Season finale was BORING!! No excitement ni cliffhanger nothing mostly everything wrapped up nicely with a big bow wrapped around it i expected more smh only person that died was Q?? Excuse me? Nahh we deserve better!!
After I watched this episode, I saw so many people on Twitter saying it was great and I was like, "did we see the same episode?!" Thanks for assuring me I wasn't going crazy, Ashley.
I didn't like Emmett mom look on her wedding she looked like shug Avery on the color purple them flower headband I wish the didn't make her look like she old lady.I like how Emmett brought Keisha that art piece that she liked at the art gallery but other than that yes it was boring they couldn't done better Idk how they renew for season 6 and pvalley which was lit the whole season hasn't gotten renew yet
I feel you Ashley! I have been saying I need more street stuff since Ronnie left 😎 I think the writers on here forgot that Darnell had other kids. I'm not feeling the blended family stuff with Emmett, Keisha and Tiffany especially since Keisha and Emmett are not married. Kevin don't need to be trying to move out, if he know what I know about trying to make a dollar out of $.15! 😎😎
The fact that Darnell can afford to buy a house with all those kids and child support. I know he said he saves money though. Hmmm what kind-of job does he have?👀👀
The whole Rob being Q’s nephew made sense of why Rob was so laid back when Tiffany was so obsessed with meeting the “plug” and she was terrified after and Rob just laughed it off.
To be honest, I don't know where The Chi is going. This is a totally different show from its origin. We been hanging on but I need more from the writers. I feel like I've been left without a climax... At this point, I can take it or leave it.
It’s not just you , this season is giving. . . Too good to be true . It’s like they took toxic situations and made them look . . Like it was evolved and high vibrational but it’s not it’s very much messy so let’s see the mess . I guess I was just looking for something more realistic
That was the finale !?!?! 😂😂😂 I couldn’t tell … oh wow. I don’t want another season of Trig and ol’ girl! And Gemma’s dad needs to grow a pair!!!! He let that girl do anything! Traci need to let Douda go 🥴 she wana be in love so bad she don’t even care if he’s a fkn monster and MARRIED. I love Keisha and Emmett together, and I was so happy for Shad. I hope season 6 is more exciting than this season. 😒
I felt like they tried to pack too much in and it was a lot of going back and forth between all the story lines way too often. I felt like the ending was blah...I would've preferred a cliffhanger or something more major. Kevin irritated me although Nina does work my nerves. I'm sick of Jada's hair please moisturize it next season....I need Nina and Dre to have more of a storyline next season instead of boring online therapy sessions. Lenae is gorgeous but no matter the mood or scene her personality and reactions are the same. Like dang...we need some umph and character growth... ok I'm done lol
This season was all over the place. Felt like it was written by 3 different undergraduate creative writing cohorts. And they had Jada looking sickly.if it comes back I hope she isnt sick.
All I was thinking was smiling faces tell lies... the whole episode and beware, beware of the handshake. I love the chi. And I did not know Iman was on twenties I need to watch that show!
I think this season was good, the calm before the storm. Next season, characters like Duda and Nuk etc are going to take it back to the original essence of the show (gritty street, extortion, etc). We'll see. I will be watching!
It seems that Victor semi came out. He came to terms with the Truth. Kev will not be emancipated. Bakari saved Jake's life, which is good...... This feel as a final series..
Exactly but I will say Ashley you were right on with the prediction with Kevin for sure. But this finale did not wow me but you can see what is going to happen next season. I did like that yoga scene and Dre was there. Darnell do scare me because now he is so happy… I was like don’t have a heart attack or something😂
I’m cleaning and not looking at my screen while listening to you…. But let me tell you Ashley, when I heard those keys unlock that door. I grabbed my phone so quick to see who tf was tryna get in. I’m like I know she ain’t let nobody move up in there without telling us first 😩🤣😂
I really enjoyed the episode and season. It did feel like they were wrapping up, just in case they didn’t get another season. I know the series started out grittier, but I’m cool with the evolution of the show. Did we always know Rob was Q’s nephew? Anywho, I’m looking forward to season 6 🙌🏾
I think the seasons we are getting from the shows this year were filmed during Covid and maybe they didn’t know if they would be filming again so they have been ending the shows as if it’s not renewing. I just hope this upcoming year we get back to how the shows use to keep us on our toes each episode.
So I’m getting ready to show my age…the actress that plays Jada was in a music video called “You should be here “ by Rafael Sadiiq and D’ Angelo she was the love interest
Good review. For me the episode was a let's tie & clear up all questions/holes that have been lingering. Douda is back he gave Emmett money the same as Brandon. I was surprised Emmett fell for it & took the money. Not a good look for Emmett. Also, started thinking maybe Jake & Victor are Douda's sons. Great episode.
As far as Jadas age, in that episode a couple seasons ago, when Jada took Suede to the reunion, the sign said class of 98, so that would put Jada, Darnell, Nina, and Dre in their early 40s. Tracy seems a little younger with her fine ass. Jada and Darnell just act older lol and that is around the age some women start to have grey hair. You’ve got some young acting folks in their 40s and some people in their 40s act old as hell 😂
Maybe they thought it was series finale, just dull and ok🤷🏾♀️ i miss the thug life 😂😂😂 sorry imma bird lately when Brandon, Reg, and that lady cop I was glued baby! And this is the Chi we need real deal Chicago don’t play
Miss Ashley, You could not be more correct. When the Chi first started, it was hardcore and gritty. You had to say damn a lot. I just feel like the shift of killing Brandon off, just left a huge hole in the plots and storylines. Feels lazy. I don’t want anything bad to happen to Emmitt and Gemma’s dad is going to freak out if he finds out Duda is investing in Smokey’s. I don’t know why they do Jada hair like that either 😉have a great weekend!
The show started off with an edge that has been dulled over the past few seasons. There is no escaping it. It's the street life made by Disney. I am hoping that Emmett and Tiff's boyfriend link up next season to off Douda once they get off the ground and then clash to see who is going to run the "organization" after he's gone. I don't like the fact that no one we cared about died and terrible as that sounds.
IMO, they rushed through this season finale. Made me wonder if the series is done because it was like they went outta their way to wrap up every storyline. I didn't enjoy this one at all. Maybe they need a new writing room. 🤷🏾♀️
This season Finale pissed me off tbh. But the main thing that irked me was Jada’s wedding makeup. Whoever did it needs their butt whipped!!!! That green around her eyes was a NO! I see that it was supposed to be natural but it looked a mess. I will say though next season is probably going to be a bit more gritty like you wanted Ashley.
Yea I just did not enjoy this season as much as I thought I was going to!!! I just was not feeling a lot of the storylines that was going on this season!!!! I think they need some better writers!!!
The story lines are all over the place🙄. They have the characters doing stuff that doesn't make any sense compared to how they used to be in the beginning. I did not realize this was the finale lol.
Beyond the woman the story lines are not connecting like they use to. The show started out with everyone connected and now all the lines go different ways. I was thinking did the boys even hang this season. Yes, where is baby Ronnie? Is Kesha still in school?
Sorry. But I didn't care much for it. Only part I liked was the parent teacher conference scene, that's it. I hate Trig/Victor character. I was never convinced about him. I didn't like Jada wedding look. What the heck was that on her head? What was up with the Jake/Nuk/Bakari scene? I didn't get it.
This finale was ok. So Victor went the whole season pretending to be with someone else for votes (at Douda’s request), but now he’s gonna live his truth again in the open?! Ok. Wonder what Douda will think of that? Not to mention, how is Douda gonna deal with Victor releasing that tape? I agree that it’s unrealistic with that girl managing Myesha rap career. I thought Tiffany was gonna snap on Keisha too at the PTA meeting. Lol. Kevin hasn’t been paying rent nor contributing to the household expenses(except when he gave them a roll of money when confronted), yet he think he can go live off on his own? Minors can’t sign contracts so where is he going to live? Although he seemed adamant about it, maybe by next season, we will find he waited until he turns 18y and has a job to show legit income. I thought it was sweet that Darnell bought them a house. So that other lady he used to live with, with all those kids, is that going to be a problem later in their marriage? The fact that the storyline has circled back around to Douda investing in a young black man’s business (Emmett) as a means to launder his money and move drugs is disappointing. Especially when Emmett finally seems to be making an effort to be responsible. I mean I don’t mind The Chi going back to being grimy, but dont mess up Emmett in the process. Lastly, why did my heart jump when I heard the keys hit your door?😳😂 When you said wait its my coworker, I was like ok.😂 Thanks for the review Ashley
Disappointing finale. Nothing made me think, I can't wait until next season. TBH I watch your review just to watch you blush over Douda because I'm feeling the same thing
I was NOT feeling that casket makeup that they put in Jada. They do act older. That old school Auntie burgundy lipstick is what really aged her because people can pull off grey hair with a youthful face, without looking older.
How are they going to age Jada and not Emit, didn’t she have him as a teen? Isn’t Emit and Keisha around the same age and Keisha is in her first year of college. Math ain’t Mathing.
I'm not feeling the direction of the series, it's lost the grittiness of the 1st 2 seasons!!!! It's really turned into a Black soap opera with all the relationships drama!!!
I’m sorry but I do not care for Jada and Darnell’s relationship. I don’t care for that man. Oh and yes he does have a million children - and a few very young too. Thought he has sister wives in the beginning! Yes where are those children - what is that dynamic with this who relationship…
Season finale was BORING!! No excitement ni cliffhanger nothing mostly everything wrapped up nicely with a big bow wrapped around it i expected more smh only person that died was Q?? Excuse me? Nahh we deserve better!!
I thought the same thing! Like it didn’t really leave us with much to ponder on as to what’s going to happen next season, which I hope there is.
After I watched this episode, I saw so many people on Twitter saying it was great and I was like, "did we see the same episode?!" Thanks for assuring me I wasn't going crazy, Ashley.
Otis offering to help Emmit is like Deja Vu. Otis (Doo Da) made a similar offer to "Brandon" with his food truck.
They should've continued that story like the moment Brandon was in the ground, not brought it up 3 seasons later with Emmett
I didn't like Emmett mom look on her wedding she looked like shug Avery on the color purple them flower headband I wish the didn't make her look like she old lady.I like how Emmett brought Keisha that art piece that she liked at the art gallery but other than that yes it was boring they couldn't done better Idk how they renew for season 6 and pvalley which was lit the whole season hasn't gotten renew yet
🤣🤣🤣 I though I was the only one that didn’t like jada’s headpiece she wore at the wedding (nor the wig) 😩 it ages her and not in a good way
🤣🤣🤣
I need them to find her look. She either looks old, trying to hard, or something.
Yes I couldn't get with that grandmother headpiece she was wearing. This is your wedding day girl do better 😄
😭😭🗣🗣
Now why was Victor campaigning all season to get no where, shoulda moved all of the story lines up instead of dragging it out
I feel you Ashley! I have been saying I need more street stuff since Ronnie left 😎
I think the writers on here forgot that Darnell had other kids.
I'm not feeling the blended family stuff with Emmett, Keisha and Tiffany especially since Keisha and Emmett are not married.
Kevin don't need to be trying to move out, if he know what I know about trying to make a dollar out of $.15! 😎😎
This felt like a series finale, I agree
The fact that Darnell can afford to buy a house with all those kids and child support. I know he said he saves money though. Hmmm what kind-of job does he have?👀👀
I get exactly what you are saying. The show is not giving or representing Chicago accurately. I often feel like I’m watching a teenage drama show.
The whole Rob being Q’s nephew made sense of why Rob was so laid back when Tiffany was so obsessed with meeting the “plug” and she was terrified after and Rob just laughed it off.
Kevin gonna move in with trig and Jake. He gonna take shaad basement room lol
To be honest, I don't know where The Chi is going. This is a totally different show from its origin. We been hanging on but I need more from the writers. I feel like I've been left without a climax... At this point, I can take it or leave it.
It’s not just you , this season is giving. . . Too good to be true . It’s like they took toxic situations and made them look . . Like it was evolved and high vibrational but it’s not it’s very much messy so let’s see the mess . I guess I was just looking for something more realistic
Dre was in the yoga set. She had to remind her that ‘if I gave YOU another chance, there hope anyone’
They brushed over that like they went to counseling and they good. Um no.
Season 5 was okay they need to get back to the roots of the show
they dragged to many storylines that we either predicted the outcome so it really didn't matter
Why didn't Jake say anything to Victor about Nuk about to shoot him thinking it was Victor
Bingo 🎯
Poor writing
That was the finale !?!?! 😂😂😂
I couldn’t tell … oh wow. I don’t want another season of Trig and ol’ girl! And Gemma’s dad needs to grow a pair!!!! He let that girl do anything! Traci need to let Douda go 🥴 she wana be in love so bad she don’t even care if he’s a fkn monster and MARRIED. I love Keisha and Emmett together, and I was so happy for Shad. I hope season 6 is more exciting than this season. 😒
I'm so sick of Tracy....I can't put my finger on exactly what it is that bothers me about her character
Douda investing in Smokey's reminded me of Douda wanting to invest in Brandon's food truck business
I felt like they tried to pack too much in and it was a lot of going back and forth between all the story lines way too often. I felt like the ending was blah...I would've preferred a cliffhanger or something more major. Kevin irritated me although Nina does work my nerves. I'm sick of Jada's hair please moisturize it next season....I need Nina and Dre to have more of a storyline next season instead of boring online therapy sessions. Lenae is gorgeous but no matter the mood or scene her personality and reactions are the same. Like dang...we need some umph and character growth... ok I'm done lol
This season was all over the place. Felt like it was written by 3 different undergraduate creative writing cohorts. And they had Jada looking sickly.if it comes back I hope she isnt sick.
Them bodies are going to drop next season It's going to be on and popping
I think so too
I was not feeling it either not good finale
I hope Emmit doesn’t just sign paperwork and gets a lawyer. Franchising Smokey’s COULD work in his favor but he needs an iron clad contract.
Douda is going to screw him no matter what
A lot of people are saying that he’s to easy on Jemma
All I was thinking was smiling faces tell lies... the whole episode and beware, beware of the handshake. I love the chi. And I did not know Iman was on twenties I need to watch that show!
I didn't care for it either Ashley u said everything I felt watching the episodes
Babe I had to come back and comment when that door opened lol 😂
I think this season was good, the calm before the storm. Next season, characters like Duda and Nuk etc are going to take it back to the original essence of the show (gritty street, extortion, etc). We'll see. I will be watching!
This season wasn't it!!! I'm mad I watched the finale because I was looking for something big and it never happened. We need new writers.
I was disappointed 😞 Duda showed that monster side again.
How did you like the unexpected relationships that came out of nowhere! Like the weed guy related to OG
The pause got me crackin up 🤣🤣🤣
I hated that damn headpiece Jada had on at the wedding!!
It seems that Victor semi came out. He came to terms with the Truth. Kev will not be emancipated. Bakari saved Jake's life, which is good...... This feel as a final series..
Exactly but I will say Ashley you were right on with the prediction with Kevin for sure. But this finale did not wow me but you can see what is going to happen next season. I did like that yoga scene and Dre was there. Darnell do scare me because now he is so happy… I was like don’t have a heart attack or something😂
I HATE THAT JIMMA NOT ROCKIN HER NATURAL HAIR ANYMORE
Agreed✊🏽
I honestly think this entire season, is a prelude to drama on what will be happening next season, because usually shit goes down in the season..
I’m cleaning and not looking at my screen while listening to you…. But let me tell you Ashley, when I heard those keys unlock that door. I grabbed my phone so quick to see who tf was tryna get in. I’m like I know she ain’t let nobody move up in there without telling us first 😩🤣😂
I really enjoyed the episode and season. It did feel like they were wrapping up, just in case they didn’t get another season.
I know the series started out grittier, but I’m cool with the evolution of the show. Did we always know Rob was Q’s nephew? Anywho, I’m looking forward to season 6 🙌🏾
I agree with you to a certain point. You should have some growth. But if you gon call it The Chi, you gott show the real Chicago
You are hilarious. She greyed early. Some people are fully grey in their 20s. It’s her natural hair.
This episode wasn't finale worthy!! It was a cute episode. But now a wow finale episode
I think the seasons we are getting from the shows this year were filmed during Covid and maybe they didn’t know if they would be filming again so they have been ending the shows as if it’s not renewing. I just hope this upcoming year we get back to how the shows use to keep us on our toes each episode.
This season was filmed a few months ago
I'm so mad that they are supposed to be my age!! Jada and them.. I hate how they have jada looking
So I’m getting ready to show my age…the actress that plays Jada was in a music video called “You should be here “ by Rafael Sadiiq and D’ Angelo she was the love interest
Thanks 👍🏾👍🏾I agree with you about the show 💯💯💯
Agreed, this finale need to be a lil more grimmy
Good review. For me the episode was a let's tie & clear up all questions/holes that have been lingering. Douda is back he gave Emmett money the same as Brandon. I was surprised Emmett fell for it & took the money. Not a good look for Emmett. Also, started thinking maybe Jake & Victor are Douda's sons. Great episode.

You’ve got some young acting folks in their 40s and some people in their 40s act old as hell 😂
They just trying to set it up for the next season…no cliffhangers no tearjerkers. 6/10
My thought exactly Ashley this season and finale was disappointing 🙄I love your reviews!
This season finale was very anticlimactic. The Douda part was the main cliffhanger In my opinion
Whole season was a bore 😴
The actress who plays Jada, Yolanda Ross, is actually 48 in real life. That may be her real hair that is gray.
It's is.
Congratulations on the the new home
Maybe they thought it was series finale, just dull and ok🤷🏾♀️ i miss the thug life 😂😂😂 sorry imma bird lately when Brandon, Reg, and that lady cop I was glued baby! And this is the Chi we need real deal Chicago don’t play
Love your new place! You are glowing with even more great vibes.🥰
Ashley! U be on the clock doing the videos I'm dead!
Rashad going to be homeless!!!
Miss Ashley, You could not be more correct. When the Chi first started, it was hardcore and gritty. You had to say damn a lot.

I don’t know why they do Jada hair like that either 😉have a great weekend!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s my coworker
Tracy truly has it going on shes so blind
Writers should’ve let Keisha give that baby up made no sense
The show started off with an edge that has been dulled over the past few seasons. There is no escaping it. It's the street life made by Disney. I am hoping that Emmett and Tiff's boyfriend link up next season to off Douda once they get off the ground and then clash to see who is going to run the "organization" after he's gone. I don't like the fact that no one we cared about died and terrible as that sounds.
Emmitt bought that painting with the money he got from Duda.
He bought the painting from the art gallery as am investment episode 9
IMO, they rushed through this season finale. Made me wonder if the series is done because it was like they went outta their way to wrap up every storyline. I didn't enjoy this one at all. Maybe they need a new writing room. 🤷🏾♀️

Perhaps next season will...
How are they going to age Jada and not Emit, didn’t she have him as a teen? Isn’t Emit and Keisha around the same age and Keisha is in her first year of college. Math ain’t Mathing.
I loved this episode. Hell we need some happy endings.
My exact thoughts!
Lena Waithe hasn’t written for this show since 2020
The show just haven’t been good since the first two season’s .🤷🏽♀️
I don't know why but Kevin's money seemed a little low. How much of that 25K tournament money is he getting?
Given that he’s on a team and they split the money amongst the team…
I think old girl is going to be pregnant
I'm not feeling the direction of the series, it's lost the grittiness of the 1st 2 seasons!!!! It's really turned into a Black soap opera with all the relationships drama!!!
I’m sorry but I do not care for Jada and Darnell’s relationship. I don’t care for that man. Oh and yes he does have a million children - and a few very young too. Thought he has sister wives in the beginning! Yes where are those children - what is that dynamic with this who relationship…
The writing in the past two episodes seemed
disjointed
Imma need more action in the Chi is too soft and I'm not feeling it
The last 2 seasons been boring wit no action
