Same old garbage
11 May 2022
If you are going to set a crime story in contemporary Chicago, how can you ignore the hundreds of homicides and shootings in the city? The producers of this show apparently can, focusing on corrupt cops railroading an innocent young black man. If the producers actually cared to portray a realistic show, the young man would be trying to protect himself from the gang elements that are shooting up the city rather than the cliched bad cops and corrupt judges.

Courtney B. Vance plays a public defender fighting for social justice, a role he has played in various guises throughout his career. Vance could play this role in his sleep as he seems to do in this series.

I had hoped this series would be realistic and deal with the issues destroying the city. Sadly, it is just the same old garbage.
