DESCRIPTION: (from Paramount+'s web site, May 2024) On Chicago's South Side, an average day finds kids prepping for school as their parents head off to work, young adults trying to make a living, and the elders keeping an eye on things from their front porches, but in this tough neighborhood, real dangers daily threaten to squelch dreams, and the simplest decisions can have life or death consequences on this SHOWTIME® Original Series. From Emmy®-winner Lena Waithe, The Chi is a timely coming-of-age drama series centered on a group of residents who become linked by coincidence but bonded by the need for connection and redemption.
