who clearly isn't over Kim. Created by John Wells (ER, The West Wing) and Edward Allen Bernero (Criminal Minds), Third Watch is well written and paces the storylines well. The episodes' endings reflect that not every case is easily solved and that there are unpleasant consequences involved in protecting the rights that many of us take for granted. None of the main characters are presented as over-the-top heroes, but rather as hardworking people doing the best they can. The show at times goes out of its way to depict how flawed some of them are, but the actors deftly draw the focus back to the bigger picture--how to protect people who seem intent on self-destruction. Through the first season, the characters will face addiction, heartbreak, and fear. The one thing that dates the show is the full frame presentation, which belies its era. The special features aren't particularly noteworthy--there's a blooper reel and a 'making of' featurette, but no deleted scenes or audio commentary on any of the episodes. --Jae-Ha Kim

Average Rating: 
Rating: - SUPERB YET IGNORED
This series is better than 99% of the TV and feature films produced today, yet it has been largely ignored by the literate reviewers and hosts who rave over profane tripe like Deadwood and History of Violence. Why? Third Watch is about flawed, yet decent people who try to overcome their weaknesses and fears to do the right thing. It's a positive view of life.
It reveres love, life and decency while portraying the world as it is, gritty realism and all. And it does it without four letter ... Read More
Rating: - "Wow the NYPD, the FDNY, and the EMS workers finally comes 2-gether"
This show is "AWESOME".
The writing of the script is brilliant along with
the acting, and the cast. Each episode will keep you
on the edge of your seat. You never know
what to expect next. *KEEP THE SEASON'S COMING!!!!!!
Iam "DEFINITLY" waiting for season 2.
Rating: - Absolutely Wonderful Writing, Dialogue and Cliffhangers!
"Third Watch" knew exactly how to keep you hooked week after week and when it was time for the tv season to end in May, they would always leave you with a great cliffhanger which only made you wait with much anticipation for the new season to begin. I will say I think it was canceled too soon, but one thing is for sure it never left you with a dull moment during it's 6-season run. The relationship between the characters of Bosco and Faith has to be one of television's best ever. Great job to all who were ... Read More
Rating: - Quick review
I got into watching Third Watch in 2001 and had missed most of the previous seasons. The First season is just as good as the later ones and just as much fun to watch. i can't wait for the second season to be released!
Rating: - One of the best shows EVER !
Third Watch was an excellent show. My wife and I watched the first season in about 3 days. There's not a dull episode in the entire run of the show. Police/Firefighters and Paramedics on their daily job saving lives and facing danger and possible death. This is entertainment. Future episodes get even better..hope they continue until their all released. My favorite is Molly Price as Faith Yokas. She's tuff but I just love her. Bosco and Doc are my next favorites. I love Bobby too (wish he was on the show longer). ... Read More
