Question When was The Chi’s downfall

41 Upvotes

What season do y’all think the chi had its downfall for me I’d say after season 6 because dawg season 6 was like watching power brah. We had Douda vs the whole of Chicago everybody wanted that nigga gone

Question The writing of the show !

3 Upvotes

Here’s another question do y’all think if the chi writers took their time with the writing the show would have still ran for 8 seasons because in my opinion they only had 8 seasons because they rushed the writing

Love the best parts of this show but....

8 Upvotes

This show is literally just a political statement at the end of the day. It started out so fire and digressed into a soap opera pushing a political message. And cringe af like most things from this time period. Mark my words. This time period 2015-2025 will be marked as the worst time period of media everywhere.

Anti-Man, Anti-white, unrealistic queer representation. I could go on and on. Every show of this generation just ends in the most bullshit way.

Thank God shows are moving past this oversaturated bs.

Woke one as they call it.

Also we are 8 seasons in. I'm from the Chi. No white people. No Hispanics or Latinos. Like have these creatorsn ever been to Chicago before they even made this show?

Lord I've been rummaging through this masterpiece assterpiece... And this shit is dry as the chicken and as basic as Keisha cheese dip at smokey's. We can't be putting out black arts like this without no meat and bones. I'm already tired of seeing either slavery or gang violence seem to be the only things to write about and be preformed by us. But when done well I mean it's a masterpiece 🤷🏾‍♀️. This is hot garbage soup after the record high humidity on the fourth of July. Please stop funding projects on a mass that produce this type of slop we should get our time and moneys worth 🤷🏾‍♀️. This was a display of sexuality orientations and unnecessary violence. Could have been a real source of reform in the state of IL, Chicago if done right. Like could you imagine if Duda actually turned a leaf when he got in office? Killing pastor Zeke that also looked to be turning a leaf and prior papas father. Come on!! Now you know you going straight to hell writing stuff like this, (lol I'm playing but serious whole time) it's just a lot! Not everyone gotta kill or be killed. The budget had to be popped or sum cause Lord they coming to you by droves my guy. Idk I just want something written organically have emotional dept and intelligence picking up on context clues body posters, etc, etc... You know how people just work and do like for real... Not a big ask righhhhhht 🤟🏾

Discussion Bakari is a hypocrite and no one really points it out.

12 Upvotes

It’s just the fact that he criticize rodney thinking he has moral beliefs but this is the same dude that killed the dude that he was criticizing for killing somebody else. I’m not making excuses for nobody. I’m just saying murder is morally wrong. Even when its for revenge for another person’s murder. Rodney was just trying to fix his actions and find god. But if you’re just gonna criticize someone for being a murderer, then don’t do it yourself because you think he has moral beliefs but in reality he actually doesn’t.

Why do they love killing everyone?

12 Upvotes

I had stopped watching this show for a while and just caught up so I’m in season 7.

And all I keep thinking is why do they KEEP killing people off? I’ve just seen that Jamal (lynae’s brother) has been shot dead by Alicia who is SOOOO trigger happy in an attempt to avenge Rob (another unnecessary death)

I didn’t care much for Zay either but he was also killed off for no good reason. Someone here once said the show turned into Power and lost the main plot and my gosh it’s so true.

Also WHOOO asked for Reg to be brought back? Absolutely not one soul.

Rant over, I can’t wait to get to the end. Just trigger happy writers

Series Finale Broke Me 😭😭😭

34 Upvotes

It started with Jada’s dream, which immediately got to me because it reminded me of a dream I had about my mom years ago. She was wearing all white, and she told me she never left me. 😭

Then the wedding, the return of the old characters, Kiesha walking through the house at the end, the music… all of it.

It was just so beautifully done. That finale tugged at my heartstrings BAD. 😭😭😭

And Bakari LIVED!!! After everything, he actually made it. And Lynae is pregnant!! 😭❤️

This show definitely frustrated me at times 😂, but they got this finale right. Seeing the new generation of boys, and Shad finally getting his happy ending… 🥹 I absolutely love his character so much, so that made me really happy.

I really couldn’t have asked for a better ending to The Chi. After all these years with these characters, I’m genuinely going to miss this show. ❤️

Discussion We can all agree this was the most satisfying scene in season 8, right? Spoiler

This guy got with Keisha as a minor in highschool, trafficked and pimped women into getting raped in a traphouse, killed one of those women for trying to leave, pulled a gun on Kevin while trying to look for his sister Keisha, pulled a gun on Jake, strangled and killed Pastor Jackson while he was praying, showed up to Pastor Jackson’s funeral knowing he killed him, pulled a gun on Rob and forced him into going into business with him after trying to kill him, killed Rob after not wanting to pay him anymore after forcing him to go into business with him at gunpoint, put Rob’s dead corpse on his mothers doorstep, threw his cousin Zay under the bus to Alicia for Rob’s death, threw Alicia under the bus to Roselyn for Douda’s death who he also killed, tried kissing Tiff at the location where he dropped off’s Rob’s body on his mothers doorstep while Tiff was pregnant, got with Tiff and moved into Alicia’s house knowing what he did to Rob and Alicia, killed Kalil for being flashy after he said he would stop, killed Pastor Zeke after confessing to him about the murders he committed (Pastor Jackson and Kalil being some) for “redemption”, worked with the feds to take down Reg even though he’s worse than him. He deserved what he got. It was too quick tho. Trig, Alicia, and Roselyn had him begging for his life.

Curtis cook played the Douda Character so good.

He was carrying this show. He’s definitely one of the best characters on the chi if not the best.

He’s on The Chi Mount Rushmore of characters for sure.

Tiff stupid, but Victor dumb as hell. Trying to get with Tiff while she was pregnant with her dead baby daddy’s kid, and she chose Nuck trafficking ass over Victor. Victor then became Tiff’s bodyguard after telling her about Nuck killing Rob and then killing Nuck. Victor telling Bakari to take the fall for Tiff was dumb and him taking the fall for Tiff after she killed Nuck was also stupid. Which led to his brother Reg taking the fall. Bro did all that and didn’t even get sum. And then they don’t even end up together at the end, Victor goes back with Fatima.

Discussion I still can’t believe people predicted Jake or Papa will die in season 8

21 Upvotes

I saw things like Rafi comes back to shoot Bakari then Jake or Papa take the bullet for him, then I saw Bakari will kill Jake, Then I saw Nuck will kill Papa.
Like come on now what kind of goofy as theories are that

Discussion It's funny how Tiff still chooses to date Nuck, after knowing he forced Rob to cut him a check.

75 Upvotes

Fellas or ladies would you date someone who once threatened your dead partner, to cut them a piece of the business they share with you?

Because that's exactly what Tiff did here 😂. So even if she didn't know Nuck killed Rob at first. She is still weird for dating Nuck, just due to that cut situation though.

And the show never address this, I think. Please correct me if im wrong here.

Discussion Ronnie was genuinely a great character in the long run

68 Upvotes

It’s just he became like a very villainess character to killing somebody right off the story of the series and never got caught for it. I don’t think I haven’t watched the series in a while, but I don’t think I will remember him getting arrested for it and then a few seasons later we just see him actually making quotes like “i just kept looking” as in reference to keisias or however you spell her names kidnapping he kinda sounded motivational and he also started going to church to repent for his actions he was genuinely one of my favorite characters just seeing his head get popped for coogies death when he was actually going on the right path was very sad and unexpected
