Die Coming-of-Age-Serie „The Chi“ von Lena Waithe („Master of None“) dreht sich um eine Handvoll Charaktere aus der South Side von Chicago. An einem durchschnittlichen Tag gehen hier Kinder zur Schule und ihre Eltern zur Arbeit, junge Erwachsene versuchen ihrem Traum zu folgen und die Älteren sitzen auf ihrer Veranda. Doch in dieser Nachbarschaft drohen auch schlimme Gefahren, die einen Traum schnell zum Platzen bringen können, und die einfachsten Entscheidungen zum Tode führen können. Dabei werden alle Lebenslagen abgebildet: von Glück und Heiterkeit über Wut und Trauer, Normalität, Familienleben, aber auch Verlust und Diskriminierung.
