I hope everyone is doing well after the exciting season premiere of Chicago PD!
The season premiere of Chicago PD, titled "Ten Ninety-Nine," was an absolutely fantastic episode! It focused on Voight and the emotional aftermath of losing Upton, who had come so close to death. You can really see how he and the team are connecting the dots as they move from one crime scene to another, with a drug case at the center of it all.
For Voight, the situation becomes quite psychological. You can sense his struggle as he repeatedly changes his shirt after returning from each scene, showcasing the weight of his experiences. There are moments when he freezes up, desperately trying to save a victim who’s dying or reflecting on a time he was on his own deathbed.
The only person who notices this is A.S.A. Chapman. Over the past few seasons, they’ve developed a close bond, and she tries to reason with him, even using Upton’s calming techniques to help him through his turmoil. I've really enjoyed watching the dynamic between Voight and Chapman lately, and I can't help but wonder if their relationship might evolve into something more.
But wait, the episode doesn't stop there! Ruzkie (Ruzek's new nickname) and Detective Emily Martel are driving along when, out of nowhere, shots start flying! They quickly stop and get out, but unfortunately, Martel gets shot, leaving us with a huge cliffhanger for next week's episode.
Overall, I found the Season Nine premiere of Chicago PD highly enjoyable. Jason Beghe once again provided a commendable performance as Hank Voight, warranting his recognition as the Performer of the Week by TVLine. Initially, I had concerns regarding the potential impact of Burgess's absence; however, it ultimately did not detract from the episode. Martel proves to be a remarkable addition to the cast, even presenting us with an exceptional nickname for Ruzek. The episode's conclusion notably evoked memories of events from the first episode of Chicago PD.
Overall, I give this episode a 9.5/10.
