So, You Wanna Be a Chicago P.D. Fanatic on Apple TV? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
Let's face it, there's nothing quite like settling in for a night of watching Hank Voight and his crew take down Chicago's finest (and finest criminals) on Chicago P.D. But before you dive headfirst into that binge-watching rabbit hole, a crucial question arises: How much is this binge-fest gonna cost on Apple TV?
Fear not, intrepid viewer, for I, your friendly neighborhood pop culture guru, am here to crack the code. But be warned, the answer, like Voight's moral compass, is a little more complex than a simple "yes" or "no."
Owning vs. Renting: The Great Apple TV Showdown
Here's the deal: Apple TV offers two ways to get your Chicago P.D. fix: buying the entire season or renting individual episodes.
-
Buying the Entire Season: This is your go-to option for the ultimate fangirling/fanboying. You'll own all the episodes, forever and ever, amen. No pesky rental periods or scrambling to finish an episode before it disappears. But hold onto your horses, this option can set you back a pretty penny. We're talking in the ballpark of $389.89 for the whole shebang. Think of it as an investment in your sanity during those long, TV-less stretches.
-
Renting Individual Episodes: This is the pay-as-you-go option, perfect for casual viewers or those who are a little strapped for cash (like, say, after accidentally setting your money on fire while trying to perfect Voight's steely glare). Each episode will cost you around $1.99, which isn't too shabby. But here's the kicker: marathoning an entire season this way could add up faster than you can say "intelligence unit."
The Verdict: It Depends on Your Binge Budget (and Patience)
So, how much is Chicago P.D. on Apple TV? Well, it depends on your viewing style.
-
The Hardcore Fanatic: If you bleed Chicago P.D. blue and plan on re-watching every episode until you know every line by heart, then buying the entire season might be your best bet.
-
The Casual Viewer: If you just want to catch up on a random episode here and there, renting might be the more economical option.
Remember, there's always the option to explore the free trial that Apple TV sometimes offers. Just be sure to cancel before the trial ends unless you want a surprise addition to your next bill (because trust me, Voight's interrogation techniques won't be used to get that money back).
Ultimately, the decision is yours, my friend. Just remember, there's no wrong way to enjoy the drama and action of Chicago P.D. (except maybe watching it on mute while listening to polka music – that's just weird). Happy binging!
