Chicago PD is a cornerstone of the “One Chicago” franchise, renowned for its gripping portrayal of the Chicago Police Department’s Intelligence Unit. Led by the formidable Sergeant Hank Voight (played by Jason Beghe), the show delves into the high-stakes world of crime-solving, moral challenges, and the deep camaraderie among officers. With its realistic storytelling and diverse cast, Chicago PD has become a fan favorite for its intense drama and complex characters.
