Stars: Delroy Lindo, Billy Lush, Matt Lauria, Jennifer Beals, Jason Clarke, Devin Kelley and Todd Williams Writers: Tim Minear, Jon Worley Director: Jean de Segonzac Network: Fox, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: February 28, 2011 Think of THE CHICAGO CODE episode “Cabrini-Green” as a superb mini-movie masquerading as an episode of network television. The latest installment of Fox’s impressive new series is damn good, exploring the numerous shades of gray and corruption in the city particularly with Alderman Gibbons (Delroy Lindo), the show’s Big Bad. Superintendent Teresa Colvin (Jennifer Beals) has been doing everything she can to take Gibbons down, […]Read On »

Stars: Delroy Lindo, Billy Lush, Matt Lauria, Jennifer Beals, Jason Clarke, Devin Kelley and Todd Williams Writers: Davey Holmes Director:  Guy Ferland Network: Fox, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: February 21, 2011 I didn’t expect THE CHICAGO CODE to stay on the creative high of its first two episodes, so the good, not great,  “Gillis, Chase and Baby Face” was no surprise. However, it doesn’t mean the episode didn’t deliver. It’s a solid hour, better than most procedurals – I’ll give it that. However, when you’re trying to establish an over-riding arc that’s going to linger throughout the season, there […]Read On »

Stars: Delroy Lindo, Billy Lush, Matt Lauria, Jennifer Beals, Jason Clarke, Devin Kelley and Todd Williams Writers: Patrick Massett, John Zinman Director:  Clark Johnson Network: Fox, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: February 14, 2011 I said last week, I’ll say it again, THE CHICAGO CODE is shaping up to be the next great Fox drama. I really don’t care for TV cop dramas. Aside from the occasional LAW & ORDER, they bore me – and it’s clear they bore most TV writers, because very little has been done with the genre to shake things up since Shawn Ryan (CODE’s creator) […]Read On »

Stars: Delroy Lindo, Billy Lush, Matt Lauria, Jennifer Beals, Jason Clarke, Devin Kelley and Todd Williams Writer: Shawn Ryan Director: Charles McDougall Network: Fox, airs Monday nights Original Telecast: February 7, 2011 It’s been some time since a network drama has stormed out of the gates and made you sit up and take notice. Fox’s new drama THE CHICAGO CODE created by THE SHIELD’s Shawn Ryan is that show. THE CHICAGO CODE is without a doubt one of the best new shows of the new season – and it’s a shame it’s taken five months for it to rear its […]Read On »
