Still, the ending is unbelievably painful.
For all of9-1-1s gruesome injuries, the 118 has always managed to prevail.
Without the lingering question of who will make it out alive,9-1-1s biggest emergencies have lower stakes.
There remained a certain sense of security that the fan-favorite characters would scrape through, hurt but still breathing.
The selling point of ABCs hit procedural has never been the danger or threat of death.
Rather,9-1-1is a comfort show that succeeds largely due to its talented ensemble and the odd family they form together.
9-1-1 brought its biggest ever death in eight years, and it was a huge risk to take.
Tim Minear knew this, but also knew it was important.
Naturally, thats not to say Bobbys death is incomprehensible.
The same shocking plot points that makeGreys Anatomyinfamous, however, dont naturally fit into9-1-1.
Can 9-1-1 Actually Survive Without Bobby?
Unfortunately, it can only get worse before it even possibly gets better.
New episodes of9-1-1can be streamed on Hulu the day after they air on ABC.
Bobby was far more than a boss, and his absence will be palpablein future9-1-1episodes.
The turmoil that will follow is nothing short of life-altering, and9-1-1cant possibly expect season 9 to feel normal.
Bobbys death marks a turning point for9-1-1, but its unclear whether it was for better or worse.
