Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Excellent, a Must See

An unexpected masterpiece

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Living in a somewhat rough urban neighborhood, I found the portrayal of the characters and situations in this show to be extremely authentic. The character development, storylines, dialogue and music selections were all on point. Some situations were maybe a tad on the dramatic side, but this is a scripted TV drama after all. I was pleased that one of the child actors provided some comic relief in later episodes to balance out the darkness and violence in earlier episodes. The finale was perfectly directed, and I cannot wait for a new season! Fans of The Wire, Atlanta and even The Sopranos will probably enjoy this show.

A well made drama, with a perspective from all points of view. A show not like any I have viewed!

The Chi is nothing to look past. From incredible character development to an intense plot this series will keep you on your toes. It's very hard to find an authentic series but this one is just that. Look no more The Chi has arrived.

Love the scenes of Chicago. I am guessing it's the southside. I've never seen the inner city of Chi Town. It tells the story of how it is and how one person's actions affects others. I like the humor mixed with the tough life. It's very real.
