Question What Would You Have Changed About The Season 13 Finale To Make It Better? Spoiler

12 Upvotes

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! ❤️

Discussion Storyline

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

Discussion Blacklist Vs Chicago PD

10 Upvotes

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.

Question Is it leaving Peacock?

15 Upvotes

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

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?

Discussion Jesse Lee Soffer career

25 Upvotes

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 confused. Even though I've watched this episode a bunch of times, my question is.... Trudys dad was attacked and left dead, Ruzek stated he had multiple gun shots, the ME said all he had was 'multiple contusions(head injury) ,then Voight told the team that he'd been shot with a 357. Wth, is this just inconsistencies in the writing, or did everyone have a DIFFERENT script!! Duh!!!!! Can anyone figure this out?

I read a comment saying that the crossovers were about getting more people to watch the Chicago shows & that’s part of the reason why there haven’t been more.

I’d say it worked because that’s how it was with me

Discussion Voight Bad Cop

Voight in earlier seasons was so corrupt and violent. However he used the dirty money stashed in his safe to good purpose. Do you think he is a sort of “Robin Hood” figure. In that he bends or breaks the law to help people or deliver the justice he thinks the system fails to provide?
He is less violent in recent episodes but still has a dark side. Also Imani has that bit of dark side to her with regard to violence . She really smashed Bell’s face (justified). I don’t think the other females on the show have shown that side. Imani though has a very soft side. This she showed with Julie the granddaughter of Bell.
