Fire Country Season 3’s Revamped Bode Will Fix The Show’s Most Annoying Problem

Fire Country proved itself a gripping drama in seasons 1 and 2, but one issue plaguing

both seems it will likely be resolved in Fire Country season 3. The amazing

opportunity provided to Bode in Fire Country’s premiere wasn’t always appreciated

as Three Rock meant being home for him, inevitably tangling his wish for giving back to the community he hurt with the difficult work needed to collaborate with the friends and family he abandoned when Bode left Edgewater. Fire Country’s setup thus made its Bode developments exceedingly dramatic, to the point that it left little for Bode to enjoy.

The events of Fire Country seasons 1 and 2 didn’t help Bode settle down at Three Rock peacefully. Between how harshly loved ones like Jake and Vince reacted to his return and Sharon’s health problems, Bode could not catch a break. Fire Country season 1’s finale worsened things with Sleeper’s successful plot to get Bode back to jail, which all contributed to Bode’s approach always bordering on brooding, for which he couldn’t really be faulted considering how heavy some of the developments were. However, hints about Fire Country season 3 reveal that might finally change thanks to Bode’s newfound freedom.

A More Fun Bode Will Fix Fire Country’s Tone In Season 3 His Negative Approach Set The Tone For Seasons 1 & 2

Ahead of Fire Country season 3’s release, showrunner Tia Napolitano revealed how Bode’s mindset will be much different compared to seasons 1 and 2. Indeed, if seasons 1 and 2 focused on “dream-seeking,” season 3 can include a lot of “wish fulfillment,” as Bode being free means he finally has agency. Napolitano teased an “I’m not incarcerated anymore lightness” threaded throughout season 3 (via TVLine), hinting at his character finally being able to experience prolonged joy and fun, something Bode was often robbed of in seasons 1 and 2, which threw problems at him instead of helping him find peace.

Bode being fun and able to enjoy his freedom is a welcome addition to the firefighting drama’s third outing. After all, Freddy had already partially made fun of Bode’s tendency to look miserably absent-minded in Fire Country season 2’s finale, which may have contributed to Bode’s focus shifting from what he lost to his new resolve to become a Cal Fire firefighter. Bode focusing on the positive aspects of his new position can finally show his lighthearted side, one that doesn’t take everything so seriously, instead choosing to rejoice in his freedom to take a walk or go to Smokey’s.
