Brace Yourselves, Fire Fans: How to Watch Chicago Fire Season 12 Without Getting Burned (Unless It's From Laughter)
Ah, Chicago Fire. The show that makes you yell at the TV for characters to get out of burning buildings while simultaneously wishing you could high-five them for their bravery. Season 12 is here, folks, and it promises to be a scorcher (get it? Scorcher? Fire? I'll see myself out). But before you grab the marshmallows and cozy up to a literal inferno (don't do that), here's your guide on how to watch the latest season without any drama (except for the, you know, dramatic firefighting).
Option 1: Streaming the Dream
- Peacock: The Holy Grail for Chicago Fire fanatics. They have all 12 seasons, so you can binge-watch from the very beginning if you need a refresher on why Casey still isn't Chief Boden (seriously, what's the hold-up?). Plus, there's probably a "One Chicago" themed drinking game hidden somewhere in the app (don't say we didn't warn you).
- Prime Video and Other Shady Streaming Services: Look, we all know a guy who knows a guy with a questionable password. We won't judge (much). But be warned, venturing into the dark corners of the internet can be risky. You might end up watching a documentary about competitive cheese rolling instead (it's surprisingly intense).
Option 2: The Traditionalist's Choice
- NBC: Catch it live on Wednesdays at 9/8c! Perfect for those who like the thrill of commercials (or the chance to yell at your TV in real-time with fellow fans on social media). But beware, this option requires, you know, actual planning. Who even does that anymore?
Bonus Round: Because We Care (Maybe a Little)
- DVR: For those who haven't quite embraced the streaming revolution (or just can't resist the allure of fast-forwarding through commercials). Just remember, setting your DVR requires a level of commitment that some might find... dramatic gasp outdated.
No Matter How You Watch, Remember:
- Snacks are mandatory. Firefighting is hungry work, and so is watching it (all that cheering is exhausting).
- Tissues are optional, but highly recommended. This show has a way of tugging at your heartstrings (unless you're made of stone, you monster).
- Prepare to yell at the screen. It's practically a Chicago Fire viewing tradition.
So there you have it, folks! Your one-stop guide to watching Chicago Fire Season 12. Now get out there and enjoy the show! Just don't try any of those firefighting moves at home. Leave that to the professionals (and maybe Kelly Severide, because who doesn't love a man who can rappel down a burning building?).
