“Chicago P.D.,” 10 p.m., NBC. For Kim (Marina Squerciati), here’s a potent hour on two fronts. At home, she’s working on adopting a sweet and troubled girl whose mother was murdered. At work, she and other cops start with a body that landed on a car, then get into something much bigger. It’s a solid story and “P.D.” the best of NBC’s three Chicago shows does it well.
“Chicago Med” and “Chicago Fire,” 8 and 9 p.m., NBC. These other Chicago shows are no match for the crisp “P.D.” hours. Tonight’s “Fire” has a desperate attempt to save a girl who’s held captive; it holds our attention IF we can forgive the fact that it’s built around the girl’s refusal to give her name. But “Med” takes unethical behavior to an extreme, soap-opera style. One doctor has already stolen drugs … another forces a nurse to do surgery … and even an administrator misbehaves terribly.
