Chicago P.D.: Season 5

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Throughout most of Chicago PD Season 5 Episode 1, Voight tried to assure us that it was time for Lindsay to move on and that we had to make peace with it.

But how do we make peace with something that we’re not ready to accept? Lindsay’s shoes can never be filled, no matter how hard they try.

I also don’t necessarily agree with Voight considering I found her departure to be super abrupt. And since Sophia Bush herself never addressed it, I couldn’t wait to see how the series would handle the elephant in the room.

“Chicago P.D.” returned for its fifth season this week, bearing out what new show runner Rick Eid had promised ahead of the premiere: A closer focus on real world storylines — “certainly as it relates to what’s going on with the police department.”

The series still has a tendency to stack the deck in favor of its characters, though — what if the show had the courage of its convictions, I always wonder — and too much here feels disingenuous precisely because of that slippery-ness.

So, here we go: The meat of Wednesday’s episode (“Reform”) concerned a gun deal gone wrong and the police shootout that ensued. Innocent people were caught in the crossfire, including a little girl who later dies at the hospital. Making matters worse, the bullet that killed her came not from a bad guy’s gun, but that of an officer.

On the surface, “Chicago P.D.” is going all-in. An independent auditor will be reviewing the situation, the top brass informs Sgt. Voight (Jason Beghe, as the unit’s supervisor), a requirement of the new “reform package” (Translation: Guess the show is hinting at that damning report issued by the Department of Justice last year.)

About that independent auditor: He’s a cop — former? current? hard tell — which is extremely dubious. Back in the real world, the newly formed Civilian Office of Police Accountability is led by a former federal prosecutor. Imagine the outcry if she surrounded herself with current or former ranking officers with very non-independent ties to the police department. But hey, that’s TV.
