Chicago Fire: 5 Most Popular 'Unpopular Opinions' about the Show Shared by Fans

5. Gabby and Casey Were So Extra

Let’s get this one out of the way quickly, shall we? Gabby and Casey were never meant for each other. They had zero history, their relationship was frustratingly toxic, and they added nothing to the show as a couple. Some fans say they were better than Brettsey, but Gabby and Casey’s disaster of a couple took up too much time.

4. Severide Isn’t the Prodigy He’s Called

There are many things wrong with Kelly Severide even beyond some fans’ struggles with his character or Taylor Kinney’s acting as of lately. First of all, Severide is a terrible leader despite being great at his job; he’s just not cut out for that. And second, if we’re being real here, Severide must have been Chicago Fired ages ago.

3. New Characters Are Frustratingly Useless

Ever since Otis left, Chicago Fire has been pumping in a constant stream of new characters that added pretty much nothing to the show. The main issue is that fans prefer fledged-out characters, and the newcomers are only there to fill the spot — and no one cares to get invested in them, neither fans nor, admittedly, the writers.

2. “Fake Firehouse” Vibes on the Show

There’s too much romance in Chicago Fire. Over the course of many seasons, everyone’s been sleeping with each other, which is a great way to add some drama — except it’s not believable. Even less so, considering the entire Firehouse 51 doesn’t have the same STDs by now. Stop with the snu snu and get to work!

1. Chicago Fire Turned into a Soap Opera

There’s almost no point in the show being set at a firehouse at this point: it could well be a bakery or a nuclear power plant, instead. The dangerous rescues and massive fires of the past now cease to exist, and Chicago Fire focuses on the interpersonal drama more and more. Why not just move it to the midday soap opera slot already?

These “unpopular opinions” turned out to be quite popular during a fan discussion, so do let us know whether you agree with them or not.
