I love the cast especially the EMT/Paramedic. They are so caring, respectful and really take time out for the patients. i especially love how Holly, Dan, Titus, Keeley and Garvin treats the patients like human being not the product of their environment.. i just love the show and all the people that work to save lives.. firefighters, police, ems and etc. i am glad there is a realistic show that gives us an insight on the night shift

I found this show by accident and binged-watched the first three seasons. The feel of the show is amazing, the people combined with the culture of New Orleans is what made this show so enjoyable. They keep repeating the idea that everyone in the city is a big family and by god, it sure as hell felt like it. The paramedics' bedside manner and ability to disarm almost all volatile or high anxiety situations along with the cops' easy way with the criminals that they are in pursuit of....moved this black, cold heart of mine. There is much to learn from them in the way they engaged with each human that came in their path.I went into season 4 without knowing the change in location and was absolutely heartbroken when I found the show filming in my native Tampa Bay...blech! Not to mention, there is no 'family' feel and it is all too impersonal. The paramedic's somewhat heartless response (in the 2nd episode) to the suicidal patient was in stark contrast to the heartwarming talks the paramedics in New Orleans would have in the same situation. And a bit too much machismo from the police side of things.The city of New Orleans did a great disservice to their police, fire and paramedic crews by canceling their contracts with the show. I understand not wanting 48 hours around, but Nightwatch, and the crews that were followed, was a great testimony to the Beautiful Spirit of the City <3 If they were still in New Orleans, I would rate the show a 10 but the change of venue was a bad (understatement) choice, IMO.

When facing high stress situations it is easy to forget that these people are human beings. EMS didn't come fast enough. The police officer was rude. Somehow they become the bad guys. It takes a special kind of person to do what these people do. Every day they put themselves in harms way to help others. What I love about this show is that it reveals the obstacles that police, fire, and EMS face in an effort to do their job. It gives you an inside peek into how much these people love what they do and, more importantly, why. New Orleans practically crackles with energy and life. But there is a dark side to the beauty. Filming Night Watch there is a brilliant idea because you see it all: the darkness and the light, the good and the evil of man. I am completely addicted to this show.

LOVED it! Caught it on television the other night.....wanted to watch MORE! Didn't realize it's a brand new reality series! I LOVE to see "live" medical, ems, police, fire action!! Recommended!! Want MORE!! I enjoyed seeing the interactions of the individual partners while working! I liked that they added "the outcome of the story" in any case where it was possible! Eg...whether the patient lived or recovered, etc. I also like the following similar programs: "Trauma in the ER"6 "Untold stories of the ER" VGH....Vancouver General Hospital "live" trauma center. Would be great to have these programs continue on.....so often they just have a certain numbers of episodes and thats it! Keep 'em coming!!
