The 10 Best Shows To Watch if You Like 911: Lone Star, Ranked

10. Third Watch (1999-2005)
Stepping into the Big Apple's shoes isn't a piece of cake. Take a peek into the lives of New York City firefighters, paramedics, and police officers. Their world? A spinning whirlwind of emergencies, personal dramas, and the ceaseless hum of the city that never sleeps.

The city's underbelly is exposed, but hey, so are the heroes that keep it ticking. It's raw, it's real, and it's one hundred percent worth your time.

9. Rescue Me (2004-2011)
Ring the alarm, and not just for fires! Dive headfirst into the tormented psyche of Tommy Gavin (played by Denis Leary).

Gavin's a firefighter, sure, but boy oh boy, has he got baggage. Post 9/11 trauma? Check. Ghosts of his past? Check. A dysfunctional family? Double-check. Through the flames and beyond, there's drama smoldering, waiting to ignite.

8. Night Shift (2014-2017)
When the sun sets, it's game time! Introducing San Antonio Memorial's best night shift medical team. Think "ER," but with military precision. Why? Oh, because many of the doctors are ex-military.

High-pressure decisions, adrenaline-pumping traumas, and personal entanglements. "Is love really in the air?" you wonder, amidst life-saving surgeries and ER chaos.

7. Station 19 (2018-present)
Ever wonder what it's like having a mom who's a big-shot captain at the fire station? Andy Herrera doesn't need to, because she's living it! Based in Seattle, this crew faces flames outside and fiery emotions inside.

"Grey's Anatomy" fans, this one is right up your alley! This spin-off takes the baton and runs headlong into burning buildings, and sometimes, into messy love triangles. But let's face it, isn't that half the fun?

6. Code Black (2015-2018)
We're heading straight into the guts of LA's busiest emergency room. Code Black? That's code for "more patients than resources." Yikes!

It's not all stitches and surgery, though. The staff, led by the no-nonsense residency director Dr. Leanne Rorish, also fights internal battles, rekindles old flames, and occasionally, shares a laugh or two. Remember, in the ER, it's do or die—literally.

5. Trauma (2009-2010)
Helicopters, bay rescues, and... San Francisco. Paramedics navigate the tricky streets (and those treacherous hills) attending to heart-stopping emergencies.

Now, you might ask, "What makes this different?" The city itself, friend. Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, street chases; it's like the city's playing a main character. It was short-lived, sadly, but hey, isn't that what makes it a hidden gem?

4. Chicago Fire (2012-present)
The Windy City. And it's blowing in more than just a breeze. The brave souls of Firehouse 51 juggle infernos, tricky rescues, and, well, their own blazing personal lives.

Between Lt. Casey's leadership dilemmas and Severide's daredevil rescues, you've got a cocktail that's bound to set screens aflame.

3. Emergency! (1972-1979)
Taking it back old school. Before modern tech, before slick uniforms, there were paramedics Johnny Gage and Roy DeSoto of LA County's Squad 51.

What's their deal? Navigating the budding world of paramedicine. Over the scanner, calls buzz, the ambulance roars, and they're off! Saving lives, forging the path for paramedics everywhere. A relic? Maybe. Worth the watch? Absolutely.

2. Southland (2009-2013)
No bells, no whistles, just the grimy streets of LA and the cops that patrol them. It's raw, it's gritty, and boy, does it pack a punch. We're talking car chases, shootouts, and the inner workings of an officer's mind.

The narrative? As unpredictable as a wild LA night. From rookie blues to seasoned detectives, this cop drama's got layers. Is it as flashy as "911: Lone Star"? No. But it'll grab you by the collar and not let go.

1. Flashpoint (2008-2012)
Meet Toronto's finest: the Strategic Response Unit (SRU). Not your regular cops, these are the pros you call in for hostage situations, bomb threats, and the hairiest of predicaments.

Leading the pack is Sgt. Gregory Parker, but his team? Equally formidable. Sniper, negotiator, tech guru—they've got the works. Each episode, a tension wire. Each mission, an exploration into the human psyche. For that adrenaline-packed, heart-thumping drama reminiscent of "911: Lone Star"? This. Is. It.
