May/June La Première - The Chi (Season Three)


It's been a little over a year since The Chi last aired. A lot has changed.

Series regular Jason Mitchell was sacked due to misconduct allegations at the end of season two. Therefore Brandon Johnson's characters absence was resolved in the season three première.

So it's like a Hugh Grant film, four weddings (well actually one) and a funeral in the first episode.



I love The Chi. Like City on the Hill it's probably one of Showtime's most under the radar series. Jacob Latimore as Emmett Washington is honestly one of the best looking folks on TV.

He is also a fairly decent singer too.

The wedding scenes are full of love and acceptance in this episode, whilst there is always drama nearby on The Chi.

Running for a solid ten episodes straight (unlike Billions which is now on it's first ever midseason break) until late August. This show is sure to keep you warm this winter.

With a great cast, great music (that wedding dance/flash mob scene to DJ Casper's Cha Cha Slide, YASS!) and fabulous writing The Chi is a standout Showtime series.

I am excited to see where season three will take their loyal viewers. Here is hoping it gets an early fourth season order.
