Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee that this post will make you a firefighter. But it might make you really good at binge-watching.
So, you're hooked on Chicago Fire? You're in good company. There's something undeniably thrilling about watching a bunch of brave souls run into burning buildings while looking incredibly hot. But let's get down to business. How do you actually watch this show without setting your couch on fire?
The Old-School Way: TV, Glorious TV
If you're a fan of the classic TV experience - complete with commercials that are more like mini-movies than interruptions - then tuning in to NBC is your jam. Check your local listings for the exact time, but it usually airs on Wednesdays. Just remember to set your DVR, because let's face it, life happens.
The New-Age Ninja: Streaming Services
For those who prefer to binge-watch in their pajamas, there are a few options.
- Peacock: This is NBC's streaming service, so it's basically the home of Chicago Fire. You can catch up on old seasons and likely stream new episodes live or on-demand. Just don't get too attached to a character, because Peacock might decide to pull a fast one and remove them from the streaming library.
- Other Options: Keep an eye out for platforms like Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and cable providers. They sometimes offer Chicago Fire as part of their packages.
