'9-1-1' Season 8's User Ratings Plummet as Fans React to Bobby's Confirmed Death
9-1-1's user ratings drop rapidly as fans react to Bobby Nash's confirmed death in Season 8.
9-1-1 is still feeling the fallout of Bobby Nash's death, and not just in-universe. Fans have made their displeasure known about the tragic loss of Peter Krause's long-serving captain, whether by billboards or petitions to bring him back to the ABC procedural. The most noticeable effect it's had on the show, outside of how the 118 has grappled with the paradigm-shifting moment from Season 8, Episode 15, is in the reviews. A quick glance at IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes shows a steep decline from the typically high user ratings the fan-favorite series has enjoyed over the years, stemming from "Lab Rats" and now bleeding into the follow-up episode, "The Last Alarm." It shouldn't come as a shock, either, given that the controversial moment was just about the last thing anyone wanted from the drama.
