One detective is explaining the South Chicago facts of life—or death—to a naive colleague: Its criminal gangs function as a self-cleansing oven that hums along at maximum efficiency when left alone. “They’ll eventually kill who needs to be killed, and we’ll file the paperwork,” the cop declares breezily.
The Chi‘s goal is the subversion of that concept, and it’s a mission gloriously accomplished. Full of characters who are neither gun-crazy gangbangers nor ruthless narcotraffickers, The Chi is a reminder that even in war zones, human life continues in all its giddy wonder. Television critic Glenn Garvin reviews.
