In a season where I’ve become disillusioned with finales, leave it to ‘The Chicago Code’ to sweep in and restore my faith with as close to a perfect last act as I’ve ever seen in two decades of watching TV. That only makes breaking up even harder to do.
It might be out but it’s not down: tonight’s ‘The Chicago Code’ showed off writing that didn’t mess around, or try to suck up for my attention. The result? Some of the best drama on TV. Aspiring writers and network execs, take note.
Good television holds your interest through the hour. Great television sticks with you beyond it. Last night’s ‘The Chicago Code,’ which dealt well with a sensitive subject and brought brilliant closure to a subplot, broke my heart and I loved almost every second of it.
Among the many things I love about ‘The Chicago Code,’ one of the major ones is that I never feel like I’m watching “TV police.” This week’s episode spotlighted the price Liam and Jarek have paid for their successes.
