I would love season 5 of the chi
The only reason I subscribe to Showtime is to watch the Chi♂️and Tiff ain’t no good
The writer’s pretty much ended the show when they killed off Ronnie, right after he saved Keisha. I knew instantly that, that was a blow that they might not be able to recuperate from. They lost a long list of significant characters, that their fanbase had a strong connection with. Brandon was understandable, but along with him Jericka, later Reg, Ronnie, and a bunch of smaller characters. They acted as if they wanted it to end. Had they made better decisions, they would’ve been around to see season 10.
Do not cancel the chi please. I love this show.
Please bring back the Chi for season 5. It’s such a realistic portrayal of life in urban cities.
All the people I know who watch it want more.
Lena got it going on!
I give it too ratings!
PLEASE bring “The Chi” back for a season 5. I absolutely love the series it caught my attention from the first episode and I am now hooked. Thumbs up 5 star rating from from me.
My wife and I are are big fans of the show but we feel that the storyline has lost credibility and departed from reality like “Duda” for instance and his character as a thug mayor is sort of unbelievable along with the open marriage thing. It’s strayed too far out to left field and it needs to come back to the uniqueness of it’s Chicago flavor!
I love the show the chi I really want to see a season 5
I want the chi to return for season 5!!
It’s a pretty entertaining show. The characters are so relatable.
Please bring out season 5 of the Chi I love that show
I watched every season and all episodes. It was in 48 hrs. It was reality warm funny and heart breaking. I’m a cancer survivor. It hit home. Please bring it back for a 5th season.
