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.

Q'tyashia A @RT00081637 Jul 4 The Chi, since it's inception, has been captivating. The writers and directors have a unique ability to write strong dialogue that represents what is unspoken, addressed from many angles to provide perspective, and subsequently, extremely relatable. It invokes authentic emotions in its viewers. The cinematography is fresh and evolving. Nostalgia with the selection of actors/actresses, hommage given to trailblazers, the fact that the writing continues to catch me off guard - all around masterpiece. I'm so upset with the last episode, but only because the connection to the characters has me so invested, I had to take a moment to write this review. Great body of work and excited to see what it continues to offer. See more Stephen C @bob25009 May 26 The show's best season. See more Tashea s @RT96116632 May 19 Episode was fire! So many emotions while watching ! See more Read all reviews
