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.
I really like how this show is done, i also like chicago med and chicago fire but this one so far is my favorite. I enjoy the action that keeps the show moving along at a really good pace, the mystery of trying to figure out where the show is goin before it gets there, and i've always liked cop shows so there might be a little bias on my part. So far im really liking the characters, the acting is pretty good and the overall story takes no time at all to get going so im invested in whats happening right away and im not having to suffer thro any slow burn type storylines. I think the action here is pretty good, the fights, the chases etc etc and overall its so far just a really good, action packed cop drama and i've always enjoyed those types of shows.
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.
In my opinion this show as well as Chicago Fire (Of which Chicago PD is a spin off of) are the best cop, paramedic and firefighter shows since Third Watch.
Chicago PD is full of action right off the bat and although it may not be the most realistic or factual cop show it is entertaining which is what TV is meant to be. If i wanted to see something realistic id watch a reality highway patrol show... ZzzZz
If you like Chicago Fire Third Watch, SVU or any of those type of shows your bound to love this!
I'm hooked and i've only seen one episode.

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'.
