ABOUT CHICAGO PD
From multiple Emmy Award-winning executive producer Dick Wolf, "Chicago P.D." is a riveting police drama about the men and women of the Chicago Police Department's elite Intelligence Unit, combatting the city's most heinous offenses - organized crime, drug trafficking, high-profile murders and beyond. Handpicked as the head of the unit, Det. Sgt. Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) has assembled a team of diverse detectives who share his passion and commitment to keeping the city safe. They include Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer), Officer Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati), Officer Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger), Officer Kevin Atwater (LaRoyce Hawkins) and Det. Hailey Upton (Tracy Spiridakos), the newest member of the team with killer instincts, humor and smarts. Desk Sgt. Trudy Platt (Amy Morton) runs a tight precinct with tough love, although she lets her softer side shine through from time to time.
Chicago PD is available now on Peacock, the new streaming service from NBCUniversal. Watch thousands of hours of hit movies and shows, plus daily news, sports, and pop culture updates. Stream now on Peacock.

The was the best custody defense I’ve ever heard. Having a great relationship with the child you look after, having a connection with them, can definitely help

[@robertlawson2660]

When she said 4hrs ago and the lawyer laughed all his credibility when out the window, the judge didn’t wanna hear him again

[@benrussell-gough1201]

Yeah: She got shot at and didn't freeze up. She's being shot at all the time and never takes it out on the Princess. He's talking about someone he doesn't know or understand and he doesn't know that having Michaela makes Kim stronger not vulnerable.

What a jerk 😡 he should have been asked to approach the bench and be suspended for his childish behavior. Guns are no laughing matter.

[@tacklecentralfishing1051]

The judge was like just shut up man I don't wanna hear it

[@mcnoneya]

It’s sad that there are different rules for parents who gave birth to their children and adoptees. A biological child of a cop wouldn’t be taken away but a potential adoptee of a cop could be. Crazy in my opinion

[@foolslayer9416]

It should apply either way. Not everyone should be parents, biological or no.

[@mcnoneya]

@@foolslayer9416 that makes sense. A drug addict gives birth to a child. One who has no intention of giving up drugs( as opposed to those who are actually trying- it takes time and isn’t easy) should they be allowed to raise kids?

[@courtneymoore3177]

When you love and trust someone you get confidence and they hold you up. Kim looks to Adam because she knows that he is that to her. I hate when ppl say she just uses him. If that was the case we all use the people we love. They deserve to be happy. That have been through too much pain too long. They deserve happiness.

[@sueprator9314]

She is a total jerk to Adam. He deserves better.

[@nandalima1295]

I lover so so much, and Adam was so proud of her, my god his face is so 🥰. I hope that season 10 finally makes them official as a couple 🙏🏻❤️

[@skyove7476]

I love that she fired back at the lawyer!! Kim might be going through stuff. But she fights back! Badass!!!🤪♥️♥️🥰

[@baileyrayzor1900]

I:18 - 3:04 proves how much she loves Makayla. I think she has Voight to thank for all this because she was having to go through that process of healing after what happened to her with Roy Walton. She could've just stayed home and retired but after Voight's visit she shook it off and at the end of the day saved a life. She pushed through that barrier as do all 1st responders do after they've been hurt. She is a powerful asset to the team and she realized the job is where she belonged. She had Ruzek as her support blanket and as the legal guardian so if she died Makayla would be left alone. Seems to me like they were made for each other with everything she described. One of the things I admire the most is how whole they've made each other. Makayla lost her whole family and Burgess lost her only unborn child and by coming together with Ruzek they've made that family whole again.

[@melindahansen-x2x]

@baileyrayzor1900 No. Makayla didn't lose her whole family does she know she has an Uncle and Aunt that is her family that Kim and Adam didn't find her family background she has biological Uncle and Aunt and her Uncle has the right to see his niece at school there is no restraining order or court order until they went personal and trespassing their home and file counter suit against Kim Burgess

[@jonathanmyers2867]

They are good family I hope they stay together

[@billjack9964]

🚔Chicago PD is a really good police drama. Kim is a good character. I wish USA Network would show CPD more often instead of days of Law and Order SVU. CPD has great varying storylines and not focused on rapes of women and children.

How did Voight not intimidate this lawyer to drop the case?

Lol. It's not because you are a good cop you become automatically a good parent. It's a fulltime job being a parent. For both genders 🙂

[@Aurora-jw3mz]

that's not what she said. Also, you can be good at your job, your twenty hobbies and still be a good parent.

[@zoella2349]

@@Aurora-jw3mz but her jobs one where shell not be there all the time and she'll barely get to see her child

[@Aurora-jw3mz]

@@zoella2349 Welcome to the real world. Many parents are working so hard and so long they basically only get home to say goodnight to their kid. Only enjoy an hour with them that's basically helping them with their homework. And that's with good parents. You can get a job that gives you enough time to see your kids more than two hours a day, great for you. But not everyone has that privilege, it DOES NOT make them bad parents or unworthy of being parents.

[@sniper11n.d.34]

@@Aurora-jw3mz No one is talking about age. What they do is very intens. Burges needs to understand you can't have a career and be a fulltime parent at the same time. She's need to make a choice. A career is not the same as just a job.

[@Aurora-jw3mz]

@@sniper11n.d.34 age? What? you're the only one talking about age? XD You can have a career/job ( wich is the same btw) and still be a good parent. You people believe you can only parent while being barefoot in a kitchen or what?

@@angelicalulu9853 what do you mean about that? Kim just went through hell and back and almost died. Cut the girl some slack. You would be someone different if you almost died.

[@findielfuchs3761]

@@lunareclipse5423 I think the issue is that in my opinion they didn't really show us Kim's side of all this after episode 2. sure there were Kim centered episodes but I feel like we mostly see Kim hurting Adam and we don't see Kim's side. For example when she "kicked him out" and said that Makayla was doing better when he was gone, why didn't they show us that? Why didn't they show us Makaylas night terrors and the fact that she was doing better when Adam was gone? And why didn't they show us Kim feeling bad and weighing the options before ripping Adams heart out? That's why I think many people have lost the empathy and interest for Kim, because either you make up these explanations in your head or you start hating Kim for how she's treating Adam

[@larrymorgan3158]

I had no idea Kim was white until this past season when they blatantly said she was. Always thought she was hispanic. She always had "New York Puerto Rican girl" swag to me. She even translates spanish a few times in earlier seasons so I guess that's what threw me off too. LOL

She’s an amazing mom and she doesn’t blame everything on Ruzek cause if u look at her therapy session in s10 she says tht she wasn’t rdy bc she wasn’t mentally stable whereas Ruzek kept on pushing her to be in relationship she probably didn’t at the time
