Rescue me is so underrated

[@JaredJensenLuvr]

Denis Leary is my favorite actor in this video for sure! Rescue Me is always amazing!

[@stephanied6711]

I still love this show

[@yamahaguy1732]

I’m watching it for the first time sadly I’m almost finished with it. Been amazing tho!

[@mkultra8729]

What a trip to see Dennis Leary and Bill Paxton sitting next to each other. Bryan Cranston too.

[@Crimson11100]

Bill Paxton is so underrated. I love him and Michael C Hall too.

[@benniewise2]

Omg!!! Dexter and Morpheus chillin next to eachother... I can't believe this is actually happening right before my eyes holy crap love them both haha

[@atempo206]

Denis Leary energy is amazing..just talking about stuff is so different from other actors which are like half dead in interviews.

[@lindadixon4341]

Denis' character is such a combination of so many men I know!

[@lindadixon4341]

Best show ever!

[@ItsTimeIDisappear09]

Michael Chiklis should be here too

[@mandic21]

What a beautiful atmosphere...

[@buddy51]

Wonderful actors all. We truly are in a Golden Age of TV drama. Just wish Kyle Chandler of "Friday Night Lights" could be included in the mix.

[@DeflectiveCheese]

bryan is the man

[@cstinia]

Love Michael C. Hall and Simon Baker!
:D

[@crunkers_]

I just realized.. Dexter and Walter White are exact opposite characters. Dexter is a stereotypical bad guy who finds himself doing a lot of good things and Walt is a stereotypical good guy who finds himself doing a lot of bad things.
