This series makes you wonder if our police system would be capable of handling situations of such a nature.
Using audio from actual 911 calls to frame the stories, Panic 9-1-1 places viewers in the middle of harrowing conversations between dispatchers and fear-stricken callers as life-and-death situations unfold in real-time.
Each call is enhanced by stylised recreations and interviews with witnesses, officers, call dispatchers and, in some cases, the callers themselves.
Viewers are left in the dark concerning the outcome of each emergency - who lives and who dies - until the very last second.
In the Season 3 premiere, "There is a Gun to Her Back": A woman holds a fast-food restaurant manager hostage.
Also, first responders scramble to locate a woman who flipped her car into a flooded ditch and a couple defend themselves from an intruder.
