Burgess and Ruzek's relationship has worn the patience of viewers thin
For most of the show's nine seasons, Officers Burgess and Ruzek — known to fans as "Burzek" — have engaged in a repetitive and often maddening will-they-won't-they, and viewers have had about enough. After last night's episode, "Adrift," fans took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with the endless winding road to nowhere the couple has been on for nine seasons.
User @Olicity4life (https://twitter.com/Olicity4Life/status/1511903114164678659) is "so done with ... Adam constantly getting his heart broken." User @ellie62285157 (https://twitter.com/ellie62285157/status/1511904608343498753) agrees, saying that "you can tell they love each other, they just are scared to act on it." More than one user blamed the writing staff, with @Soribel83 (https://twitter.com/Soribel83/status/1511903843105267716) calling out "Kim's disregard for Adam's feelings, it's out of character and noone [sic] likes it! #ChicagoPd writers, do better!!" User @ebe28 (https://twitter.com/ebe28/status/1511965881542144000) thinks that "it doesn't seem the writers care or are even invested anymore for a relationship to happen."
Some fans are digging deeper into Burgess and Ruzek's inability to find harmony together, with @lizziethat (https://twitter.com/lizziethat/status/1511907219096416259) saying, "it's possible to think #Burzek has gotten inconsistent writing, that Adam is really trying and deserves a chance, and that Kim is just acting out of fear and trauma she hasn't processed."
People are still watching and enjoying the show — "Chicago P.D." earns consistently favorable IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2805096/episodes/) reviews – but viewers are clearly at the end of their collective rope with the ongoing Burzek fauxmance, and writers will have to break the characters out of their frustrating patterns to change that.
