Featured reviews
This show is gritty, emotional, and clever. The story lines are pretty original and interesting, yet realistic. Sometimes the officers are forced to make some tough decisions that break law and I imagine this "gray area" is something police deal with more than we know. I like all of the characters in their own right. All are believable in their roles. This is by far the strongest of not only the Chicagos but of the Dick Wolf series.
Not sure why people complain about morals. I don't watch these type of shows for morals, I watch them because they are fun. This show has their own justice which most of of understand we can't have, but would like to have. Bottom line well written show, great actors and actresses and down right a fun and entertaining show. I like the fact this this could be a crooked cop show, but does what is right to get the job done. Problem with the show is it's only on once a week. I am not sure if I can wait another week for episode 2.
If you are looking for a fun and exciting show, this is it. If you want morals and values, go watch Mr. Robinson

Chicago PD follows the Intelligence Unit as they investigated crimes in the city of Chicago. It's led by Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) who has a history of stepping over the line however he wants to get results. This series has a gritty feel to it that separates it from other police shows. The best thing about it is the cast (Beghe, Patrick John Flueger, Jesse Lee Soffer, LaRoyce Hawkins, Sophia Bush, Tracy Spiridakos, Marina Squerciati, Elias Korea's, etc.). It's one show of a bigger Chicago Universe that they created along with Chicago Fire & Chicago Med. I personally think Chicago PD is far and away the best of the 3 and definitely worth watching.
By far the best of the Chicago trilogy, and it's not even close. Voight is the best cop character currently on tv. I've already given up on Med, and am close to the same with Fire. I'm not into soap opera-driven storylines occupying the majority of an episode. I put PD in the same category as Streets of San Francisco, Hill Street Blues, The Shield and The Wire to name a few. That is the best TV available.
I love a good cop show and this one is definitely a great one! Great characters and development along with exciting plot lines. Season 8 was pretty terrible because they changed it completely to fit everyone's obsession with "all cops are bad" a few years back and I almost quit it. But season 9 was on par again! I am hoping it never ends and continues going in the right direction after the season 8 flop. I am impressed it hasn't become dull and repetitive for being on for so long!
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe show is filmed in Chicago. The actors/actresses trained for 3 months beforehand with retired S.W.A.T. personnel and real Chicago Police officers.
- GoofsPolice officers consistently say a person was DOA, which stands for Dead On Arrival (at a hospital), when the person is found dead at the scene of a crime. What they should say is DOS, which stands for Dead On Scene. However, while DOA can mean 'found to be dead upon arriving at hospital', it can also mean 'found dead at a scene, upon the arrival of an emergency medical service, or the police or other qualified first responders'.
