I started watching "Chicago Med", "Chicago Fire" and "Chicago P. D." randomly in Universal Channel. Soon I became addicted in "Chicago P. D." and decided to watch all the episodes in an one-month marathon. Sometimes I used to see ten episodes in only one day. The characters are wonderful and unfortunately some of them die (Olinsky, Nadia, Jin, Justin, Julie Wiilhite), and others leave the show (Antonio, Lindsay, Roman). There is crime, drama, action and romance in right doses and the episodes are never boring. Looking forward to seeing the eighth season soon. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Chicago P. D."

Like other reviews have mentioned; the show is full of cliches, acting (or over-acting) is an issue, and the biggest problem is that the characters violate every rule on regular basis and act tough and self-righteous about it - it has become tiresome.

The episode last night I thought would see the end on Hank Voight but no, he managed to get away with it. By the way, he is the one and only person responsible for Al's death. No one in the squad challenged him on that. Antonio picked a fight in the previous episode but that's it. Voight is 90% good but 10% a very dangerous man. Even as a character if he resembles the slightest bit of reality he is what is wrong with cops in the US. The writers don't even show a hint of judgment, in fact they have been increasingly justifying and enforcing his obnoxious behavior (covered up to be vigilante justice) - It is ok to a certain degree but they are over doing it, very wrong and dangerous.

If you expect even a hint of realism,don't watch this show I started watching this, thinking it would be and entertaining action packed show.How wrong I was. The show is so stupid you laugh and snicker through almost all the serious emotional scenes. ****************Warning Spoilers*********Warning Spoilers*********** They have taken every cliché they could think off, from every cop show and Hollywood movie they get their hands on. The acting is sub par,stiff,and wooden. The lines are cheesy at best, horrible at the worst. Sophia bush may be sexy as hell,but as an elite cop she is not believable at all.She look,sound and act like cheerleader.

The rumor has it, the actors had to undergo SWAT training before the show. I got the impression the producers, threw all that out the window. They miss 90% of what they shoot at,they have to strain so NOT catch up with the suspect during running scenes. And they call 5,56mm cop killer bullets(that one really made me laugh)

They are suppose to be an elite unit of some sort, but you never grasp what kind.They call them self the intelligence unit,but they seem to be doing a lot of field work. And they seem have no limit either, as to what cases they can take on either.They even outrank the secret service. Not to mention they beat suspects,and violate every right any citizen has.But somehow they never get reported to media nor all over the internet You hardly ever see a forensic team,the cops step all over evidence and crime scenes.Nothing ever goes to court.

Every criminal is clumsy and stupid, and leave a long easy trail for cops to follow. Everyone confess after been spoken harshly to. They never ever ask for a lawyer.One scene the cops actually tell the lawyer to leave the room so they can question the suspect.And the lawyer obeys The cops actually break more laws than the the criminals. It get more comical when the cops drive around shinny new black SUV cars who never goes with the neighborhood they roll into.Yet nobody realize they're cops And search warrants? Who needs them.They can basically break into anyone house,they can harass you at your work,they can beat you,accuse you publicly of murdering your own kid.And they don't have to answer to anybody.No lawsuits no internal affair.No getting dragged through the dirt on the internet or in the paperers. These guys make the gestapo look like altar boys

Without question this show keeps you on your toes every turn. I love The way they try to keep it as if was a real police show. The action and actors are down right AWSOME. Voight is such an intense character that he makes the show. Don't get me wrong I love All the characters but his intense nature and the way he does what has to be done to get the bad guy just AWSOME. The only negative thing I have to say is Lindsey needs to come back ! Whatever reason she left for they need to correct and get her back. Also, the killing off of Al in season 5 just broke my heart. I understand characters get killed of on police shows, however, they are killing off to many. The loss of Roman was also hard to take. They should try to bring him back. He was an awesome addition to the cast. Lastly in season 5 Voight was not in as much as seasons 1 to 4. He was always with the team when they did anything. Now the team is doing more stuff without him then he shows up afterwards. They need to have him more scenes like they did in seasons 1to 4. But what an AWESOME show !!!!
