The Chi is an American drama series created by Lena Waithe about life in a neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago. (Where Lena grew up)

I would describe the series as edgy, funny, insightful and well put together. This series is like none other and a great watch for any race and gender. Their approach to what would be uncomfortable situations/topics are so perfect you don’t even realize it’s an uncomfortable situation or topic. The writing, music and cast draws you in to the point where you actually forget where you are and what you were doing. 

Free episodes are available to watch on Showtime’s website and on Amazon Prime.
