‘Drama Queens Podcast’ Already Feels Like a Safe Space
Drama Queens podcast is everything I didn’t know I needed. Oh, ravens. I don’t even know. I don’t know. If you had told me years ago that the One Tree Hill ladies would team up for a podcast, I wouldn’t have believed you. And the reality is, as of late I kept wanting to write Character and Relationship Deep Dives for these characters, but I thought to myself, I don’t want to do this, I don’t want to support anything Mark Schwann did. I don’t want our page to have new pieces of that show that has hurt these actors

Spoilers Ahead Case Summary: When kids are overdosing and Bunny’s lover is murdered, the cases tie together in an unsurprising way. Erin makes the decision to accept a job with the FBI. Review | Analysis: Chicago P.D. is a show about good deeds, but at its core, it is a show about family. A family the Intelligence unit has formed through innate dedication to protecting one another. Whether it’s past, present, or future members, the unit has always been a family. And “Fork in the Road” was an episode about family, it was far from perfect, undoubtedly predictable, but nevertheless, it featured some beautiful

Spoilers Ahead Case Summary: When a group of pedophiles are targeted and burned, the Intelligence unit must figure out who’s behind it. And since capital punishment is now illegal in Illinois, despite the fact that those burned are criminals, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s now a crime. Erin crosses a line and leaves her career in jeopardy. Review | Analysis: Chicago P.D. is a great show, but like anything in its genre, it can get redundant. Now while that’s not a problem because it mirrors a police officer’s day-to-day lives, on a TV series, it’s up to the characters to make it

Spoilers Ahead On a scale of one to 10, how heartbroken are our readers right now? Case Summary: When a young girl is found locked up in a secluded area, the Intelligence unit must track down the man who placed the Craigslist ad to lure her. Olinsky returns to work. Jay’s ex-wife (?!?!) returns. Review | Analysis: Chicago P.D. is far from perfect, in fact, its lack of continuity and the decision to ignore significant parts of a character’s life that were previously established never fails to make my blood boil. And the fact that the series makes me angrier than anything else

Case Summary: After Will Halstead calls in the unit to notify them of yet another overdose and a body’s later found, the unit scatters together to find the dealer. Tay’s sent back to her old unit. Jay gives Mouse his blessing to leave and Platt hands him the cleared record. Review | Analysis: “A War Zone” was solid, but unsurprisingly one of the more heartbreaking episodes. One of the things Chicago P.D. is best at is showcasing the importance of a person’s agency. And in doing so, it’s always

Spoilers Ahead And the streak of unnecessary TV deaths continues. Case Summary: When a woman is found dead in the trunk of a car, the unit links her to Voight’s son Justin, but before they can find Justin, he’s been shot and left in the same position. And before we can find the killer, Voight’s in a position to be promoted to Lieutenant and when the culprit’s found, the notorious detective we met in the pilot returns. Review | Analysis: “Start Digging” is the type of episode that managed to remind me of what Chicago P.D. in its first season was like.

Spoilers Ahead featuring spoilers from Law and Order: SVU’s “Nationwide Manhunt”. Ding dong the creep is dead. Case Summary: Yates escapes from prison and targets Lindsay, but it all comes down to his past with his biological family. Review | Analysis: While I thought tonight’s episode was incredibly intriguing, it’s one of those that sadly leaves me with very little to analyze. And for those who are familiar with my work, you know my favorite part of the series involves discussing the core characters. That said, though there’s not much I can analyze, there are a few things worth mentioning, and
