Making it’s official debut this past Sunday, Showtime Network’s new drama The Chi, created by Emmy Award Winning writer Lena Waithe, gives an intimate look at a collective of people living in Chicago’s south side whose lives are intimately intertwined in ways they don’t fully realize.
Showtime describes the show as follows:
On Chicago’s south side, an average day finds kids prepping for school as their parents head off to work, young adults trying to make a living, and the elders keeping an eye on things from their front porches. But in this tough neighborhood, real dangers threaten daily to squelch dreams, and the simplest decisions can have life or death consequences. The Chi is a timely coming-of-age drama series centered on a group of residents who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption.
Listen in as Jeandra LeBeauf recaps and reacts to each of the inaugural season’s 10 episodes beginning with episode one which asks the question, what are you going to do?
