    Watched all 10 episodes. Great show! Yes, the dialogue for the children is a bit too adult - but funny. It works, the boy with the glasses is a comedian. And watch out for Birgundi Angel Baker, what a stunning beauty and talent, playing Keisha. Interesting characters, a good mix of modern music, emotional drama and action.

    For a series called The Chi, there’s remarkably little here that lends a sense of specificity or a deeper view into the machinations of Chicago’s South Side--or even where in that expansive area the story is unfolding.

    Showtime’s The Chi floats like a worthy successor to “The Wire” and then descends into the sort of bathos of a Tyler Perry production.

    [The Chi] is well-made and involving and enlivened at every turn by a multigenerational cast whose youngest members are as impressive as the veterans.
