Chicago Justice

I can't understand why the creators decided only on 1 season? Law and order svu is on its 20th season all other law and order shows are finished, so it was set up to have this show continue, maybe they might come back to it again in future, hopefully, its every bit as good a svu and all the other shows .

Chicago Justice was a solid, if short-lived, addition to the One Chicago universe. While it didn't quite reach the emotional or character-driven heights of Fire, P. D., or Med, it brought something unique to the table - a courtroom perspective on the same gritty, morally complex cases that ripple through Chicago's streets.

The standout was Peter Stone, whose intense conviction and courtroom charisma gave the show real weight. Carl Weathers as Mark Jefferies added authority and presence, and the legal drama format gave a new lens to crimes we usually saw through the eyes of cops or first responders.

Visually sharp, with the same Chicago backdrop we love, the show had potential. It tackled thought-provoking issues and offered a grounded look at how justice gets decided - not just on the streets, but in the courts.

It may not have had the emotional pull or homely nostalgia of the other shows, but Chicago Justice still felt like it belonged. With more time, it could've developed deeper connections and character arcs. Unfortunately, we never got to see it truly evolve.

Another quick note i wanna say that I like makes ALL the one Chicago Shows that much more unique and incredible is the city itself. I LOVE the setting with the iconic architecture, cold windy winters, and very beautiful orange Fall. With the iconic skyline almost being like another character. I am SO sick of shows being set AND/OR filmed in L. A/New York. Its incredible to get such a high quality show series set in a place you dont see all that often! Im not even from Chicago but at this point it feels like a 2nd home and I love that about this series!!

Still, for fans of the franchise, it's a worthwhile piece of the One Chicago puzzle - one that adds context, closure, and courtroom heat to the city we've grown to love.

I would like to see TPTB rework this show to make it watchable. I love the other three shows in the One Chicago series and I really wanted to love this newest addition to the franchise. Chicago Fire first got me hooked and then I started watching Chicago PD. Chicago Med probably has the best performances of all, but Chicago Justice has left me wondering who thought THIS would be a good idea. It is not cerebral. It is not emotionally stimulating. The characters are unsympathetic. The dialogue is stilted, clichéd and poorly delivered. I have seen all of the actors in other roles and, for the most part they are better than what we see in this. Jon Seda and Joelle Carter were terrific in previous series, but I can't seem to care about them in this. Carl Weathers really needs to take some acting lessons before he attempts another role. I think the writers or the director must have a problem with Monica Barbaro or why else would they give her nothing but throw-away lines in every episode. Philip Winchester is about as wooden as any actor I can remember. After the colossal failure of Player, why would anyone think he could handle the starring role of a dramatic series.

I just read the other reviewer and I feel like I don't need to repeat their words, but for clarity, I will repeat some of it.

I agree with everything that was said. The lead character, Peter Winchester, is so self-righteous that I am annoyed every episode. Every time his boss makes a decision, he always goes and does the opposite. He listens to no one.

The female lawyer annoys me no end. She also is self-righteous, rude, and does not even listen to Winchester who is her boss.

I don't like the female detective either - Nager. The only likable person is Jon Seda.

Another thing with this show, as the other reviewer said. It was really flawed. Having watched so many other law shows, Law & Order etc, you kind of know how the law should work in some cases. In Chicago Justice, to me they often got it wrong and had me asking "what happened there - what kind of decision was that?" I disagreed with a lot of their final decisions. I wondered if the writers had proper law consultants.

I was expecting this to be cancelled and it seems I was right. I won't miss it and it's vacancy will create space for me to watch something else or take a break.

Sorry. I really wanted to like it as I love law shows, but I couldn't with this one.

This one however, while not being bad exactly, leaves me unengaged! My mind drifts, it just has no riveting content. I find myself missing chunks, but it does not matter. There is nothing to miss.

The shame is, I really was looking forward to it, but have been left wanting.

It's not so much the cast, although Monica Barbaro looks far to young and delicate to be in the position she is.

For me it's the story lines, they are quite honestly feeble. Big wins, were really simple word play, that most of us could manage. The writing quite honestly sucks!

This really could be the only Chicago to fail!
