Fire Country Season 3 (Episode 15 Added) | TV Series

Bode Leone fights fires and family secrets as a free man, igniting drama in Edgewater.

Review

Fire Country Season 3 (through Episode 15) is a blazing escalation of CBS’s firefighter saga, leaning into high-stakes action and tangled personal stakes with a heftier 22-episode order. Max Thieriot’s Bode Leone, now free from prison, chases a Cal Fire spot, clashing with uncle Luke (Michael Trucco) and navigating his parents’ civil war—Diane Farr’s Sharon gunning for Luke’s job, Billy Burke’s Vince caught in the middle. The season kicks off with Gabriela’s (Stephanie Arcila) wedding to Diego (Rafael de la Fuente) interrupted by a fire, leaving her “I do” in limbo, while Jake (Jordan Calloway) faces paternity twists with Gen (Alix West Lefler). Standouts include Jared Padalecki’s three-episode arc as Camden (Episodes 3-5), a cocky SoCal firefighter sparking Bode’s growth, and Morena Baccarin’s Sheriff Mickey Fox (returning in Episode 16), teasing her 2025 spinoff.

Action peaks—like the pool refuge in Episode 9 or the lighthouse storm rescue in 15—pair with quieter beats, like Vince’s dad’s dementia (Episode 14). Pacing wobbles mid-season (Episode 12’s baseball game feels filler), and Gabriela’s arc lags, but Thieriot’s grit and the Leone family messiness keep it humming. Posts on X hype Padalecki and the wildfires, though some call it “soapier” this year. With a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score, it’s a robust outing—best when it’s raw and reckless, still building to a May finale that promises spinoff fuel and Bode’s redemption.
