9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 18: Hearts & Flowers
Mads and Laura have one last discussion about 9-1-1. Did the finale live up to expectations? In short, for the most part. There were parts we loved and parts that had us shaking our heads. All in all, not a bad final episode for us.

9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 17: I Got You Babe
As Mads and Laura start to wind this podcast down, we become more and more frustrated with the lack of care being given to the writing on this show. A child storyline that doesn't work and a migrant story that isn't centered where it needs to be really highlights where the writing is lacking.

Laura and Mads breakdown the addiction storyline with Buck and why 9-1-1 might be swinging big with their focus on things like immigration and drug addiction but their lack of follow through makes these stories a bit of a miss.

9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 13: Mother's Boy
Mads and Laura have always been dedicated Buddie shippers (with a bit of caution due to lack of trust in the writers), so what happens when an inherently BUDDIE episode happens? We lose our minds and also threaten Tim Minear. It truly is the only way.

9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 12: Dads and Cads/Nashville Highlights
Laura and Mads discuss the latest episode and comment on how 9-1-1: Nashville was a crossover that was well worth it for all the Buddie moments we got. As for 9-1-1 proper, the writing fell a bit short.

9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 10: Handle With Care
While the Chim and Harry moments of the episode that also bring in the full 118 are the highlight, there is still the glaring issue of the writing surrounding the Eddie and Abigail bits. Laura and Mads do their best to break these moments down and discuss why the writing doesn't quite hit the mark.

9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 8: War
Mads and Laura discuss the parts of the episode that worked and why the other parts didn't quite fit. Is the show backing themselves into a corner with Hen's diagnosis? Why does everything feel off about the 118? We breakdown all that and more.

9-1-1 Season 9 Episode 4: Reentry
Mads and Laura talk about why the conclusion of the space storyline not only stuck the landing, but managed to make Athena's grief journey highly relatable. Why were we crying? What are we looking forward to and do we believe Bobby is still alive? All that and more!

After a very uneven set of episodes, we've finally come to the end of Season 8. Will we survive the hiatus until Season 9? Do we think Buddie will ever happen? Mads and Laura also take time to break down some media literacy in hopes our listeners can have a better understanding of THAT PR cycle.

9-1-1 Season 8 Episode 17: Don't Drink the Water
Mads and Laura breakdown why on the surface some of the episodes moments look good, but upon further reflection aren't. As we round out this season we look back on all that the season contained and how put together feels disjointed and not as cohesive as previous seasons.
