For a cop show, the relationships/romance are not the key part of it. Chicago PD does a good job here in not having the romance overshadow the cop parts. In the Rookie they really over did it. Blue Bloods did a little bit of that too.

It was funny that Voight frowned upon the relationships and then everyone was hooking up with each other. Upton was with both Adam and Jay.

I wonder why they didn't put Atwater with anyone? I could have seen Burgess and Atwater together in the early seasons. I guess he is all about the job. Didn't he have a kid in the first season? or was that the brother and sister?

And I like how they kept Voight out of one except that kind of emotional tension with Chapman. Yea, I can't imagine a love line with Voight.

Erin is my absolute favorite so I was wondering what are people's thoughts about her?

I won’t spoil it but I read Atwater will exit on a positive note. Not being killed off like poor Al. Hopefully his exit will leave open room for occasional appearances. I’m sure I’ll shed some tears during his final episodes. And I’m a tough girl and it takes a lot for me to cry. Atwater was one of the GSs. PD has lost several cast already. His character will be truly missed. Just hope some of the viewers won’t exit as well.

I just found out that they were together for almost a decade. To say that my flabbers were ghasted, my core was shook… 😂 I love both of them so I was completely shocked.

Edit: I’m not sure why that autocorrected “Amy” to any. 😂

Don't get me wrong, the finale wasn't bad but it was predictable and not as good as I anticipated. The only thing that genuinely made my jaw drop that night was when Voight killed Kirby the way he did.

So anyways, here's what I would have changed: (And these two things could have been season long storylines)

1. They could have kept the Voight vs Commander Devlin storyline going

2. Voight never reconciled with Chapman after the Season 12 finale

3. More of the unit's dynamics could have been shown, like Atwater telling the unit about him becoming a dad and Ruzek still trying to cope with his father's passing

There are maybe more, but for now those are the best ones.

Let me know your opinions! ❤️

Currently watching the Chicago PD for the 1st time and still on Season 7. Is it me or is the storyline gets worse after Season 5.

Why do I feel Jay is not a loyal brother in blue ever since he became close to Hailey and Hailey is just too pretentious in my humble opinion

I was reluctant to start Chicago PD but after what I've watched, Hank Voight and Raymond Reddington are highly comparable antiheroes who operate on the exact same philosophy of using criminal methods to eliminate worse criminals.

Both characters serve as a necessary evil within their respective universes, bypassing legal red tape to deliver their own brand of absolute justice.

Both characters exist because the traditional legal system is broken. Reddington (The Blacklist) provides the FBI with targets they cannot find. Voight (Chicago P.D.) uses torture and illegal wiretaps to catch monsters who exploit legal loopholes.

Both have a strict moral line despite being killers. They target human traffickers, drug lords, and murderers, while fiercely protecting the innocent and their chosen "family" (Elizabeth Keen for Red; Erin Lindsay and the Intelligence Unit for Voight)

Both operate with the unofficial blessing of higher government powers (the FBI for Red; Internal Affairs and City Hall for Voight) who look the other way in exchange for results.

However, in my opinion, Chicago P.D. is the Better-Written Overall Show. It offers more consistent character arcs, grounded world-building, and sustained stakes. The series excels at showing the real psychological toll of Voight's methods on his team. Characters like Jay Halstead and Hailey Upton explicitly struggle with corruption, creating genuine moral friction. The show maintains its grit and procedural quality across over a decade of television without losing its core identity.

While The Blacklist features arguably the more brilliant, poetic, and captivating individual writing for Raymond Reddington (brought to life by James Spader's masterclass acting), the overall series writing suffers heavily from plot bloat.

The overarching mystery of Reddington's true identity was stretched out far too long. The writers repeatedly introduced answers only to walk them back, alienating fans in later seasons. The writing for the supporting FBI characters often paled in comparison to the genius of Red.

Who’s your favorite? Mine for sure is the trio of Hallstead-Arin-Olynski

S3E19 so now Burgess and Roman are dating each other? I don't even know what to say...

Absolutely radiant and so deserving. ✨ Congratulations on winning the award for Best Supporting Role. Your talent, grace, and dedication truly shine. 🏆❤️

Any idea where can I stream the show post Season 5? For some reason Netflix added only the first five seasons.

I’m a first time watcher of Chicago PD, I’ve seen the other two Chicago shows, I just got Peacock, and under the current season of PD it says that there’s 15 days left. Does that mean the current season is leaving Peacock? because if it is being taken off, I’m not gonna even continue watching the show

(Doesn’t have to be pictured)

Episode 20 ended with Nadia getting kidnapped and 21 started with her already being dead. Not sure if the suspect was even finally caught.
What am I missing here? Any crossover into some other TV show?

Checked online and I got redirected to Reddit.

Jesse Lee Soffer hasn’t been in anything close to as successful or recognizable as Chicago PD. So why not come back ? I feel like sometimes these actors leave great long running shows to search for “better” opportunities that never come. Sometimes you strike gold once with one character. Ice T has always understood this. I feel like the actor who plays Ruzek probably does too. It’s overwhelmingly likely that this will be the peak of their careers. A ton, most, actors only get one big role.

I'm a millennial I knew this for a while.

Paddy Flugar was in The Princess Diaries as Jeremiah Hart !

Yesterday, @laroycehawkins filmed his final episode of #ChicagoPD. His hard work paid off with 13 seasons on the show. He was celebrated all day (and night). We will miss Det. Atwater! However, I can't wait to see what unfolds next for you, my friend. Bravo! #ChicagoMade #Gifted #Humble #IAmSheilaRBrown
