In What Order Should I Watch The Chicago Series

Okay, let's talk about the Chicago shows. Fire, P.D., Med… they’re like a delicious, chaotic family dinner. But where do you even START?

The "Official" Watch Order (BORING!)

Everyone will tell you to follow the broadcast order. You know, watch each episode as it aired. That means bouncing back and forth between burning buildings and tense interrogations.

Supposedly, this is the only way to catch all the crossovers. Honestly? It's exhausting. It's like trying to juggle flaming chainsaws while riding a unicycle.

Why It Doesn't Work For Me

Firstly, who has time for that? Secondly, remembering which tiny plot point connects which show is impossible. I'm here for drama, not a pop quiz.

And honestly? Some crossovers are skippable. Gasp! I said it! Don’t @ me.

My "Unpopular" Opinion: Pick a Show and Stick With It

Here's the crazy thing: You can totally just binge one show at a time. Yes, really!

Start with Chicago Fire. Or Chicago P.D. Or Chicago Med. It doesn't matter! Pick the emergency you're most in the mood for.

You might miss a minor character showing up in another show. But you'll get the gist. The important stuff usually gets recapped, anyway.

Why This Works (For Normal People, Like Me)

It's way less confusing. You get to know the characters better. And you don't have to keep track of a million different storylines.

Plus, if you start with Chicago Fire, you can appreciate all the eye candy early on. Let's be honest, that's a big draw, right?

The "Crossover Episode" Exception

Okay, okay, there's one exception. If you stumble upon a big crossover event? Then yes, maybe check out the other episodes involved.

Usually, they’re heavily advertised. So, you'll know. The sky will probably turn red or something equally dramatic.

My Real Recommendation (Shhh!)

Want the real secret? Start with whichever show has your favorite actor or actress. Or whatever sounds the most interesting.

Obsessed with ambulances and saving lives? Chicago Med it is! Love a good detective story? Chicago P.D. is calling your name.

Drawn to bravery and brotherhood (and amazing abs)? Head straight to Chicago Fire. You won't regret it.

Ultimately, It's Your Choice!

Look, there’s no right or wrong answer. This isn't rocket science. It's TV.

So relax, grab some popcorn, and dive into the world of Chicago. Just remember to have fun!

And if anyone gives you grief for watching them out of order? Tell them I sent you. 😉
