r/ChicagoPD

Watching CPD in USA just renewed my anger about what they are doing to Atwater. Hard to watch knowing my fav won’t be there anymore.

Okay, here goes. They retire to a nice small southern town. Trudy becomes the sheriff. Mounch joined the local volunteer fire company and tries to bring them up to snuff, and how he butts heads with the young Chief.

The stories revolve around their adventures dealing with small town life and their daily adventures with the town folk. Maybe even adopting a teenager.

What do you think?

What a huge disappointment to hear about LaRoyce Hawkins (Kevin Atwater) leaving Chicago PD in Season 14. After 13 years of watching his character grow—especially now that he finally has a stable relationship and a baby on the way—they decide to write him out of the Intelligence Unit. I understand the budget cuts, but it’s a massive mistake to get rid of the veteran actors who hold the show together just to replace them with new faces under the same mold.

On the other hand, Arianne Mendi's character feels flat and disconnected from the team; that storyline with her sister should have wrapped up by now. I would have preferred a thousand times over for them to let her go instead so they could keep Hawkins for another season. If Atwater leaves, Chicago PD loses its entire essence. They just lost a viewer with me. 💔❌ #ChicagoPD

EDIT: I meant reaction to S13 !

Literally what I said in the title. I posted a couple months ago about how one of our biggest complaints was the lack of ALL the characters being in every episode AND contributing equally to the story (also that centrics were not really the greatest idea for this season). I genuinely think that since many of us said that, they decided to take it into consideration and completely get rid of one of the most highest paid actors in the show. They knew they couldn’t get rid of Paddy/Marina bc of them being the most popular couple on the show rn —Burzek. Obvi not Trudy/Torres/Imani bc they are the lower paid actors. And definitely not Voight since he produces the show and quite literally IS the show. So that left them with Atwater. And it truly aggravates me since he has been sidelined practically his entire career on CPD and deserved so much more. But unfortunately they already made the decision and now all we can hope for is that he gets more projects that we can ALL support him on ❤️ And LAROYCE, if for some reason you are reading random Reddit posts, WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH 😭😭😭 Truly one of the biggest losses of CPD.

what do you guys think? why is he so... violent? I mena, the culprits deserve it but what may be the real reason??

heres a joke- voights fav pasttime- going for a drive with a criminal and coming back alone

ALL RIGHT

So I just finished watching a rerun of this episode on NBC about an less than an hour ago (I'm in a PST area so it may be 3 AM for yall rn) but this episode was FREAKING FANTASTIC. The plot with Intelligence narrowing down Raymond Bell was so well written; I do agree with some people that Imani shouldn't have went into that house without backup and more when she almost had the entire unit write statements about her off-book break-in by order of Commander Devlin, but Voight handled it. And the way that Imani was so caring about Julie was honestly so sweet but I mean she still hadn't found her sister Shari yet so it made sense why she didn't want Julie to be potentially lost forever too.

So what I was gonna mainly talk to you guys about is that ending scene with Voight and Commander Devlin. That scene was very well made and showed that at some capacity Voight has changed. I was actually somewhat surprised that Voight was able to tell Devlin the truth about his childhood in such a calm manner. But the cherry on top for me was when Voight told him about his father's legacy and showed Devlin his badge holder and told him "If I didn't feel my father near me right now, you wouldn't live through this day." and what shocked me so much is that literally the moment he said that, the NBC logo disappeared from the bottom left corner of the screen. After the episode cut to Dick Wolf's credit, the only thing I felt was joy and happiness as crazy as that sounds 😂 but I also was repeating to myself "That was FUCKING incredible" like 30 or more times.

Disclaimer: (I did watch the episode when it first premiered but I wasn't paying full attention to the episode at the time)

Anyways, I just think that this episode and that ending scene overall, was very well made. You guys can disagree with me as much as you want and say this was a horrible episode but I actually think this was one of the best Season 13 episodes of all time imo, of course along with all the Voight centric episodes of this season.

Let me know what you guys think about this. But again, this episode was fire imo 🔥

Am I seeing things or is the new chief roman with a gray wig on?

Am I the only one that can not stand Hanks face smacking? Rather see a punch thrown or something .. just curious

Is it just me, or does anybody feel like Jesse Lee Soffer, who plays both Jay Halstead (CPD) and Wes Mitchell (FBI: International), shouldn't have had two different characters? They're both in the same universe, and CPD has crossed over with FBI once. It would've made much more sense, and then we could've seen Jay after his divorce from Hailey. BUT! Don't get me wrong, I love his characters on both shows. Just a thought

Am I the only one who can't stand Imani's character and give zero shits about her sister who has been missing for 22 years. I am one episode away from finishing the last season and forcing myself to watch it because of this annoying storyline.

I was just wondering if there was another type of show that would fit with the shows more?

A law procedural show doesn't exactly gel the greatest with the other shows, but when I try to think of any other ideas, a lawyer show is the best I can come up with.

Anybody have any other ideas? Thanks!
