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 .

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.

I'm so sorry this show only ran for one season then was not renewed. It's interesting that the "Chicago" series was created and intertwines. I know Chicago Fire is popular but after watching many episodes I couldn't get interested in it. But here comes Chicago Justice that I really like... and it gets canceled.

I like the actors, the procedural component, the direction, and the courtroom scenes.

It makes perfect sense to tie this show together with Chicago P.D. I suppose it was canceled due to low viewer-ship. Too bad for me.

There are two things that could be changed to make this show better. 1) There is no character development beyond the job. My wife and I always look for the romance behind the scenes. We don't want it to be overwhelming or even more than perhaps 5-10% of the content, but we don't want it to be zero. 2) The story lines are good but they fall apart, almost always. The cases are won in court with inadequate evidence and incomplete development. This, of course, is the crux of the show but it fails.

In spite of #2 above I would have wished for the project to continue with better writers and direction. Not cancelled.

Perhaps the Chicago collective can return with Chicago Law or something similar.

The character played by Carl Weathers almost completely ruins this show. Most of the other characters aren't any better. I had such high hopes for this show, since all the other Chicago series are fantastic, sad to see that Jon Seda moved to this Show. He deserves better than what they are bringing to this show so far.

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.
