Q: I love Chicago P.D. and I'm looking at some of the earliest episodes. The music (by Atli Orvarsson) at the end of the shows is so powerful. Why did they stop using it on the new episodes?

Award-winning Icelandic composer Atli Orvarsson's music was all over "Chicago P.D.," and indeed all over Dick Wolf's other two "One Chicago" properties ("Chicago Med" and "Chicago Fire"). At least it was until recently. He's still being used on "Med," but he disappeared from the other two in early 2018.

"Deep State" has not been canceled, but Mark Strong has.

It's become something of a trend among prestige dramas to write out their seemingly unkillable main characters (see, for example, "True Detective," "Fargo" and, of course, "Game of Thrones"). Nonetheless, it still came as a surprise to fans when [slight spoiler alert] Mark Strong's character seemed to have been written off at the end of "Deep State" Season 1.
