wickeremerged's review about Chicago P.D.(2014)

The pacing is commendable, but the first episode is a bit too dramatic, trying too hard to prove itself and keep the audience hooked. Hopefully, this isn't a case of "all looks and no substance". The boss' character appears to be a blend of a socio-political figure, embodying aspects of both a good cop/bad cop dynamic and the grit of a hard-boiled detective. I don't expect this series to be as good as The Shield, but I do hope the writers aspire to create something great that steers clear of clichés and sentimentality. It's crucial for them to avoid portraying the police as simple purveyors of black-and-white justice, opting instead for a more nuanced and realistic portrayal.
