"County Rescue" on Great American Pure Flix

 Many thanks to Great American Pure Flix for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

I must admit, when I first heard the name "County Rescue", my first thought was a county fair or something to that effect. How wrong I was! This new show is about EMT's experiencing the beginning of their careers and the challenges that are inevitable. 

If you enjoy a good medical drama, this might be right up your alley. The first episode introduces two very new, very nervous EMT's. I admire anyone who can work as an EMT because they are on the front-line, taking care of people on (probably) one of the worst days of their lives. This is the story of an EMT unit who save lives while navigating their own life, love, and faith.

The characters face trials of faith, insecurity, and so many things that many of us face regularly. 

This show will be available on Great American Pure Flix on 2/23/24, and on Great American Family on 2/26/24. Remember, everything on these platforms is clean and safe for the whole family to watch.

Let me know what you think once you have a chance to watch it! Until then, check out the trailer here.
