Just finished watching season 2 of The Chi It feels very much like The Wire light. If youre a fan of the The Wire id recommend checking it out. While obviously not as great, its got alot of the same feel and is a bit lighter as It follows a small group of kids as one of the main characters among others. Solid acting and a pretty varied story, id say it kept my interest through both seasons so far.
Basically the jist of it; It centers around a drug gang in Chicago, the story gets set up around two murders of a young and older teenager, It follows an intersecting storyline of about half a dozen characters from there. The only downside is season 3 is a bit aways as season 2 just wrapped up.
