This thread seems to have been started with a "negative comment" about a show that has not aired yet.

That's not the true code. It's 312

This is actually pretty cool. We have a bunch of friends who worked on it and boy did they need the work. It was filmed using lots of Chicago costumers and sound and technical people.

Well, I may try to tune in at least for the fun of IDing location scenes.

My reaction was to the description of the characters and premise . . .it looks like another warped west coast/Hollywood idea of what Chicago is like. Which, under some circumstances can be kind of fun if taken far enough to the bizarro . . . does anyone remember the Kevin Bacon movie Stir of Echoes? It was fun in that way . . . they did some cool things like create a beautiful, completely authentic looking "Logan Square Metra Station", and lots of Chicago bungalow facing; and every shot showing what Chicagoans do in their leisure time had them standing around underneath El tracks drinking Old Style from a keg in the street :-)

One day, after work, I was riding my bike home and thought I'd stop at the Skylark for dinner. Alas, it was closed because they were filming there.

That train station was amusing. ;-) But the rest of the post seems accurate. I'll be under the wellington stop today. ;-)

I look forward to the show, too. I even like to watch bad shows and movies with Chicago as the setting. I'm no film maker and kinda want to live in the sticks on a farm, but dang. We live in a VERY beautiful place.
