In Rescue Me's most controversial season, Tommy Gavin's demons really turn up the heat on the seriously damaged New York firefighter. Glavin (Emmy-nominee Denis Leary in searing performances throughout) is wracked with grief over the tragic death of his son and struggles to deal with his estrangement from his wife, Janet (a superb Andrea Roth). In the season's most hotly debated episode, Tommy forces himself on Janet in, initially, non-consensual sex. Later, she takes up with Tommy's brother, Johnny (Dean Winters). By this time, devoted viewers, in the words of one character, know Tommy's every "grunt, tic and tell." But even his ghosts can only laugh at how low he sinks this season ("Next stop, China," Tommy ruefully replies). To get back at Janet and Johnny, he begins to date Angie (guest star Marisa Tomei), Johnny's ex-wife. He continually succumbs to his "basest levels," as when he has sex with the high school science teacher who is having an affair with his godson, Damian. But Tommy is able to show courageous restraint as in the intense scene in which when he is left alone to confront the prime suspect responsible for another tragic death in the family.
Rescue Me's other flawed characters try to contain their own life crises. Chief Reilly (Jack McGee) is in desperate financial straits when the nursing home caring for his wife, who is suffering from Alzheimer's, raises its fees. Sheila (Callie Thorne) goes to her own shocking desperate measures to pursue Tommy. Tommy's father (venerable character actor Charles Durning) is becoming increasingly difficult to care for. Sean (Steven Pasquale) is secretly involved with Tommy's outrageously unstable sister, Maggie (Tatum O'Neal). Franco (Daniel Sujata) meets a "sugar momma" (Susan Sarandon) with devastating consequences. And "Probie" (Michael Lombardi) wrestles with his sexuality. Played mostly for comic relief is Teddy's (Lenny Clarke) stint in jail for the murder of the drunk driver who killed Tommy's son. This third season divided critics and viewers, but the uniformly excellent ensemble grounds even the most outrageous plot turns in reality. And it's a testament to the incisive writing and intimately observed performances that even when these characters behave most unsympathetically and invite the slings and arrows of "a little thing called karma," we are compelled to continue to take them into our homes and hearts. Or, as Tommy might say to that, "Blah, blah, blah." --Donald Liebenson

don't miss this one February 18, 2008
Excellent production and Blu-ray video quality. This year was one of the best years of Rescue Me. Watching it without commercial breaks made it seem like a riviting 4 hour movie with more impact and focus than watching week to week. I think this is the best way to see these and in the future I will skip watching the series with commercial breaks and wait for the Blu-ray. Don't miss this one.
GREAT TRANSFER! August 12, 2007

If you are thinking about buy this, you already know that the show is GREAT! The question you have is whether the blu ray version is worth the extra money. The answer is YES. I have always been very picky when it comes to transfer quality. Some have been poor, old version of the Fifth Element, and others have been superb, the Departed. Thankfully, the PQ(Pic Quality) for Rescue is excellent, one of the best.
Great show, even better picture quality
Very good July 20, 2007

More good drama from Dennis Leary and co. High quality picture and sound that you would expect from blu-ray. Its also REGION FREE and will work no problem on an EU PS3 or standalone bluray player.
Its Like Watching A Train Wreck July 20, 2007
I love this show, it is the best show on tv and I could probably argue it will be the best series in tv history. Season 3 is by far the most edgy and best season so far. Having it in blue-ray just makes it 100 times better. If you are a fan of Rescue Me then season 3 on blue ray is a must have without a doubt. Amazing Season!!!!!!!
Great Show, Great Audio/Video Quality June 28, 2007

I watched the entire season on a Mitsubishi Diamond Series 65" DLP Rear Projection Television through the HDMI input off a PS3. I have a Denon AVR, Monitor R90 Speakers, and a velodyne SPL-8. The HD picture quality was superior as was the audio. It is totally worth paying extra to watch the Blu-Ray over the traditional DVD. I recommend making sure your brightness and contrast levels are set properly as not to washout colors. Also, turn your sub up a bit, it'll payoff during the action sequences. So far this show has produced 3 stellar seasons. I highly recommend Rescue Me for people who like drama mixed with clever and vulgar comedy. MUST HAVE for Dennis Leary fans.
