Chicago Justice (TV Series) Fool Me Twice (2017) User Reviews

Script failure

[jdonalds-5 · 5/10 · 8 May 2017]

I really like Chicago Justice. I tend to like most courtroom drama and this show combines that with my appreciation for police procedural as well. But this episode was badly written and directed.

The bottom line is Banks and Kim were playing vigilantes. That was the case against them but the word was never spoken. The jury's decision wasn't what would happen in real life. The whole story fell apart in the courtroom. Too bad if the cop is highly decorated. He took it on himself to kill bad guys. That isn't the way this country works and he should have been punished for his crime.

What a let-down.

Just Chicago Mush

OK, I tried to like this show because it is a Dick Wolff production. But he's made a mistake with this show like he did during his last years with the original LAW and ORDER.

And the problem is with casting.

His shows are based upon us, the viewer, believing and engaging the characters in the stories. If we don't buy into them it takes away from the message. Criminal Intent's senior female detective was excellent and very believable. The female cop during the final years of LAW and ORDER was totally unbelievable and it seriously weakened the show.

Now with the Chicago series of shows, he's doing it again with weak or phony female characters. On this show Chicago Justice there is an aged while female detective that's trying to be the baddest cop in Chicago. Chicago, a city constantly in the headlines with gang crime and multiple murders weekly, well all we have to believe is this one white woman is smarter and better than the other cops in Chicago. I don't even know why she's tracking down bad guys. She ruins the show for me, and since her segment takes the first 30 minutes, I usually turn the channel once I see her unrealistic character try to solve Chicago's problems.

The legal part of the show does not have the intensity of the other LAW and ORDER legal segments. You have the handsome super smart white prosecutor working with the always angry senior prosecutor. It's tiresome.

I like Chicago PD and the Chicago Fire show. They both have weaknesses, but they're much stronger and far more watchable than this show.

Cho is Good, Never Bad

Normally a really enjoyable show, but this one was horrible. The writing was good, great plot, excellent pace and superb acting - all good points. BUT why is Cho a bad guy? No way, I will never accept Cho to be bad. Not only is he bad, he's really, really bad. Bah! If the rest of the shows weren't as good as they are, I would have to walk away. Don't mess with any 'Mentalist' Teammate.
