What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though it suggests potential for greater success, Chicago P.D. is ultimately an old school cop show, content to mimic Hill Street Blues and other classic procedurals.

Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter 09/18/2018
There's enough hardened acting chops to make Chicago P.D. a watchable distraction in the Dick Wolf mode. Go to Full Review Nina Metz Chicago Tribune 09/18/2018
[Chicago PD] looks to portray police work the old school way: tough, dirty and not without personal costs... Is it a touch overheated at times? Yes. But it hits the spot. Go to Full Review Ray Rahman Entertainment Weekly 01/10/2014

It's hard to imagine the series capturing the compelling, can't-watch-just-one magic that makes the Law & Order franchise so marathonable, but it moves just fast enough to keep you from changing the channel in search of an SVU re-run. Go to Full Review Brittany Frederick CBR 10/03/2024

Season 1 is far better than One Chicago fans remember. Go to Full Review Stuart Galbraith DVDTalk.com 09/18/2018
There is a bit more emphasis on story, suspense, and action compared to Chicago Fire,.. though both programs are well above average. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 04/04/2014
3/5
The characters are nice to look at (too nice to be realistic, actually, but oh well), have satisfyingly heroic-yet-complicated backstories, and the action is fast and furious since this show lacks the courtroom aspect of the L&O shows. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Oct 9 Hank is the best character in the show and the action is on point. Tim Treakle See more Ellie G. @funnybunny768 07/08/2025 My 5 year old loves the dead people!! They think it is such a wonderful show!! Now they pretend to kill people, it’s adorable!! See more Peter D @RT04811631 05/07/2023 One of the best tv shows ever. One might have a gut reaction that this is a throwback to yester year when men were Neanderthals. I disagree. The characters are shallow sure but not predictable. Policing is a big deal in the present day, even more so than than a decade or two ago. The ussues are real enough. For those who like CPD watch Justified. Its even better. See more 12/27/2019 This show is fantastic! I highly recommend it! The cast is wonderful! See more 12/21/2019 It is at first a relatively confusing plot but after a while you start to understand it. In the begining you had a hard time sypephising with the characters because of their brutality but when you start to understand why they did the way they did you start to like them more. All in all a good start to a great series See more 12/04/2019 i thing it is amazing See more Read all reviews
