Chicago P.D. 10×01 “Let It Bleed” is a return to a place we know, people we are familiar with, except with a caveat. It has to set up something that makes very little sense, storytelling-wise — and it has to do so while attempting to leave the show in not just a good place, but an interesting one. In that regard, Chicago P.D. 10×01 “Let It Bleed” is a bit of a reset, one that doesn’t actually work as well as the show wants it to.
For one, because we have actually watched this show before, and know who Hank Voight is — all he is. And, of course, there’s also the fact that the first episode mainly focuses on dynamics we won’t have for long, because Jesse Lee Soffer’s Jay Halstead is leaving the show. It’s better than the alternative (Vanessa Rojas), but it’s still not great considering the one thing that makes sense is for the character to stay.
With all of that on the table, here are some teases for Chicago P.D. 10×01 “Let It Bleed”:
- As well done as the first few minutes are …they just did not work for me. At this point, it’s debatable if they will work for anyone.
- It sucks when you see a character start down a path they promised they’d never walk.
- There was one moment, with one character, that made it feel like everything was right with the One Chicago world, at least for a second.
- Little team moments just hurt right now, okay?
- Hailey Upton is always a mood, but Hailey Upton is an entire MOOD this episode.
- I have absolutely no proof the new Chief is suspect, except for the fact that I remember him from The Mentalist and therefore I do not trust him.
- There is one specific Upstead convo that is either setup or …nah, it’s gotta be setup.
- Yeah, I still like Dante Torres.
- I have never agreed with Hank Voight as much as I did at one point in this episode. It was a yes, exactly, what Voight said moment. I haven’t had many of those in my time watching this show.
- After the premiere, I can say I don’t know for sure where the Jay storyline is going, but I do have an idea of where the season is going …and I don’t know that I like it.

This episode is going to be awesome!!!!
I am very interested to see what happens next, but am disappointed that Halstead is leaving. One question, who is the new chief and the actor playing him?
Chicago PD was my favorite TV show but now it’s kind of not my favorite no more because Jay Halsted leaving it just makes me so mad and upset but I mean he just he deserves better and I’m going to continue to watch it until he’s off the show for sure off.
It sucks they didn’t do more to keep Jay Halstead. We’d all been lead to believe something would happen to Voight & Jay would be the new Voight.
It’s sucky to do your loyal fans that way. First, it was Olinsky, that was hard to swallow, now Jay. You will lose views over this. W b en Jay leaves so does my whole family
Even if Jay is leaving the show without any doubt, the show is still going to be lit simply because I believe in Dick Wolf, he has not yet let us down in any way, so I know that this season is going to be fire. I still have my boy 5021 Ocean.
I haven’t been happy with Halstead or Hailey roles. So it wouldn’t be a lost for me. One reason is Voight role (to me) being step on/tried by the two of them and Voight is being belittle and not respected by them (It’s my unit! 🤣). Hailey always running behind him but can’t handle what she run into. smh sit down somewhere or go have a heart to heart with Voight and get another position. Sorry just me.
sign no loss
Voight can do no wrong. Am sick of Upton being a mini- Voight. Love this show. Love Halstead. Can’t wait to see it!
