Sinekatalog’s take
A drama about incarcerated women who earn a measure of dignity by fighting wildfires. It is earnest, uplifting and built on strong teamwork themes. A sturdy choice for viewers who like inspirational, redemption-minded stories.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
