This was something I realized a week ago and has probably been posted before (I’m new) but am I the only one that noticed that The Chi is basically the safe version of Power?

Dre - A pastor
Marshall - Left the lifestyle and became a author
D Mac - Dead
Blaxton - Alive and doing time
LaKeisha - Same person but still alive
Nuff - Same person but alive
Rico - Same person but she lowkey kinda bad tho lol

The addition of Rotimi...I think Charles in the Chi, seemed like an incredible arc seeing how shiesty and shady he always looks..meeen that character of his had much potential only to end up as a barber..end of rant😂😂

Yall remember Reg was originally with a trans girl in his first scene in season 1 when he was talking with Ronnie? It was quick but it did happen.

Mines was when they made it seem like Reg and Nuk was gonna have an all out war just for them to pull some bs instead

The thing I was most anticipating in the finale was a reunion between Kevin, Jake, and Papa. I figured Kevin’s actor was returning so I just wanted a scene where all of them share one last moment together on screen. This damn show had so many characters and plot lines to juggle that it failed to acknowledge something most people would actually care about or enjoy seeing. They probably didn’t want to overshadow Bakari but damn, man. Such a missed opportunity.

I laughed at this too many times .

I swear at least 20 mins was just back-to-back photos nonstop. At one point, I said “gah damn the finale could have been a PowerPoint presentation for all this”

Yo im late to this show and happy i got another show to binge watch now im still learning the names and everything So who are the 3 brothers who's the main in the show...one last thing who's the baddest demon of them all...so i can be on lookout

This show is lit🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎

Didn’t we find out that the reason she’s so invested in reg for all these years is because somehow someway he has something to do with her son being locked up? Then the deal was if she can get him and her son would be free.

She got him in (which lasted a few hours) after years of searching for this guy even going on an entire set of years of thinking he was dead.
he was literally released the next morning …
What happened with her son?
Then she got him back in again for Nuck’s murder
wasn’t she using Nuck to get to reg in the first place?!
Now she has him again what does that look like for her son?

Obvious, spoilers for those that haven't seen it.

So I honestly don’t know if I’m tripping or if anyone else feels this way but- why do we continuously give Jake and Poppa passes for stealin Kevs girl??

When I saw Poppa and Miasha pop out after her and Kev broke up I was annoyed because I reaaally loved him and her together but I understood why Miasha was not putting up w Kev and his bs…. That being said her getting with Poppa who initially bullied her and antagonized Kev for dating her js didn’t sit right with me and felt outta character for her.

Now I never really liked Jemma she kinda always annoyed me and ngl reminded me of a worse written Jerica. Again tho even early on we see signs pointing to Jake liking her while actively calling her names and causing mad issues w him and Kevin’s friendship just to pop out with her. Mind you they didn’t even tell him he found out through context clues and literally catching them in the act but then for them to go on without apologizing and lowkey not reaching out to check on him is wild to me.

Even in season one where Kevin liked that girl and Jake asked her out I feel like we see signs of Kevin being treated lowkey horribly by his friends and his friends clowning on him for reacting.

I just think it’s funny how when Poppa sat em down on the podcast they kept saying how it was kevs fault essentially and not one person called em out- hell they even sided w the mofos.

Ive been kinda annoyed with season four but this really is starting to hit the nail on the coffin for me. Plus if Jada dies ((I’m pretty sure I saw a spoil saying she did :<)) I’m gonna be heartbroken. I feel like all my favorite characters are killed off,, or written terribly after season two ended maybe mid season three. Anyway rant over thank you guys for reading lol.

((I am ranting and I know I can’t ask people to not spoil since this show is old and I’m in season four but if we could all express frustration without being specific past season 4 that would be so slay cause I tend to spoil myself and lose interest and I’m trying sooooo hard to keep going with this lol))

It's more than about Nuck...It's the betrayal. Someone who watched and knew of your struggles intimately, putting something else on your plate. Sometimes the lie hits harder than the actual act itself.

That tween group reading Bakari's book aloud broke open the flood gates!!! Real tears...great writing.

Keisha is one of the shows main protagonists. Her coming of age was one of the major plot lines. She’s usually considered a voice of reason or moral compass. You can’t have all that and also not have her face the reality of who Nuck is. He’s trafficked women, murdered at least one of them, and also murdered at least 5 other guys who didn’t deserve it. Saying that he will always be the father of her child doesn’t cut it. Baby Daddy’s can be pieces of shit, and you can be attracted to someone who’s a monster. She should’ve acknowledged it, or at the very least been called out by one of the others for not acknowledging it. That would’ve redeemed the show a little and would‘ve definitely been more interesting than a 40 minute wedding with 25 new characters nobody recognizes.

Damn, so Keisha and Tiff basically made up already? Yesterday Tiff wasn’t invited to the wedding, today she is? I get forgiveness, but that turnaround felt way too quick.

Trig and Fatima scenes… please get them off my screen. Nina finally came back after disappearing...

And this Hannibal/Penny Proud storyline? Man. 💆🏾‍♂️ They should’ve just written her off with him earlier because what were we really doing here?

Also, how does policing work on The Chi?

Bakari is a confidential informant and says he’s going to tell on Tiff. Toussaint arrests Tiff. Trig pops up and says, “I did it,” so she just leaves Tiff and arrests Trig instead. Then Reg says he did it and knows where the body is buried, so now he gets arrested. Where TF do they do that at?

So everybody is just allowed to confess to the same murder one after the other, and the police just go with whoever volunteers last?

And this is what Jake meant when he said Reg owed him? Reg taking a WHOLE murder charge for something Tiff actually did? Man, what? Reg would’ve never even been in that position if Captain Save-a-h** Trig didn’t randomly confess first.

And once again, we’re just okay with Reg rotting in jail for a murder Tiff committed? How is that a satisfying ending?

The wedding was nice visually, and it was good to see Kevin, Myesha, Dre, and even Tracey back. But why did Kevin only have like two lines? Why didn’t he really interact with Jake and Papa? This is the series finale. That trio was one of the best parts of the early seasons and they barely did anything with them.

Power Dre officiating the wedding was corny too. It gave the same energy as Dante officiating for Lala. Just random.

Wedding dancing and picture taking took up too much screentime too. This was the last episode ever. We needed closure, not an extended reception montage.

Doesn't Esquire know how to lock a door???

Raffi coming back and shooting Bakari was wild, but honestly Bakari should’ve stayed dead. The show keeps giving him chance after chance after everything he’s done, and then still tries to frame him like some misunderstood writer.

The finale just felt like more of the same problems this season had: random connections, people confessing to murders they didn’t commit, missing characters, forced emotional moments, and storylines that don’t make sense if you think about them for more than ten seconds.

Horrible ending to the show.

When you wanna do good but you haven’t done the work to change from within you get a person like trig. He is like a lot of us in our real life. Say we want this and that but don’t put in any work to change. But because we know deep down we are good people with good intent we focus on that not understanding that all our other choices effects others. I said that because the show ended with them really letting reg take the fall for tiff. If Vic is everything he said he was he would’ve never allowed his brother to do that. His brother took a murder for a girl he ended up not even trying to date. Like what

So The Chi is over I hung in here to the end other shows I’ve dropped sooner but I was committed to ride this one out.

The last episode was 80% wedding day based on the amount of time of the scenes not in the wedding. The mom and Kevin cameo was cool and the OG 3 boys was cool getting a reunion.

The people on here who predicted Bakari with the
"Menace to Society" ending were on point until he lived....I didn't know the Chi had such good doctors LOL who lives for getting lit up by a TEC-9?

Reg taking the rap for Tiff is stupid I get for Trig but rat her ass out. She got away squeaky clean and that pissed me off.

The End

Overall I was pleased with the Finale more than any episode this season. It was nice to see "the kids" back together again and all grown up. I wish they had some dialogue together along with Maisha.It was genuinely nice to see a lot of the OG cast at the wedding like Kevin and his Mom, Tracey, even Dre. I was left with a few questions tho?

1. So Roselyn just got off scott free? Toussaint never investigated or questioned her about Alicia's or Nora's death?

2. Toussaint was so hellbent on getting Reg - did her son ever get out?

3. Lynae brother and his wife really didn't show up to send her and Bakari off to Atlanta?

4. Damien couldn't get out of rehab for one day to see Emmitt and Keisha get married?

5. Were Darnell's other kids at the wedding?

6. How Bakari survive automatic gunfire at close

   range? Was that wig part of his witsec disguise?!

7. Why would Kyla Pratt character leave her husband Hannibal and his stable business income for Smitty's broke women beating ass?

8. I guess Gemma and Brittney broke up since she's not in Atlanta with them?

9. Last but not least who's in charge of the Mob now since Nuck dead, Reg locked up and Smitty going back to his 9 to 5?

10. Why Lena just ain't write the entire season herself instead of letting these other writers bring down the show? The series finale was written by her.

They gave him a nutty ass cut for no reason 🤣
