The Chi (Showtime) Official Season 1 Thread

[Rollie Forbes]

Yeah you did breh I rewatched the show from season 1 after the first episode of season 2 came out so it's still fresh in my memory. Dude was the worse character from a morality perspective but him killing the crooked cop and Trice who killed his son made it seem like he was the good guy.

Playing devil's advocate though, did being a villain make Q a screw up? Every plan he put in motion came to fruition. He didn't take any major losses during the first season.

This show is just good enough for me to stick with it, but I'll say it's not the brilliant drama the initial trailers touted it to be last year.

I'm cool with it. I really didn't have big expectations to begin with. It's entertaining though. Flawed, but entertaining.

The fact that the show is taped in the summer definitely helps its ambience and makes it more aesthetically pleasing.

ITS NOT GREAT BUT
ITS BETTER THAN MOST OF
THE BLACK THEMED TV WE HAVE.

true

He is the biggest screw up imo just based off him raping a woman then having a child when she was a teen, not being there for his child cause he escaped to Cuba and then being old as fukk and still having to be in the streets period.

All these Black relationship scandal dramas are tired and redundant af. All cut from the same cloth. Now there is another one with Lauren London.

Now there is another one with Lauren London.

she cant act for shyt


i was just saying i'm tired of these relationship themed shows

 

[Guvnor]

This last episode was crazy. It's dope to see Emmit help Brandon step his shyt up to the next level lol. That explains why they had his charcter so fukked up about technology and shyt in episode 1 and couldn't accept credit cards. It was so Emmit could come and help him.

I know they mentioned Emmit facetiming his baby mama and kids in episode 3 or something but I didn't expect they would actually show him on the phone with his baby moms lol. When it comes to that black female cop I can't believe she is dirty, that shyt let me down.

Also damn, it was Kevin's moms becoming a les that split him from his father. That's fukked up and probably a familiar story for a lot of those kids with lesbian mothers.

The last episode was pretty good...probably the best one so far

I like Emmit and Brandons chemistry

Kevins storyline has always been the best part of the show to me and it keeps getting better

I had alot of criticism for the show in season 1 and the start of this season but the past couple episodes have been good

Still don’t like Ronnie though

They should just kill him off

Every scene hes in is bathroom break status

Seems as if they are trying to get us to feel sorry for him....which I clearly don't

Yeah I don’t know what the fukk they’re trying to do with his character

Dude murdered a kid...a good kid at that

No one will ever feel sympathy for him

They would’ve been better off leaving him in prison and writing the character off the show

I got a feeling he gonna end up fukking Emmits mom which will lead to him beefing with Emmit and Jason

Yep. He's already running game right now with the "look at how I am with kids" routine with the fire hydrant.

Plus, she was ready to give up the bag to her baby daddy whom she had written off for two decades. She ready.

 

[Motife43]

Yeah this was a good episode fa sho

Douda prolly my favorite character now, he gives me Gus Fring vibes. Looks like an unassuming community business man, but in reality he a ruthless street dude

 

[CHICAGO]

KEVIN SISTER PRETTY AS fukk.

THEY REALLY fukkED UP BRINGING RONNIE BACK THIS SEASON.

More Stringer Bell-like to me. I suspected he wasn't the top guy anyway considering the way he told Reg "This is above your paygrade".

 

[tremonthustler1]

Finally caught up.

Ronnie doesn’t need to be on this show. I feel like I’m following a random old wino who doesn’t serve a purpose.


I actually wanna see more of Reg and his gang and how they gotta deal with the older heads
