If you're looking for a pretty funny show where you can just turn your brain off and not think Tacoma FD is it! It's made by Broken Lizard (the same guys that made Super Troopers, Beerfest, etc.) so if you like their humor you'll love this.

Current career firefighter. It's so great to see a show that doesn't portray the service as a bunch of alcoholic drug addicted, brooding glory monsters. This show is awesome.

Tacoma FD is create by Broken Lizard (the same guys that made Super Troopers, Beerfest, etc.) so if you like their humor you'll love this. It takes everything you love about those movies and they move it to a fire station. Each episode is full of laugh at loud moments. The chemistry between the cast is exactly what you want from a good comedy. I'm glad enough people like it that it keeps getting renewed. It's already going on Season 4 and more and more people seem to be catching on to how good this show is so it's not going anywhere. I've loved every minute of it so far and you probably will too. I can't wait for more to come!
If you like Super Troopers, you'll love this - A Fire Station full of bored lunatics and their shenanigans. Watch it Meow - you won't regret it 🤣
From two of the guys who brought us the "Super Troopers" movies, comes this little gem of a TV series. It's raucous, it's offensive, and it's really funny! I always thought Super Troopers was sort of a slow-burn comedy - I didn't like it when I first saw it but grew to love it over time. But this series was instantly lovable with some great characters, brilliantly comical situations and plenty of absolutely hilarious moments.
Having watched 9 out of 10 episodes now, I'm dreading the end of season one next week and can only hope that it is renewed for another (longer) season (or two, or three, or more).
If you liked Super Troopers, you will love this. If you didn't like Super Troopers, you'll probably still like this. If you hate comedies then why have you even read this far? Go and watch Game of Thrones or something.
Highly recommended! Encore!!

Each episode is funnier than the last. The comedy timing and chemistry is amazing. Every character is involved to some extent in every episode. Sometime they go for the obvious joke, but mostly it's a bit off the wall, and very smart. If you like the "Broken Lizard" style of comedy, you'll enjoy this show. I like the fact that the on-demand feature lets you choose an "explicit" version.

One of the funniest shows in the game right now. Great cast, excellent chemistry. Everything funny about Super Troopers plus a little something extra! I hope they keep it going with this one.

Funny as hell. Laughed the whole time. Highly recommend, especially if you're a Super Troopers fan.

You'll probably be cool with this. If you don't appreciate that type of comedy you shouldn't bother.
So much funnier than I expected. Broken Lizard comedy has always been fine, but this had me audibly laughing. The cast is perfect. Everybody shines. Don't drop the ball, TruTV. Greenlight a second season pronto.
Everytime I rewatch an episode I see another new joke or something totally hilarious. Highly recommend for good, low brow humor.

A very bright comedy with wit and raunchy zingers. The show's simple setting in a fire station combined with crafty writing creates a very easy going and hilarious sitcom. I've seen every episode and cannot wait for future episodes

So freaking funny, its a guy series, light and funny, sometimes lil bit silly, but in a good way. perfect for 420. it's a mix of supertroopers + Brooklyn 99 + Reno 911 but in a fire department.

I had to look for this show... it's on TruTV. Watching on the app they give the choice between a TV one and an explicit one. The one downside are commercials - I've gotten used to streaming without them.

Tacoma FD is a great comedy...in the vein of Super Troooers....The last 2 episodes "Fire Fighters Ball" parts 1 + 2 were the best...the whole cast is amazing....also font forget to watch Talkoma FD which is right after the show...very funny too!
I'm not the target demo for this show, but I love it nonetheless. I grew up around firefighters, and it is awesome to see the "sick" humor and ridiculous outlook brought out for everyone to appreciate. Yeah, it's exaggerated and real emergency personnel are super focused and professional on the call, but it's super funny in this setting. Try it!

I found the show on HBO Max and have really enjoyed it. It's light hearted and funny. They've got a great cast with really good chemistry. I initially thought it would be a little more vulgar, but it's not. It's something that just about anyone can enjoy. It has an occasional edge to it, but it's usually within the bounds of a good, easy to watch sit com. I really hope they keep making episodes of it. Usually I don't catch shows like this until they've been off the air for 5+ years, so it's great to catch this one while they are still making it. Great characters, funny show, good premise. Give it a chance, you'll probably like it.
It's comedy. It's really quite funny, and even funnier if you are in emergency services. It's not a top ten of all time comedy but it's plenty funny compared to a lot of today's garbage.
Comparing it to Brooklyn 911? What about St Elsewhere, ER, Grey's Anatomy, etc... all based on the same premise. What about every ridiculous fire, EMS, police and ER drama? Are any of them based on any reality other than soap opera? If you want ridiculous premise disguised as drama, then watch Chicago Fire, etc.... ad nauseam. If you need a half hour of light comedy, watch this instead.
I was hoping for Tacoma references due to the name but the name is just supposed to be a play on the fact that it rains here often. I didn't laugh at any of the jokes. I am not a fan of the filming style.

I hate writing review after only seeing 1 or 2 episodes but I think this show deserves it because the premier was hilarious!
This show really reminds me of Blue Mountain State, and The League. Very similar comedy, chemistry between the cast and overall feel.
This is nothing like The Office, like some other reviewer noted.
It's just an easy watch, fun jokes with a fun cast. Also, on the TruTV app they put up unrated versions of the episodes with cursing and such, much more enjoyable.
I love the acting, jokes, stories they live every day. Only one missing here is maybe Jay Chandrasekhar. Make it happen

I thought super troopers was pretty funny and this show just continues the laughs. Great spin off. It has been done very good!!! You should get some of the super troopers to be guest on the show sometimes
