    Could have been decent, but as it turns out far too racist "give me something for nothing" "the world owes me the world" "we're #1, but we certainly don't want to work for it" crap. Basically, every major city ghettoland trash USA circa 2014 reality.

    The new show about another troubled city and its leader looks more like an ad campaign than a documentary.

    Chicagoland is a mosaic, as befits its many-cultured metropolitan setting--and for better or worse. The series moves fast to get it all in, muscling you with its Big Shoulders and too-present hip-hoppy soundtrack, giving you just enough of its characters--including kids and cops, a doctor, a rapper, a restaurateur--to make you feel you should be getting more of them.

    This is pretty much how it goes on Chicagoland: Emmanuel against everyone else.
