CHICAGO PD

District 21 of the Chicago Police Department is made up of two distinctly different groups. There are the uniformed cops who patrol the beat and go head to head with the city’s street crimes. And there’s the Intelligence Unit, the team that combats the city’s major offenses – organized crime, drug trafficking, high profile murders and beyond. Leading the Intelligence team is Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), a man not against skirting the law in the pursuit of justice. Demanding and tough, only those who can take the heat survive under Voight’s command. Take Detective Antonio Dawson (Jon Seda) – despite his troubled history with his boss, Dawson has ambitions of running the unit… so if that means facing off against Voight every day, he’ll persevere. From the street cops with dreams of moving up to the elite crew who are already in, “life on the job” is a daily challenge. The enormous responsibilities that come with the territory take an emotional toll, as we’ll find when we follow the personal lives of our characters outside the walls of District 21.

From Emmy-winning producer Dick Wolf and the team behind Chicago Fire, comes Chicago PD, a gripping, character-driven new police drama about those who put it all on the line to serve and protect. Chicago PD is produced by Universal Television and Wolf Films. Executive Producers/Writers are Dick Wolf, Matt Olmstead, Michael Brandt, and Derek Haas. Peter Jankowski and Danielle Gelber exec-produce. Joe Chappelle exec produces and directs.

I must say that I am really enjoying this show. I had my doubts before it premiered but I am riveted week after week. I was shocked as hell that the one officer got shot like that in the pilot. I did not see that coming at all.

Last night's ep. was equally good and a great way to finish a climatic story.

I am loving the chemistry between Sophia and Jesse.

I love Dawsey. Wondering how long their romance can last. I like that female cop on Chicago PD (whatever her name is) but she's not very believable as a cop. I mean Shay and Dawson are both pretty women on Chicago Fire, but this chick looks like a super model. It's very Charlie's Angels.

Really? I too like her as a cop but I wouldn't call her model-esque. It took me seeing her in motion to think that she was pretty and now I can't get enough. I really loved her dressed down look when she got all glammed up fora night out on the town with her girls.

I like them too and I am happy they finally got together. I could not stand her with that one guy during S1, bleh.

About what in particular? I feel so bad for Jay and I'm loving the development of his back story. Same for Sophia Bush's character. They're adding little layers at a time and I can't wait to see what we learn next. Hating the main guy's son. What a jerk! I hope he gets killed off soon. Can you tell how awful I am about even remember most of the character's names? I don't know what it is, but I don't think of any of them by name ever. Just associate them with each other. I have to do better. Starting with Jay. wub.png

    • I would be fascinated to see the GL episode counts from that time, if they existed. Six years seems like a long time, but Reva was front burner 24/7. I don't see how she could've done episodic tv. The only breaks she really got were her maternity leaves. And it's not like even the late '90's when there were shows shooting in NY (well, mostly L&O).
    • I've been pondering how strange it is that in real life NLG was being more supportive of Haley Pullos than I would have been ....  and now Alexis is doing that for Kristina.
    • Natalia worrying about her dress getting dirty during her DUI arrest had to be a reference to Haley Pullos and the $400 shirt.   The birth scene was really good. It could have been OTT but wasn't. There was this great moment was Michael was talking about how he's seen every sonogram and been with her all the way where it registered with Willow that he's been extremely involved with this and she had no idea but then couldn't say anything because she's obviously cheating too. And then they acknowledged each other and he actually thanked her. It was very humanizing for both characters.
    • This show treats Claire like a glorified extra prop not the granddaughter of the 2 biggest supercouples this show has ever had. I don't think was ever invested in Claire nor writing for her & her connections to majority of the town. What a waste of a legacy character with so much potential 
    • Kim Zimmer could have had a nice career as a supporting actress in Hollywood, but that does not appear to be what she wanted. That's fine, but in the eighties, she was not going to have many options as a leading actress. The eighties were brutal for a performer like her.  Her one big film role lasted a minute or two. Even while she was on GL, she should have been doing episodic television. Was her agent that incompetent or was she just bad at auditioning? Her episode of "Designing Women" was quite popular and was discussed at the time for its subject matter, but she never followed up on it. It's bizarre to me. 
    • Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice!  My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.
    • Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.
    • It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..
