From the mind behind critically acclaimed projects like American Crime Story, American Horror Story, and Feud, Ryan Murphy has reached new heights with his latest series on Fox. Starring Connie Britton, Angela Bassett, and Peter Krause , 9-1-1 is about the brave men and women who respond to emergency situations in Los Angeles. These are far from your everyday emergencies, though, as 9-1-1 ups the stakes by presenting our heroes with collapsing dance floors, plane crashes, and babies getting stuck in pipes. It’s an undeniably terrible show, and that is why it is undeniably great. You don’t want to miss out on all the “WTF” moments that take place on 9-1-1 every week, so strap in and follow along as staff writer Miles Surrey leads us through television’s wildest ride.
