Okay, look. I’ll own up to my mustache misgivings. I’m not a mustache person. I happen to feel the mustache doesn’t work on most people. It’s not a casual look you can pull off! It’s almost like it doesn’t work in real life. It’s just …a vibe.
Like, it works on Freddie Mercury, but it doesn’t work on just anyone trying to break into the music industry. It works on Ted Lasso but not on Jason Sudeikis. And it really, really didn’t work for me when I first saw it on Ryan Guzman. But maybe it does kinda work on Eddie Diaz, I don’t know. But this first still of Season 8 released by showrunner Tim Minear is actually making me re-think my mustache hatred. Maybe. I’ll wait to see it in action, but maybe.
Sure, other things are going on in the background, presumably. There are way too many trucks for my liking! And 9-1-1 does like its big emergencies to start off a season. But if Eddie Diaz is going to treat this emergency like a runway, and 9-1-1 is going to focus most of its pre-Season 8 promo on the mustache, then I have to follow their lead and play the game.
Here’s the aforementioned picture:
So, who is Eddie looking at? Is the mustache doing it for you? Is the hair? Is this crisis facial hair? Will he shave it off once Chris comes back? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
9-1-1 returns to ABC on Thursday, September 28th at 8/7c.
