With 9-1-1season 8’s highly anticipated midseason premiere nearing, the LA-based first responder procedural has a lot to take away from the series finale of its spinoff, 9-1-1: Lone Star. The Texas spinoff wasn’t without flaws, with the 9-1-1: Lone Star finale’s controversial time-jump still rustling feathers, but there were plenty of bold and original moves made by the drama that the original series could benefit from adopting.
