Chicago Med: Discussion Thread

CHICAGO MED

Executive producer Dick Wolf delivers the newest installment of the compelling Chicago franchise, an emotional thrill ride through the day-to-day chaos of the citys most explosive hospital and the courageous team of doctors who hold it together. They will tackle unique new cases inspired by topical events, forging fiery relationships in the pulse-pounding pandemonium of the emergency room, and through it all, familiar faces from the Chicago police and fire departments will intertwine as this third team of Chicago heroes hits the ground running.

The cast includes Oliver Platt, S. Epatha Merkerson, Laurie Holden, Nick Gehlfuss and Yaya Dacosta.

Dick Wolf, Matt Olmstead, Michael Brandt and Derek Haas serve as writers and executive producers. Danielle Gelber, Peter Jankowski and director Joe Chappelle (pilot) also executive produce. Chicago Med is produced by Universal Television and Wolf Films.

Anybody else watch the new series?

I didn't think it was bad, and I really liked it at times. I'm always here for Brian Tee since seeing him in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift. But I lovvvvved Maggie and the actress that plays her.

A lot less frantic than "Code Black", but has the Chicago franchise feel. That alone will keep my attention. A solid cast led by S.Epatha and Oliver Platt. Dick Wolf has always been terrific with his crime shows, and this was a good start in medicine...

Next Up.... Chicago Teachers!

I really enjoyed. Felt like the spiritual successor to ER, though with some differences. I love the other two Chicago shows and this one probably won't be any different.

The recent episode with the pregnant homeless woman that had a couple lined up to adopt it...as long as it wasn't premature was very good. S. Epatha Merkerson had a great scene with the adoption agent. Loved when she called her "nothing but a human trafficker".  Oliver Platt is great here as the psychiatrist.
