The South Side of Chicago carries daily danger, and the smallest and simplest of decisions can have life or death consequences for the residents. Life continues as the kids prep for school and their parents shuffle off to work. The young adults of the area are trying to scrape a living for themselves, while the elders sit on their front porches and observe the goings on. The South Side has the potential to crush dreams, and this coming-of-age series focuses on Kevin, a preteen who embraces the normal rites of childhood, Brandon, who makes a leap of faith to succeed in love and life with Jerrika, Emmett, who seeks guidance from his mother, and Ronnie, who is a drifter struggling to be loved. All of them are linked together by sheer coincidence as they seek redemption.

After two seasons of male-centered violence, this season challenges audiences to think of all the ways women, especially Black women, are affected by violence-both directly and indirectly.

"The Chi" continues its riveting storytelling in Season 3 - in spite of (or maybe due to?) the off-camera troubles that have plagued this Showtime series.

i feel like they really messed up killing off jason mitchell character Brandon and even killing Reg was dumb they were my favorite characters smh but that's how it goes i guess i'll still probably finish the season see how it goes but i don't like the direction that the show is going in after the end of the second season

I could barely get thru episode 1 of season 3. They are suppose to be doing a season 4? Bro please Don't! I just started this show and was into it. But than here comes season 3: Episode one was so lame and off the mark, I've lost full interest in continuing to even watch. And that has never happened to me before. Must be the biggest upset, worst story shift I'ver ever witness. How can you occur a fan and lose them in a snap? Be The Chi Season 3... shheesh!

Talk about a show tanking! Damn!! Season 3 was PAINFUL!!!! I'm on Episode 8 and it is dragging! Painful like a root canal. This show has no idea what it is anymore. The pacing is horrible, terrible plot line, dialogue. I don't blame the actors, feels like script and dialogue issues. I understand the producers had a problem with a cast member, and they thought a no-no to recast, but they should have rather than just take this show COMPLETELY in the OPPOSITE direction. Please, season 1 & 2 were winners. The show had heart. Figure it out.
