I completely beloved this podcast episode; I’m so glad that we discovered about Merlin. We’ve got heard quite a bit about him in earlier episodes and it was nice to lastly get to listen to from him.
It was so cool to study that the bullpen is designed utilizing inspiration from completely different police stations to make it as genuine because it may very well be, ever for the reason that first episode of Chicago PD it has all the time appeared like an actual location.
I’ve all the time questioned why the boars head hangs within the bullpen, it’s so unbelievable how a lot element they pack into such a small space by honouring actual life areas just like the Ira’s bar that was an actual bar for cops.
Listening to Merlin and Luce speak about making the present as genuine as doable was so intriguing, they each have loads of ardour in direction of making the present really feel actual to not solely the followers however to the solid when they’re within the area working too.
I really couldn’t consider that round 70% of the present is definitely filmed out and round Chicago, it’s actually uncommon that almost all of filming takes place not on a sound stage. This episode actually confirmed how a lot arduous work goes into making the present pretty much as good as doable for the followers and it actually does repay.
