Why Does Chicago PD Need a Narrator? Or, Who Told This Guy to Become a Sports Commentator?
Let's talk about the elephant in the interrogation room – the narrator on Chicago PD. I mean, we've got hardened detectives, high-speed chases, and enough drama to fill a small country. So, why on earth do we need someone to tell us what’s happening? It's like watching a football game and having a play-by-play commentator describe every single tackle.
A Case for the Defense (of the Narrator)
Okay, okay, I hear you. Maybe there’s a reason for this constant commentary. Maybe it’s to:
- Set the mood: Like, "It was a cold, rainy night in Chicago..." Thanks, narrator, we could see that.
- Fill in the blanks: When a character is being all mysterious, the narrator can spill the beans. But let's be real, half the fun is trying to figure it out ourselves.
- Add dramatic tension: "Will they catch the bad guy? Find out next week!" Again, thanks, narrator, we were on the edge of our seats already.
The Real Question: Who is This Guy?
Seriously, who is this omniscient being narrating our lives? Is it Voight, sharing his inner thoughts? Is it Halstead, trying to make a podcast on the side? Or is it just some random dude who got lost in the script?
I propose a fan theory: The narrator is actually a time-traveling detective from the future, trying to prevent major screw-ups. Like, "Halstead, don't chase that guy into the alley! There's a pit bull waiting!"
Let's Solve This Case
Enough with the speculation. It's time to get to the bottom of this. I'm starting a petition to bring the narrator on as a full-time character. We can call him... Narrator Novak. Or maybe just "The Voice."
In the meantime, let's embrace the absurdity. Maybe the narrator is actually making the show more entertaining. I mean, it's definitely memorable. So, let's enjoy the ride, and maybe, just maybe, one day we'll get a satisfying explanation.
