OPINION (Charisma) – Fox’s 9-1-1: Lone Star had the makings of a very promising show. Rob Lowe plays a New York City fire chief, who survived the Twin Towers and moves to Texas nearly 20 years later to give his son a better life. One would think the show would support traditional conservative values, including patriotism, respect and family. However, the show seems to cling to a progressive agenda.
Lowe plays fire chief Owen Strand, who moves to Texas to head a fire department that lost nearly everyone in an explosion. Strand wants to shake up the department and hires diverse people to fill out his crew. The hires include Strand’s homosexual son, T.K.; a transgender person; and a Muslim woman. In episode one, Strand’s son, T.K., played by Ronen Rubinstein, proposes to his boyfriend. When the boyfriend rejects T.K., T.K. overdoses on drugs. By the second episode, T.K. is hooking up with a male paramedic in Texas. FULL REPORT
