I had great hopes that this series would capture true Chicago. It feels more like a more technical Chi-Raq. Gang leaders are far in the streets because all the leaders are locked. There's basically crack babies-turned teenagers- being raised by grandma because the parents are absent. There is no sight of that in this series. The writers randomly throw street names in the script to places that don't exist. Like 63rd and Yates. That's the lake. I wish the chi would consult with people who live in the Chicagoland area before they start season 3 or at least get writers who are from here to write episodes. It makes more sense and that would restore my hope in the show.
