About Chicago P.D.
District 21 of the Chicago Police Department is made up of two distinctly different groups. There are the uniformed cops who patrol the beat and go head to head with the city's street crimes. And there's the Intelligence Unit, the team that combats the city's major offenses - organized crime, drug trafficking, high profile murders and beyond. These are their stories.
How to get through Chicago P.D. faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 5 hours, 33 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 213 hours; at 1.5× it's 177 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
