Stumbled across this show that follows EMTs, the trailer looked interesting so I gave it a watch. Glad I did!
The main character Dani is a 20-something trying to find her way both career-wise and generally in life. She finds herself as a "rookie" competing with other young paramedics for a spot on the rescue squad. That said, I felt the show's appeal is to a much broader age audience. The feelings of trying to prove oneself, to deal with parental expectations as an adult, to find a fit in a new work environment, to aim for perfection and then figure out how to deal with a major mistake are all relatable no matter what the age.
While there were hints of tough issues (workplace stressors, alcoholism, marital strain, difficult family relationships) on the whole very clean, something one could actually watch without the wholly unnecessary junk that plagues far too much media out there. And it wasn't just avoiding the bad, but including positive in a way that was uplifting and encouraging. I found myself after watching the 2nd episode considering how I deal with mistakes made in my profession.

We so appreciate Great American Family's shows that they both curate and produce. This new show by GAF started out with only five episodes. These were well cast, well scripted, and well acted. The cast is sincere, believable, and interacts well with each other. The writers of the show have not compromised their Christian values, as have so many other shows, nor have they made Christianity to look only like perfect people. This show depicts real people with real struggles - with interactions between Christians and non-Christians, with parents and their offspring, with employees competing with each other for the same employment positions, and with Christians struggling to find their purpose and place in God's Kingdom. The people of the United States need to see more shows like this one to turn around the moral decline that we are in. I hope that Great American Family will renew this show for the second season with more episodes, as well as continue it for many more seasons. We feel that the GAF network is the best of any offered in our area. Please don't fail us, and continue great shows like this one.
