This is a safe place you can admit it was awful

You think these brothas are compromised or infiltrated?

I remember the first 2 seasons of the Chi were dope then season 3 came and it was terrible.

I can't think of a good reason why this show fell off in such a short period of time I guess Episode 2 was my favorite this season but that's not saying much, there were no standout episodes. It was all mid throughout the season. I haven't rewatched one episode yet and doubt I will for a while.

I thought this season had a lot of funny moments and episodes. Turner/Goodnight continue to be the highlights.

I just binged this. Very mid season overall.

The finale was pretty bad. Who thought that was a good idea? Also they over do it with the dikk riding of celebrities when they make guest appearances. The Cordae shyt was awful

Finale was terrible.

Cordae made no sense at all, dude's not even from Chicago so it's not like they were trying to show a local guy some love.

The South Suburbs episode could have been so much better. Just fell flat. And I didn't really get the rich white family depiction specifically for THAT area.

Could have really did a lot better than that. Out of all the suburbs in the area, that was a miss for what they came up with. They open with a shot of Rich City Skate and I'm like yoooo, then I watch the rest of the episode and I'm like...

Outside of the first shot and the first scene where Turner and her sister were walking in the subdivision, it being in the south burbs didn't play into the episode at all.

Like you said, the white family didn't match out there at all.

 

[Ethnic Cleansing]

Just started trying to Binge it. I've hit a wall at Episode 5

 

[Ghost Utmost]

I still like it but I'm only a few eps in.

I feel that it's pivoting to more of a sketch type show with bizarre angles than strictly a "hood" show.

 

[Stir Fry]

This season has been way too dense with the jokes. They need to let them breathe a lil bit. It's actually felt like a chore turning it on lately. Not because it's bad, but I just get exhausted watching these days

I think I read somewhere that Turner look the lead on a lot of the writing this season which may explain the pivot.

It still makes me laugh, but yeah I feel you haha

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

First few episodes of season 3 were good then it became a chore as others stated. The speed dating episode was the highlight of the second half of the season.

They got away from what they do best. Basically like if Shaq decided to start shooting 3s.

'South Side' Actor Chandra Russell On Why Black Women Are The Funniest People Alive

The actor, who plays Officer Turner, shared how the HBO Max series shines a light on hair insecurities, Chicago hood staples and the magic of Black women comedians.

The third season of “South Side” premiered on HBO Max on Dec. 8, and Russell said she’s especially proud of what the show was able to accomplish this season. And for good reason.

“This was the first year where the women in the room ― and all of our women are Black women ― but the women writers, we outweighed the men, which is so rare in a writer’s room,” said Russell, who also writes for the show. “And to be in a room where people respect our voices, and where we really get to make changes, and be in charge of the women narratives.”
Russell said this season delves deeper into the stories of the women of the series. She created Turner and has a routine she follows to get into character.

“Before we shoot, I have to eat a Peppermint Pickle, which is a Chicago hood snack,” she said. “I have to clean my house very thoroughly. I know it’s very strange, but Officer Turner is a very clean person. So, I have to scrub everything down to just get in the proper spirit.”
For Russell, who’s also working on the comedy series “Black Girl Magic” with Gabrielle Union, Turner has been a place to rest her insecurities and find healing through comedy. Her writing is a relatable space for other Black women to see their stories told.
Bashir Salahuddin, the show’s executive producer and Russell’s husband, said it was important this season to follow the lead of the women in the room. He sang Russell’s praises for the care she puts into not only her character, but all of the characters.
“Obviously, she really created her own character. I mean we had some ideas, but ultimately she’s the one who really figured out what that character has to be, and that’s why I think why it’s so good and so resonant,” said Salahuddin, who plays Officer Goodnight. “But she’s not saving that passion just for her own character. So whenever she’s writing for Diallo [Riddle’s] character, my character, other people’s character, it’s that same level of compassion and commitment that she has for her own character.”

I think this is why this season felt all over the place lol

Idk what this post was supposed to make me feel but she shouldn't try to lump in all black women into this. They arent responsible for the mess that was season 3
