The Chi
The show
A relevant, timely and distinctive coming-of-age story following a half dozen interrelated characters in the South Side of Chicago. The story centers on Brandon, an ambitious and confident young man who dreams about opening a restaurant of his own someday, but is conflicted between the promise of a new life and his responsibility to his mother and teenage brother back in the South Side.
The Real Review
This show's a real split, with people torn on where the story has gone over eight seasons. The acting gets consistent praise and the concept feels fresh, but the plot itself loses a lot of viewers, with many finding it messy or disappointing. A vocal few still find it very funny. Most of the cast gets criticized, though the character Emmett remains a clear fan favorite.
