Review of Burnside

Chicago P.D.: Burnside (2021)
Season 9, Episode 5
9/10
Great Episode and Writing.
7 November 2021
Writers are taking a different stance on the Black Lives Matter craze. I like their approach. LaRoyce Hawkins is trying to be a cop and yet wrestling with the system. There is something wrong but the answers to the problem are harder to answer than most people in our society make it out. Sorry to see that this episode gets one of the lower ratings of all of the episodes. This is a tough subject and I think the writers aren't ignoring it and at least trying to examine the subject. Kev seems to be stuck in the middle on this subject. Not as radical as his new love interest, Celeste, and yet still bothered. Voight has a nice line toward him showing respect and admiration for continuing to do his job while he wrestles with these issues. Let's face it, most, not all of the crooks in this show have been black. Maybe that is a reality in Chicago and yet is there something more to it.
