Rescue Me is a great show. A good friend of mine suggested a while ago that i should watch it, and i just recently took her up on it. I am on season 4, episode 2, and it has been one 'hot' show! The show takes place in New York, in a firehouse after the September 11th attacks. The personal struggles and drama within the show are top notch. The twists, turns, etc, alone make it well worth watching. Also, the 'ball-busting' as they call it is absolutely hilarious.
You can watch all of the backed seasons on Hulu.com, which i would recommend. Also, the show is now in season five, so if you catch up, watch it on FX.
All in all, an amazing, powerful show, right on par with Damages: Watch It.
