My Review On The Overall Series & Final Episode 🤷🏾♂️
The Chi Series Finale Review 🎬
Alright, now that The Chi has ended let’s get down to the meat & potatoes of why us fans are so divided starting with the positives of course:
-I thought this last episode was decent, fitting for some of the characters very emotional and sentimental, the wedding was nice with the obvious return of past characters which was good to see (even though dialogue was minimum), and the soundtrack was adequately dope in itself. However, as a season overall this was a bit disappointing & mediocre and being a supporter since day one I would’ve expected somewhat of a established wrap up than a complimentary & predictable conclusion that still feels incomplete, the cast did an amazing job from start to finish with not only relatable distinctions but also engaging attributes.
Going into my negatives as a whole series there were inconsistent writing with a portion of the storylines that either went nowhere and left unanswered or flat out ignored like nothing happened; the new addition of characters felt underused & baseless though with the exception of a few there wasn’t much substance besides a reputable face. Having the chance to be original there were too many cliches of classic films referenced and even played out to an extent that took away the authenticity of how this show could’ve been. Lastly, the constant discussions regarding sexualities unnecessarily had no value or logic to the allegory of the show, understandably while representation of the LGBTQ community was evident the narrative seemed excessively pushed and inorganic in its intent in direction.
In the end The Chi had an admirable run with the first two seasons being the strongest of the series before pivoting toward irrational, convoluted plot structures yet entertainingly conducive to keep me engaged throughout eight seasons. Season 8 rates at 6 out of 10 w/ 3.5 out of 5 ⭐️s not bad but disjointed, nonetheless, this show will still be a favorite of mine.
