Product Description The third season of Denis Leary and Peter Tolan’s Emy® -nominated series examines the aftermath of devastating personal losses that the 62 Truck crew experienced at the end of the scorching second season. Tommy is trying to hold his life and team together while dealing with the devastating loss of his son. Franco studies for the lieutenant's exam while “Probie” contemplates the end of his probationary period and now both ponder leaving the house. Lou and Jerry each grapple with – or try to hide from – the financial crises they’re facing. And Sean has a good reason for trying to keep the identity of the new woman in his life a secret. They’re all falling apart in one way or another … can Tommy make the only family he has left come back together? .com 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

Denis Leary is a gift fit for Christmas morning!
This show--and Leary-- and the entire, gifted cast--will have you peeing yourself laughing one moment, but then crying weepy tears the next. It's all so HUMAN. People behaving so badly (or so politically INcorrect one moment) then selflessly brave, then blindingly stupidly in the next scene. Yet, everything melds together into one of the truest snapshots of the human condition I've watched on television.This review is intended for all seasons of Rescue Me, not just season three.Premise: an NYPD firehouse crew and their families shortly after 9/11--how they all cope with, and fail to cope with, the tragedy. But because they are human, comedy is never far from the anguish.DO watch from episode one, season one. This is one of the great show to watch in marathon chunks--or at least two or three episodes at a time. But you need only watch the first episode to get the itch.And here's a fun tip for viewing: because the dialog is so witty, funny, tear-inducing, and fast-paced that you won't want to miss a bit of it, try watching with the subtitles on for the hearing-impaired. You'll be surprised how quickly you don't even notice the subtitles, but how much better you catch what everyone is saying. And you won't want to miss any dialog!Rescue Me is one of my Top Ten TV series of all time. I've bought copies of season one for friends and gotten them hooked.Enjoy!

Rescue Me Season 3
My son put me onto Rescue Me. Over the years, I have come to rely on his opinion of various TV shows, tuning in at his suggestion and finding, always, that I fell in love with all of the shows he recommends. Examples: The X Files, Battlestar Gallactica, The Unit, and now, RESCUE ME. I was never a particularly big fan of Denis Leary, although I loved him in "The Ref." This year for my birthday, I received from my son Rescue Me Seasons 1 and 2. Within just a few episodes, I was hooked! The show is incredible -- the plots, the actors, the acting. Denis Leary shows us a hero who has all the flaws (and then some) of every man and woman. He is surrounded by ugly, messy, hilarious extended family members and co-workers, and just when you think the writers can't come up with anything more implausible and delightful to watch, the show takes another turn. Through it all, Denis remains likeable, understandable, heroic, neurotic, funny, and I find myself always pulling for him, often in incredibly tragic circumstances. This show is more like "real life" (only funnier) than just about anything I've seen on T.V. I couldn't wait to get Season 3 from Amazon as soon as I finished the first two seasons. I have now finished Seasons 3 and 4 and am waiting to catch Season 5 when the CD is released and will catch original episodes when the series starts again. As usual, my son's recommendation was spot on. Trust me, whatever your age or sex, you're going to fall in love with RESCUE ME!

Enjoyable Madness
I am actually new to the show Rescue Me even though I was aware of the show. After checking out clips of the show on YouTube and reading comments about each season, I decided to follow my crush Daniel Sunjata and order the series. I am so glad I did. The entire cast is amazing, the acting is first rate and the mix of drama and comedy just keeps me coming back for more. I am mid-way through Season 3 and have a goal to finish all 6 seasons before the final season airs in July. Highly recommended!

Rescue Me
I sent the entire series of "Rescue Me" to my dad for Father's Day and could not have gotten a better gift. He would have never watched a great series unless it was forced on him, now he is addicted. Every season of "Rescue Me" is one surprise after another, great acting, great story lines and as edgy as a show can get without being over the top.I also received a stellar package price buying all 3 seasons. Shipped right to him, hit on time...everyone is happy, as usual!

Another Awesome Season
The exciting and sometimes depressing life of Tommy Gavin, his family and his crew at the firehouse continues unabated in this third season. If you enjoyed the first two seasons of the series, you should equally enjoy this one as well. My wife and I went through this DVD set in a total of three nights and our only complaint was that there weren't more episodes to watch. Still, the episodes that there are to watch are more than worth it.

Rescue Me Season 3 Turns up the Heat
The third season of the critically acclaimed series starts right up after the second season's heart-breaking and shocking ending. Once again, Tommy is an emotional wreck, but he's not the only one. This season focuses on the troubles and tribulations of his entire dysfunctional family as well his fellow crew. One of the most interesting story line deals with Lou and his internal struggle after what happened to him in season 2. He is no longer the approachable nice guy that everyone can rely on. He's fighting with his problems and he's taking it out on everyone else. We also get to witness the money problem Chief Jerry faces with his physically deteriorating wife after the nursing home raises its rent. Overall, this season is yet another perfect blend of comedy, drama, black humor, and action-filled fires.

Very funny yet dramatic drama.
Brilliant series but seasons 4,5 and 6 not available in region 2. Very disappointing. Would buy a multi region player but last 3 seasons not easy to get without playing the earth.
