    I had not heard that The Chicago Code was cancelled.....I have been diligently on the look out for trailers that the show will be starting up again....how completely disappointing to finally have a different type of "police show" that took place in a "new" city....not NY, LV, FL, or CA!!!!! There are so many viewers that are so sick of all the "reality" shows that we all know are not truly reality and where there's some reference to believable story line, given the history of Chicago....SO...SO...SO DISAPPOINTED with Fox....quite frankly the only network I do not watch due to poor programming...this was the only show that kept my interest...their loss more than mine!moreless

    I rarely watch TV--could be because must shows are junk. I've been searching for the return of Chicago Code and now find one of the few decent shows has been cancelled. What is wrong with FOX??? Isn't anyone else tired of CSI, Law and Order, etc. that go on year after year? Wake up FOX and put CHICAGO CODE back on.

  • Interesting storyline

    In my opinion, The Chicago Code started a bit slow. It is understandable because it is still giving a lot of backgrounds of the characters. For example, the character of Liam as an undercover cop or the character of Alderman Gibbons as a very corrupt official. But after a few episode it picked up. The story line of corruption is very interesting and the method of how they want to bring this down is something to look forward to in every episode. At first, it was because of Jennifer Beals and Jason Clarke that I was watching this but as the story picked up, I watch because the series is nicely done. The story line, the acting, the editing and directing are all good. I hope FOX will reconsider renewing the series for another season. This is a good tv series.moreless

  • Every season a network makes a bone head move & cancels a show that I loved. Well this season one of those moves belongs to FOX with The Chicago Code. This crime drama has heart & grit. FOX irritates me; I wish they had given it another season.moreless

    Yes; I realize there are a lot of police drama's being made right now, but this one had a little something extra. I liked that they weren't only looking out on the streets for crimes and corruption. I liked that there was a woman in charge of it all, and I liked most of the story lines. How this show was not noticed by more people is beyond me.
    I had never seen Jason Clarke (Jarek Wysocki) in anything before, but there was something about him that helped make his character look wounded but honorable. I liked the fact that the audience believed that Clarke's character would push as far has he had to (even if it meant breaking a few rules) to get the job done. I also loved that his private life was a mess. I was secretly hoping that he would reunite with his exwife and kick the fianc to the curb.
    Matt Lauria (Caleb Evers) was the yin to Jason Clarke's yang. I loved that the "rookie" detective had to keep close reigns on the wild stallion that was Jarek Wysocki. Lauria was so believable. He looked the part of the idealistic new detective that believes that there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Lauria's light heartedness helped counter Clarkes demoned filled character. Jennifer Beals played her character (Teresa Colvin) beautifully. In the first few episodes when her body guard got killed, I could see her pain. Beals is a great actress, and I hope to see a lot more of her in the future. Beals made her character come to life, and that is what an actor needs to do to make me love a show.
    There was very little about this show that I didn't like, but I didn't like Devin Kelley as Vonda Wysocki. I felt like her character just was missing something. The only episode I felt real emotion coming from her was after Colvin's driver died. When she was sitting in the car with her partner, and she said she wasn't afraid of dying but she was afraid of him dying. I felt her pain in that one scene. I really wish she could have summoned that kind of passion on a daily basis.
    I'm not going to give my opinion of every character, but I do want to mention Todd Williams (Isaac Joiner), Billy Lush (Liam Hennessey), and Delroy Lindo (Alderman Ronin Gibbons). I love Todd Williams. I was probably biased coming into the show because I loved him on In Plain Sight. He is a great actor, and he makes every scene he was in believable. He even helped Kelley look better. I actually have firsthand knowledge of people who go undercover to catch the bad guys, because my brother did that for about 10 years. Lush made me believe his character, and since I have had that experience one on one that is had to do. Good job Lush! Last but definitely not least we come to Delroy Lindo. What can I say? He played the part of the bad guy we love to hate perfectly. His character managed to be into everything, The Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of the neighborhood. Lindo's character did a lot for his community, good and bad. He give to the community through the front door, and then run the contributions with interest right out the back door. Lindo played the perfect bad guy.
    FOX is in for a rough year next year. They keep making me fall in love with new shows, and then they cancel them. I might have to stick with ABC, NBC, & CBS. At least until the shows have been approved for additional seasons. I really did like this show. I looked forward to seeing it every week. I will definitely miss The Chicago Code.moreless
