Do the show Chicago PD that aired for the second time on Wednesday, is that show filmed in Chicago?

Yup. There's a guy who does a website showing where all of the scenes were filmed- Filming Locations of Chicago and Los Angeles: Chicago PD

He does it for Chicago Fire as well, among others.

Since, I'd say August or so... my street has been shut down multiple times for filming of Fire and PD. I live in Pilsen where a good amount of filming happens. I can admit though, it can be a pain ;-)

I haven't seen the show yet (not really my type of show), but I'm curious how Chicago is portrayed. Do they mostly show ghetto scenes with high crime, or do they have a good mix of locations?

They also do quite a bit of soundstage/interior work at the new soundstage complex on the SW side .. That's a good add for more money spent here beyond just the exterior shots .

They are TV shows , so there's some geographic license taken . They seem to mix it up , but I've never heard of them shooting in a really bad area . I've seen the West Loop, Pilsen , Hyde Park, some North Side shots , a few bridge events downtown . It truly is a 'citywide' firehouse ( see geographic license comment above) . They respond to calls all over the city that aren't huge alarm events .
