Chicago P.D.: Season Four [DVD]

I love this show!!

+++ Warning, this review contains minor spoilers from season three, but no major giveaways from season four.+++ The fourth season of Chicago PD picks up pretty much right after the events of the season three finale. Voight is being investigated for the murder of his son's killer, and, of course, Erin is caught up in that. As you can imagine, he ends up off the hook, but I will not spoil the particulars. Then, the show pretty much follows its case of the week format. About a third of the way into the season there is a crossover episode with just Chicago Fire, in which the team has to investigate Kelly Severide for a hit and run accident. Then, about 2/3 of the way through the season there is the big crossover that includes Fire, PD, and the new series Chicago Justice. Med did not have an official episode in the crossover, but much of the Fire episode and the PD episode were set at Med, so many of the characters from Med did appear. The episode of Justice was its series premiere (having had the backdoor pilot during the third season of Chicago PD the previous year). The season ends with a slight cliffhanger leaving the fate of one of the main characters up in the air. This season did see some cast turnover with Brian Gerahety's and Samuel Hunts's characters having been written out, and Jon Seda's character taking a new job as an investigator for the State's Attorney's office (so Seda could transition over to Chicago Justice) about halfway through the season. Also, Marina Squerciati went on maternity leave about 3/4 of the way through the season, so the character of Burgess was allowed to go on furlough following an episode that involved a family member of hers. That paved the way for the addition of a new character, Detective Hailey Upton (played by Tracy Spirdakos), who transfers to Intelligence from Robbery-Homicide. For those who get the DVD, there are no real extras like deleted scenes, or behind-the-scenes clips like there were in previous season releases. The crossover episodes of Chicago Fire and Chicago Justice are included, however, so, even if you do not watch the other shows, you can see the entire storyline from the episodes play out. Overall, the series was still going strong in its fourth season. The writing and acting were solid, and whatever tension there was on set between actors (which is more than just a rumor) did not bleed over into the finished product). The show also did a good job balancing storylines for the large cast, and while not every character got an equal amount of screen time, none of them seemed like "also-rans". So, if you are a fan of the first three seasons, this one is definitely worth a look.

This series is exceptional in every way. The intelligence of the Chicago PD team is high and their problem solving skills are so effective. The actors portray their roles realistically demonstrating their humanity along with their exceptional bravery. I admire these qualities and enjoy each disc I have watched. I have the first four seasons. I highly recommend Chicago PD.

I started watching the current season six on TV and loved it so much that I went back and ordered the earlier seasons . Each episode has a different situation but throughout all of the seasons you get bits and pieces of things personal to each of the detectives . Loved these dvd’s.

Great show i wanted to own them on DVD so i could binge watch without commercials. Worth $10 a season i wouldn't over pay because the show is on TV and streaming platforms. your basically buying this if your a collector or want to watch without commercials.

Amazing show, with a fantastic cast, director, and story behind the dramatic and thrilling television show. All of the Chicago shows are a much watch and they all add more and more depth to the fantastic story as each season arrives and takes off! Must buy and a must watch!

This is a great show by Dick Wolf. It is by far the best of the three "Chicago" series he's created. That being said, Season 4 is by far the weakest of them so far. There are some good episodes but overall this season seemed to have lost it's way from the original three. Fortunately, the show got back on track with Season 5.

i ordered seasons one through six and am currently watching season four. every season far exceeded my expectations......it started with a bang, and continues to get even better, because now you are invested in these individuals, and care what happens to them......it is a realistic show, good people, cast members you care about.... die, just like in real life.
