NBC’s “One Chicago” franchise has been a huge hit for the network since its launch in 2012. The flagship series “Chicago Fire” regularly dominates its timeslot and reliably attracts viewers every Wednesday night. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it looks like the show’s 10th season is no different — “Chicago Fire” was the fourth most-watched show at the Live+3 rating during NBC’s premiere week from the 19th to the 25th. September. No matter how you slice it, fans love the trials and tribulations of the paramedics, rescue squad members and firefighters who make up the diverse cast of characters of the program. The innovative and well-directed stunt work in “Chicago Fire” helps spice up the thrilling mix of action and drama the show serves up every week. The end result is a show that is popular with fans of all ages.

Fans certainly seem to have their favorites, with 10 seasons and nearly 200 episodes of “Chicago Fire” to choose from. Voters on the show’s IMDb page crowned a particular episode as the best in the entire series. Which one do they think is the cream of the crop?

My miracle takes the crown

“My Miracle” is the Season 5 finale and the show’s 22nd episode. It combines a compelling plot with smaller, character-based story beats to create the popular “Chicago Fire” genre of drama, and with a score of 9.3 out of 10, it’s currently the most popular episode of show, according to IMDb.

The entire action of “My Miracle” revolves around a factory fire that members of Engine Company 51 and Truck 81 are called in to extinguish. That mission proved more dangerous than anticipated and resulted in many first responders becoming trapped in the fiery structure. The warehouse fire storyline ends on a cliffhanger that is not resolved until the Season 6 premiere, “It Wasn’t Enough”.

Elsewhere, Gabriela “Gabby” Dawson (Monica Raymund) and Captain Matthew Casey (Jesse Spencer) continue to argue over whether they should continue to keep Dawson’s useless father at home or kick him out outside. And Randy “Mouch” McHolland (Christian Stolte) plans to retire out of concern that he’s no longer fit for battle. Dawson, Casey, and Mouch’s beliefs in his abilities are all challenged by the fire. The final scene once again combines drama with action and makes good use of that familiar “Chicago Fire” formula. Fans will have to keep watching to see if the show delivers something better in Season 10.
