Does Anyone Actually Live in Chicago PD?
So, you're wondering if Chicago PD is basically a real-life version of The Walking Dead, but with better haircuts and less zombies, right? Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into the murky waters of fictional fatalities.
Death is a Recurring Guest Star
Let's get one thing straight: Chicago is clearly a very dangerous place to be, especially if you're involved in law enforcement. It's like the writers have a morbid fascination with writing obituaries. Every episode is basically a countdown to see who's gonna bite the dust next. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions, I tell ya. One minute you're cheering for Voight and his crew, the next you’re reaching for the tissues because someone just got shot.
Who’s Safe? Nobody.
From seasoned detectives to innocent bystanders, no one is immune to the grim reaper's visit. It's like a twisted game of Russian roulette, where the stakes are life and death. And don't even get me started on the recurring characters. You get attached, thinking they're safe, and then BAM! They're gone, leaving you questioning your life choices and the show's cruelty.
The Emotional Toll
It's not just the characters who suffer. We, the viewers, are also on a constant emotional rollercoaster. One episode you're laughing at Burgess's antics, the next you're sobbing over a character's death. It's exhausting, but we keep coming back for more. Maybe we're just masochists.
How to Survive a Chicago PD Marathon
Now that we've established that Chicago PD is basically a never-ending funeral, let's talk about how to survive it.
- How to prepare for a character's death: Assume everyone is going to die. This way, you won't be as heartbroken when it actually happens.
- How to cope with the loss of a favorite character: Find a support group, eat ice cream, and binge-watch something light and fluffy.
- How to avoid becoming emotionally invested: Don't get too attached. Easier said than done, we know.
- How to survive a Voight-centric episode: Stock up on popcorn and strong drinks.
- How to appreciate the show despite all the death: Focus on the good stuff: the action, the drama, and the occasional funny moment.
So, there you have it. Chicago PD is a thrilling, heartbreaking, and often frustrating show. But hey, at least it's never boring.
