Same thing happened to ‘The Chicago Code’ from Fox. Great little on location cop show that revealed all to well and easily how politics, graft and corruption infest everything in a one party city.
Could also add and argue that the third, fourth and fifth seasons of HBO’s ‘The Wire’ wrote the series’ swan song.
Revealing how mostly black, inner city Democrat politics work in Baltimore. And the throughout the state once the cops started following the drug money after Carcetti became Mayor.
‘The Wire’’s fourth season, that shone light on Baltimore’s education system didn’t do the state any favors, either.
I thought Chicago Code was the best crime show on. No hocus pocus super computer CSI crap. I knew it wouldn’t last as it depicted a corrupt black alderman as the head crime boss. Way to close to home for Cook County politics.
Can’t compare “Chicago Code” to The Wire. The Wire is in my opinion the best series ever filmed. Better then the Sopranos or The Shield which I believe are classic. Chicago Codes actors all looked like movie stars . It wasn’t believable. I’m in Chicago and we have hot woman here but they’re not cops or fireman. The only female cops I see have fat asses and are of questionable sexuality.
