Chicago Fire - Season 3 [DVD] [2014]

Cannot wait to save up some money to purchase season 4. superb action, gripping storyline. Very well acted.

Arguably the best season yet (which is praise indeed) - not only twenty three episodes but five crossovers featuring CHICAGO PD plus LAW & ORDER.The series' greatest strength is portrayal of the firefighting fraternity, each of its stations virtually a second family for those who work there.Here Station 51 still mourns the shock death of a colleague, Kelly in particular finding it hard to adjust. Throughout there is the knowledge each new call to action could mean for the crew danger, serious injuries, perhaps another loss. The action scenes are terrific (not least when that damaged helicopter teeters on a roof edge). One or two episodes begin with great drama, only for further catastrophes to follow - suspense relentless, no guarantee all the team will survive.Despite so much tension, humour abounds (the crew has its clowns), there is also romance (some of it ill-advised). Here are characters to believe in and often greatly to like. Fans will feel they are among friends, sharing their highs and lows. Especially disturbing are threats posed by a serial arsonist brazenly goading firefighters and police.The crossovers work well. For example, on Disc 2 a discovery by the fire crew is followed up by police both in Chicago and New York. It is good to see casts from three series intermingling, this perhaps to become four with the introduction of CHICAGO MED.The box set thus contains far more than most, especially with all the Behind the Scenes bonuses (these often comprising the cast having fun).Hail here a series packed with adrenaline - excitement in plenty, lots of laughs, moments that prove very moving indeed. Creators and cast do firefighters proud, with this worthy reminder of how much we are in their debt.

I Love this series, have since the very first episode. The writers have created an awesome set of characters who quickly feel like family and you worry about them constantly as they put their lives at risk on a daily basis. I have laughed and cried so many times during each season that I should have bought shares in Kleenex ! There is only one drawback and that is the discs themselves. Even though the video and sound quality is excellent, the 'menu' is a joke. Upon loading you just get a series of icons going down the left hand side and there is nothing written to tell you what each icon means, so if you want 'episode selection' or anything similar you have to go searching for the first time and then remember it for next time. Nothing is clearly marked ! Never mind the fact that there is no literature or anything on the cover that indicates how many episodes are on each disc or the names of each episode - so good luck if you're trying to find a specific one. But once again - the series itself is excellent !

Another excellent instalment in the Chicago Fire franchise. A good overall watch, although as with other Chicago* series, there are a couple of grumbles (which seem common to Chicago PD/Fire/Med). Firstly, the overpowering incidental music frequently added to emphasise drama is way OTT, in my opinion. Secondly, the overlap between Chicago PD and Med means that you end-up missing some of the plot line. I do wish that Amazon would offer some way to link to the other series. As it is, you end-up having to guess what might have been going on. Finally, the guys that make the show (and the other Chicago series) really ought to take care of continuity a bit better. For example, in one scene, everyone is neck-deep in snow, and in the follow-on it's bone dry. Don't get me wrong here: I'm looking forward to season four when the price drops a bit on Amazon Video. Grumbles aside, series three seems as fresh as series one. Recommended.

Season 3 resumes after the cliffhanger at the end of season 2, and sadly we lose a regular character, but on the positive side we do get a fresh face who is another good addition to the show. I enjoyed this season just as much as the first two. The crossovers with P.D. are included, and there are some early appearances from the future cast of Chicago Med. Lots of great action, plenty of drama and humour to go with it. Looking forward to season 4.

Chicago Fire keeps impressing me with its great characters and story lines. Plenty of humour and action make every episode zoom by, making me wish each episode was longer. This series includes 23 Chicago Fire episodes and some crossover episodes from Chicago PD and Law and Order: Special Victims that continue the story from one series into another. Some of the action scenes are so spectacular you need to watch the DVD extras to see how they were done. Very good entertainment. Can't wait for the next series!

This was bought as a Christmas Present for a friend, it is a good series and enjoyable to watch.

Bought to continue along with the CF series. Continues on from the previous, with the bonus of including Chicago Police/Law and Order SVU crossover episodes as well!Only problem I can really say is the menu design and layout if completely different to that of S1 and S2 box sets- however you do get used to how to navigate it eventually.
