WGTC writes: TV in general has gotten tremendously more daring, and that means that an attention-grabbing premise is no longer enough. Networks need to give viewers a reason to keep coming back after the novelty of the premise has worn off. For broadcast networks, that has meant keeping shows spinning their wheels for as long as possible. Thus the case-of-the-week format of crime shows where every story is self-contained and there is rarely any forward momentum to a show’s overall narrative. Forward momentum means moving towards an eventual endpoint, and networks don’t want that. They want viewers coming back week after week out of sheer, lazy habit.
Showtime Review: This is a forgettable and conflusing series that had the potential to be better but forgets to show it to us.
Season 5 of "The Chi" continues to give what is expected, in terms of presenting a complex view of the city, while making improvements to how the girls and women are developed.
While no one physically dies in the 5th season finale of “The Chi,” a handful of dreams potentially do, but many others present a silver lining.
I'm sure Showtime won't screw up Homeland.
