3) There are milestones left unturned

Chicago Fire season 6 has been a season of change. Relationships have started and ended and started up again. Characters have changed jobs and been promoted. Others might even wind up leaving in this week’s two-hour season finale (say it ain’t so, Chief Boden!). We need another season because there are now a lot of plot points that this season threw out, that we don’t want to see left hanging.

Will Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) and Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) seriously make things work between them, since the show keeps wanting to push them apart for the second time? Will we get to see Gabriela Dawson (Monica Raymund) and Casey have a baby, now that she’s mentioned she wants to try again? What is Boden (Eamonn Walker) going to do? If this season had given us his promotion to fire commissioner, and Dawsey getting their family, and Severide settling down, then that would be a place to stop. It isn’t, because all these things are still up in the air.

Every TV show eventually gets to a spot where it’s okay to let it go, because the characters have grown to a point where the audience can walk away at peace, or because there just aren’t stories to tell. After more than 120 episodes, we are not anywhere close to that with Chicago Fire. We need more time for these characters and their relationships to keep growing.
