What This Means For Sheriff Country
Sheriff Country’s trailer perfectly sets up Mickey’s challenges in the Fire Country spinoff. All the scenes Mickey was shown working in the trailer emphasized how unlike any other procedural Sheriff Country can be, due to Edgewater being a small town and Mickey knowing half of it. Sheriff Country’s trailer also hinted at cases that might challenge that belief in Mickey.
Fire Country season 3, episode 16 has already touched on Mickey’s unique difficulties as a sergeant and a daughter, as she wants to spend time with Wes, but she doesn’t know about his business.
All in all, the trailer offers a perfect snapshot of what Sheriff Country can be as a procedural drama and how connected to Fire Country it can be. With some scenes having smoke in the background and others featuring key Fire Country characters, Sheriff Country’s trailer demonstrates how close a link there can be between Fire Country and its spinoff.
Our Take On Sheriff Country’s Trailer
Fire Country being set in the fictional town of Edgewater let the show focus simultaneously on firefighting in Northern California’s peculiar challenges and the reality of the inmate fire camps. Fire Country revolving around Edgewater and introducing Mickey as Sharon’s sister inevitably impacts Sheriff Country, which will have to showcase Mickey’s unique problems as a sergeant in a small town.
Sheriff Country’s trailer shows it can be a glorious expansion of the Fire Country universe. By showcasing all the key elements that make its story unlike any other, it raises the hype for Sheriff Country in and of itself and for what it can tell more of Fire Country’s characters, making it feel like its premiere cannot come quickly enough.
