Cheesy and ch...Thanks sloopy for pointing this out. Cheesy and chiche, were the perfect terms to describe it. I wanted so much for this to be a good show, but it was terrible. Awful acting and a terrible story. You can't call Chicago the greatest city and then focus on how you can take apart the relationshipsthat make the city operate. <br /><br />They worked so hard to paint the police and politicians as corrupt and evil, but then talked about how amazing this city is and how Chicago makes great things happen, like recovering from the fire.<br /><br />And no Anon, the friend of your friend is an idiot who wants this to be true more than it is. Yes, there is often another motive behind other people actions, but nobody goes around justifying it as the Chicago way. I really wanted a Chicago based show to stick around, but I don't think this is going to be the one.<br /><br />Beals is from chicago, but sounds like she's from new England. I keep expecting her to say "chowda". What's with that?<br /><br />Alright, southland is almost on now, so at least I can get a decent cop drama in to wash away this stench.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-60105618962401395672011-02-08T15:31:19.178-06:002011-02-08T15:31:19.178-06:00Have to agree on Jennifer's accent.

I found the show kind of confusing. The storyline wasn't very streamlined. It seemed to jump from scene to scene with no congruency.<br /><br />I did enjoy trying to figure out where scenes were shot as well. That was more enjoyable than the show itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1167519580792566980.post-73691722736839714022011-02-08T10:21:03.767-06:002011-02-08T10:21:03.767-06:00A friend of a friend of mine is a chicago cop and ...A friend of a friend of mine is a chicago cop and said this show was very accurate. Hopefully this show will not just entertain but expose real problems of chicago politics. I've never met an honest politician in this city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
