61st Street

To me, one of the best written tv shows in a while. I am picky when it comes to the acting, and for me, the acting is very realistic! I give it 9/10 stars!

The people writing negative reviews didn't grow up in the areas or conditions the series is documenting. If you're from the hood then you know all of this is true and happens far too often. Giving something a bad review when you have no real clue about the content is ridiculous. If you think cops are so good then ask yourself why do police officers call each other "rats". I know many police officers and real life and this story is portraying what actually goes on behind the piercing walls. Bad guys do bad things and other officers either participate or turn a blind eye. If you're that blind to police corruption just go do some research and find out how rampant it is. Just like politicians it's going on in every major city no question.

Usually, when a new show gets released, I try the pilot just to be sure I wanna see more. Did that with this show and wasted no time getting the second. So far, just two episodes have been released and after taking a chance on them, I found myself wholly engrossed. Pretty addictive if you ask me. Acting is good, story (so far) is good. Literally can't wait to see the rest of it.

I am really enjoying this TV series. It's definitely binge watching material. I watched all 5 of the current episodes in the same night. With some irritation that there wasn't more episodes to watch. I'm enjoying the actors and their storyline. Great writing!!!!.

I think the people who low-balled the rating, never lived in Chicago or, if they did, never went near Englewood, Garfield Park, or Roseland. Their 'trip through the hood' was speeding down the Dan Ryan Expressway on the way to Olympia Fields. This show, like Englewood, is real...and it has been for too many years. I write this as a middle-aged white woman, who was born-and-raised on the South Side. I worked at 26th & Cal (Cook County Court) for years, and unfortunately this show is as realistic as it gets. It's dirty, gritty and hard to watch. BUT DO NOT TURN IT OFF. I've seen cops, clerks and judges take payoffs practically in the open. Their are good and fair public servants; but there are a lot of good and honest people. This show follows it all and hopefully can initiate change.
