5 reasons Chicago Fire needs to fix Brettonio next
5. They genuinely belong together
Every TV show seems like it needs a ship these days, which has resulted in many TV ships feeling like they’re put together, rather than belonging together. Brettonio is one of those ships that you honestly feel deserves to be together.
Let’s face it: some One Chicago ships seem more engineered by the writers than naturally coming together. Take a look over at Chicago Med and the new Connor Rhodes/Ava Bekker storyline to see what we mean; everyone knew from the moment Ava (Norma Kuhling) was introduced last season that she was there to flirt with Connor (Colin Donnell), and so the whole thing feels like something we have to watch instead of something we want to watch. And that’s not a slam on Med; that’s something that happens all across TV.
Brettonio is not one of those ships. Kara Killmer and Jon Seda honestly have a great chemistry together where it’s a joy to watch them play off each other. More than that, we’ve seen how the Brett and Antonio characters complement each other and how they are different together than apart.
It’s clear that they don’t work with anyone else, because we’ve seen the proof in those other stunted storylines like Antonio’s fling in “Chasing Monsters” and Cruz’s renewed interest in Brett that’s done nothing but cause heartache for Cruz. Chicago Fire and Chicago PD have tried to do other things with both characters, and it hasn’t accomplished anything other than to prove that Brettonio has become an honest part of the One Chicago world.
So now with Stellaride together, let’s hope Brettonio is the next ship that Chicago Fire sets right. The characters, the actors, and the One Chicago fans all deserve to see Brett and Antonio get their happy ending.
