Ah, Chicago Fire. The show that makes you yell at the TV screen for characters to stop running into burning buildings (though, let's be honest, that's half the fun). But for our friends across the pond in Netflix UK, there's a burning question that rivals the intensity of a five-alarm fire: How many seasons of Chicago Fire were there, really?
Prepare yourselves, dear reader, for a story that's shorter than a Severide haircut but packs more emotional weight than a Casey family barbeque.
A Brief History of Chicago Fire on Netflix UK: A Spark is Ignited
September 1st, 2021. A monumental day! Netflix UK announces it has acquired the rights to Chicago Fire. Fans rejoice, metaphorical hoses are unfurled, high fives are exchanged. The first four seasons of Chicago Fire are available for your binge-watching pleasure.
The Honeymoon Phase: Because Who Doesn't Love Kelly Severide (Without His Shirt On)?
For a glorious year, all is well. You devour episodes like Gabriela Dawson devours a plate of fries. You ship Stellaride harder than Mouch ships his magic tricks. You question life choices alongside Herrmann (though hopefully with slightly less questionable results).
The Plot Thickens (or Thins Out... Depending on How You Look at It)
Then, September 1st, 2022, rolls around like a rogue tire on the interstate. Disaster strikes! Chicago Fire vanishes from Netflix UK like smoke in the wind. Those glorious four seasons? Gone. Poof.
The Aftermath: Picking Up the Pieces (and Maybe Watching Reruns of Casey Arguing with Chief Boden)
Here we are, folks. The mystery is solved. A mere four seasons graced the screens of Netflix UK. A cruel twist of fate, some might say. But hey, at least you got a taste of the Windy City's finest firehouse.
So what now? Well, there's always fanfiction (trust me, there's a LOT of it). Or, you could channel your inner Matthew Casey and get resourceful. Who knows, maybe someday Chicago Fire will return to Netflix UK in all its flame-retardant glory. Until then, stay safe out there, and don't forget to replace the smoke alarm batteries (seriously, don't be a Herrmann).
