Could not see a thread on this, but I am a fan, for anyone interested, Season 7 starts on Jan 4th on Sky.
Yes, the wife and I are big fans of this show. Can't believe we are so far behind the US schedules for this again, but we are pretty much only a week behind them with Chicago Med (on Universal) - the crossover episode they had a couple of weeks ago gives a big spoiler to what happens in Chicago Fire. When we were in Chicago in April last year, we watched an episode that we didn't see on UK screens until November! (we wanted to go to the film set but it was a few miles outside the town towards the "rough" end of the city...)

Oh cool. Firehouse 51, Filming location for Chicago Fire by Jim Pritchard, on FlickrMy brother in law lives in Chicago so I expect we'll be going back to visit them at some point, will have to make the trip next time then, is it not as rough as was made out? (Also need to see: Home Alone house, Home Alone 2 Toy Store)
I'm a big fan of Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. I rate both very highly and for me, PD is the best drama ever to come from the US.
Early in series 7 of Fire, series 6 of PD, and series 4 of Med, there's a double crossover to watch out for and can be a bit confusing if you don't know it's coming. In each case, it is episode 2. In order it would be Fire, Med then PD.

Chicago PD is on 5USA but the first series was repeated on Channel 5, Not sure about Chicago Fire in the UK although I've watched all episodes of both Fire and PD. It doesn't help UK viewers with the crossover episodes being on different channels or not even shown at all (Med?).
Chicago Med is on Universal Channel and is pretty much up to date with the US, maybe a week behind? Sunday nights at 9pm - Sky 113fttm said:
Really enjoy the Dick Wolf Chicago dramas , probably the only tv aside from sport and news that I watch . Typically on the double headers the networks got them in the wrong order, but was still good viewing .The Hank Voight character in PD is superb .
They’ve had at least one triple header with Chicago Fire, PD and Law & Order Special Victims Unit in New York too. That was tricky to catch all three. SAB888 said:

Found this a couple of weeks ago on Netflix. Currently on season 2 episode 13, but Netflix only has four seasons..
Really enjoying the stories and the characters.
I really think the Chicago weather adds something. It is unlike a lot of American series and films where it is always hot/sunny and everyone is in short sleeves and convertables. Here they wear a fleese, padded jackets, beenies, big coats etc you can see their breath its so cold and its sometimes snowing.

I absolutely love the Chicago Fire series, PD is also very good and Med is decent enough. I normally catch up and watch Med first while cooking dinner, and then watch PD/Fire whilst eating and then having a beer.
I know Miranda/Stella has been absent for most of the recent series but it doesn't seem like they're leaving fully. In all honesty, the past few series' have been mainly focused around that character, so it's refreshing to see other characters given the spotlight and putting the brakes on the "too woke" label the show was getting before covid.

Bit of CF trivia.
