The Chicago Code with Jennifer Beals and Jason Clarke PREVIEW
CrimeTimePreview may 06,2011

Sky1, from Thursday, 12 May, 9pm

The Chicago Code is Sky1's slick new US cop show. The premise is interesting – tackling police/political corruption in Chicago, fabled gangster town of Al Capone and the old-style mob where graft still keeps the wheels turning.

However, the series is less gripping than the premise – two cops, detective Jarek Wysocki and superindentent Teresa Colvin, decide to take on all the crooked aldermen and cops throughout the city on their own.

And we're also asked to believe glamorous Jennifer Beals has risen to become the most powerful police officer in the city without powerful political friends, but on the basis of an inspiring, heartfelt pitch at her job interview. And all because 30 years before her dad's business was bled dry by the protection money he had to pay out.

Jason Clarke as Wysocki

Jason Clarke, fresh from The Brotherhood, is Wysocki, the Polack cop and one-time patrol partner of Colvin, who she has to woo back to join her anti-corruption battle. The series has been created by Shawn Ryan, who gave us The Shield, and features the kind of wisecracking, rapid-fire dialogue that only exists on primetime TV.

In contrast to the neat story and black-and-white characters, the Windy City itself provides a gritty, striking backdrop to the action. In fact, the rough neighbourhoods are one of the strongest characters on show, and we get a far better view of the metropolis than we ever got on ER or the current The Good Wife.

Up against Colvin and Wysocki is Alderman Ronin Gibbons (Delroy Lindo, charming and oily in his $2000 suits), who's been in power for more than 20 years. As Colvin says, 'He made me superintendent because he doesn't think I can take him on.'

Too Much Plot Syndrome

The pilot suffers from Too Much Plot Syndrome. This occurs when, in a desperate effort to lodge characters into viewers' minds, the pilot burps and groans with too much plot and background. The Wire and the Danish version of The Killing have spoiled us recently with the slow-burn drama, where characters are complex and sometimes contradictory.

Anyway – deep breath – Wysocki is a homicide cop, hates swearing, loves the White Sox, can't find a partner to work with, talks down a criminal on the run while racing alongside him in a speeding car, has a niece who's a rookie on the force, is divorced but still has sex with his ex, he has a fiancee, he's hunting his the killer of his brother, also a cop, etc.

Well received in America

Still, Jason Clarke looks the part far more than Jennifer Beals, who we're told is very tough, brave and ruthless, but whose flat performance doesn't get these qualities across at all.

It's never safe to pass judgment on a pilot episode, which on the major networks has a job to do in grabbing audiences in one hour. The Chicago Code was warmly received in the US, and certainly episode two, in which a cop killer is hunted, has a more even pace and far more impact.

But Jennifer Beals as the supercop in killer heels decking street thugs will take some getting used to.

THE CHICAGO CODE’s Jennifer Beals Teases Teresa’s Fight Against Gibbons

May 9, 2011 by Marisa Roffman

With just one week until Fox decides what its 2011-2012 schedule will look like, if you’ve been meaning to tune into THE CHICAGO CODE, now is the time.

Why should you be tuning in? Series star Jennifer Beals (Teresa) has a good reason for the remaining doubters out there.

“I just think that the story [and] the writing is really fantastic,” she told me earlier today. “It’s fast and it’s smart and you cover the whole spectrum of action and intelligence and I don’t think you get that often on many shows that air on television today.”

Beals speaks the truth. So what’s going on in tonight’s episode for Teresa?

“Teresa is boxed in a corner and she has to figure out a way to get herself out of Gibbons’ box,” Beals teased. “In these last few episodes, we really play out [their dynamic] at warp speed. This episode starts it off and the last few just go like a bullet train. Tonight is seeing what kind of game Teresa can have to deal with the situation.”

A game?

“In the beginning, she feels like she has no moves that she can make,” she explained. “She’s looking at the chess board and going, ‘There’s nothing I can do.’ And then she finds a little hole to squeeze through. I think that she’s realizing she has lots of different cards to play that she didn’t necessarily see before.”

And while Jarek is still Teresa’s main ally in the fight against Gibbons, Beals teased that her character will be branching out in the remaining episodes.

“She’s starting to learn to extend herself beyond the CPD,” Beals noted. “Because Chicago is all about power. It is a city in love with power the way Washington is in love with power. People play that out through personal and city politics and the two come together quite often. And I think she’s learning to work outside the police department. I think she understands politics outside of the police department, but it’s parlaying that knowledge into a bigger arena.”

Teresa Colvin tratará de cerrar el caso contra el concejal Gibbons, y también tendrá una noche libre en "Mike Royko's Revenge" el episodio final de temporada de CHICAGO CODe, que se emitirá el lunes, 23 de mayo en FOX.

parece que la audiencia del episodio emitido el lunes ha subido con casi un 6% con respecto al anterior según diferentes artículos que dicen:

ABC's Dancing With the Stars (4.1/11) was down 9% from last week, while Castle (3.1/ was up 7%. Castle was joined in the plus ratings column by Fox's The Chicago Code (1.7/4, up 6%). Its lead-in, freshly renewed House (2.9/9) was flat, tying last week's season low.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Fox placed a distant second, with House (7.8 million, 2.9) flat from its previous original and freshman drama The Chicago Code (5.7 million, 1.7) up 6 percent. Fox just renewed House for an eighth season, after talks between the studio and network were prolonged; the fate of Code, however, is up in the air.
