Looks Like Fans Will Never Forgive Chicago P.D. for Killing Off This Legend 

Any TV show enthusiast knows the pain of losing a beloved character. It hits twice as hard when we are talking about long-running shows like Chicago P.D. The beloved police procedural had its fair share of painful deaths, but it seems like fans are still not over one particular loss: Alvin Olinsky.

A recent poll on Reddit asked fans which character's death they felt was the worst decision made by the writers. The options included Sheldon Jin, Julie Whillhite, Justin Voight, Commander Perry, Nadia Decotis, and of course, Alvin Olinsky. He scored more votes than all the other characters combined.

Alvin Olinsky, often simply referred to as Al, portrayed by Elias Koteas, was more than just a character on Chicago P.D. He was the heart and soul of the Intelligence Unit.

A seasoned detective with a wealth of experience, Al had a calm demeanor, wisdom, and deep commitment to justice. He was the kind of cop who would go the extra mile, not just to solve a case, but to ensure that justice was truly served.

Many felt that Al's departure was a significant blow to the show. His character brought a unique blend of emotion, and dynamics that resonated with many. The episodes surrounding his exit are so emotionally charged that some fans admitted to finding them hard to rewatch.

Alvin Olinsky's death was one of the most heart-wrenching moments in Chicago P.D. history. In season 5, Al was arrested for a crime he didn't commit. While in jail, Al was brutally stabbed by another inmate, and despite the best efforts of the medical team, he succumbed to his injuries.

Interestingly, some viewers appreciate the show's unpredictability. The fact that no character is truly safe adds a layer of realism and suspense. After all, life is unpredictable, and Chicago P.D. mirrors that in its storytelling.

But if there's one thing that stands out, it's the lingering impact of Olinsky's exit. And while Chicago P.D. continues to deliver gripping storylines, the void left by Olinsky remains painful.
