The Chicago Code

Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I have been insanely busy with uni work and deadlines etc. Nearing the end of all that now though, just the revision and exams to go!

Anyway enough of me moaning and onto another new TV show that has caught my eye. You have probably guessed by now it is to do with American crime seeing as most of the things I watch are about this! It is called The Chicago Code and is, yes you guessed it, set in Chicago. The creator is Shawn Ryan who is also know for The Unit, which I has been higher rated to me but I am yet to see. There are no huge names really to be seen in this, which I liked as it prevents the show basing itself around one main actor.




The show is sits in the drama genre, with its toes just dipping into the humour genre. You will find yourself gripped, while also letting out a little chuckle every once in a while. I have so far only seen a few episodes, but am at this point quite impressed. Hopefully it will continue to keep me interested.

Blue Bloods

So I spotted a trailer for this show recently and thought to myself "hmmmmm a drama about a New York Cop, that's original!" Then I got a bit more excited because it was created by Mitchell Burgess and Robin Green who were both involved in The Sopranos. I then got a little more excited when I found out Tom Selleck was in it (he is always brilliant and has a truly glorious moustache) as well as Donnie Wahlberg (one member of a very talented family...).


So I decided to give it a go and am pleased to say so far it is very enjoyable. The difference to other cop shows is it revolves around a whole family, the Reagan family, all of which are somehow tied into the NYPD, whether it be a policeman on the beat, a retired cop, a detective or even an ADA. This creates some tension when the different members of the family maybe differ in their views on a case.


I have so far only watched the pilot, which I feel is the best episode to judge a show on, but I must say I am already gripped. Hopefully it won't go down hill, and it would be a shame if it does! I have put a trailer below and I recommend you give it a go if you like gritty cop dramas or just impressive moustaches!
