''[[The Chicago Code]]'' is an American crime drama television series set, [[Captain Obvious|unsurprisingly]], in [[The Windy City]]. Follows Detective Jarek Wysocki, his new partner Caleb Evers, and Police Superintendent Teresa Colvin as they try to take down the Chicago Political Machine created by Alderman Ronin Gibbons. Other characters include Wysocki's niece Vonda, [[In the Blood|also a cop]], and her partner Isaac Joiner as well as Liam Hennessey, an undercover cop in [[The Irish Mob]].

The show premiered on February 7, 2011 on [[FOX]], and [[Too Good to Last|lasted only one season]].

 

* [[Bald Black Leader Guy]]: Gibbons is a nefarious example.

* [[Black and Gray Morality]]

* [[Dead Star Walking]]: {{spoiler|Manny Montana as Antonio}}

* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]: Gibbons.

* [[Dirty Business]]:

** Liam, in "O'Leary's Cow"

** how Jarek and Teresa get the brothel videos in "The Gold Coin Kid"

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: the drug boss in "Black Hand and the Shotgun Man" {{spoiler|lets his wife and 7-year old son go into witness protection so his son won't grow up in the drug trade}}.

* [[Fake American]]: Jason Clarke (Wysocki).

* [[Fake Ultimate Hero|Fake Ultimate Villain]]: Doubly averted. In "Pilot," Gibbons does everything he can to drop hints that he rules the city because he's so ruthless. In the second episode, "Hog Butcher," though, we meet Hugh Killian and it seems {{spoiler|Gibbons can barely keep the mob from killing him}} and Killian is the real [[Big Bad]]. Then, in the very next episode ("Gillis, Chase & Babyface") Gibbons {{spoiler|plants kiddie porn in Killian's house, then has the cops raid the place and arrest him, then uses the threat of a prosecution for possession of child pornography as leverage to get back in control.}} At the end of the day, Gibbons is the [[Big Bad]] after all.

* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Wysocki and Evers are given permission to take whatever case they want, both allowing them to always get the best cases and lampshading that the leads on cop shows always get the best cases.

* [[Large and In Charge]]: Gibbons. (Delroy Lindo is 6' 4")

* [[Mafia Princess]]: Killian's daughter, naturally. {{spoiler|Unlike most examples, she is fully involved in her dad's activities, she manages his money}}.

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Gibbons, with respect to the "unofficial mayor of Chinatown"--and quite a few other people

* [[Not So Different]]: More than once, the cops refer to CPD as a "gang" or "the biggest gang in town".

** Liam, in "O'Leary's Cow," when he sees {{spoiler|a body being removed from the house he torched}}, and twice in "Black Hand and the Shotgun Man" when Gibbons {{spoiler|takes him to meet the family of the arson victim}} and later when he realizes {{spoiler|Gibbons knows he was the arsonist}}.

** Hugh Killian, in "Gillis, Chase & Babyface," when he realizes it was {{spoiler|Gibbons}} who planted the {{spoiler|kiddie porn}} in his garage.

** "Greylord & Gambat" is basically an hour of Liam doing this

* [[Scenery Porn]]: The show is full of beautiful shots of Chicago.

* [[Smug Snake]]: {{spoiler|Gibbons}} in the final episode. Though to be fair, how WAS he supposed to know that {{spoiler|Jarek's dead brother kept files on him}}?

* [[Taking the Bullet]]:
