FX's Rescue Me has proven to be a big hit among viewers and critics, and actress Tatum O'Neal believes the show's ability to present heavily dramatic storylines infused with humor not only makes it successful, but also sets it apart from other television shows on air.
"It's a little like life, you know?" O'Neal said to The Canadian Press. "I don't think it would be any good if you were just seeing flawed characters.”
Moreover, O'Neal said that Rescue Me, a show about "people dying in fires, marriages and break-ups, man's sexuality at 50 and all that stuff,” would become overly sentimental without the hilarity.
