The Chi (Seasons 1–8)

The Chi (2018) is a Showtime drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Created and written by Lena Waithe, it follows a web of interconnected lives on Chicago's South Side — a neighbourhood where ambition and street violence share the same block.

Brandon wants out through his own restaurant. Kevin, barely a teenager, is figuring out rules nobody taught him. When a young man from the neighbourhood is shot dead, the ripple runs through everyone — and keeps running. The ensemble cast includes Ntare Mwine, Jacob Latimore, Alex R. Hibbert, Yolonda Ross, and Michael Epps, with Rick Famuyiwa among the directors.

Now deep into multiple seasons, The Chi has built one of TV's most grounded portraits of Black working-class life in America. Stream The Chi online on iFILM.
