I had no expectations going in with this show, as I'd seen no reviews or promo. What I encountered is a raw depiction of New Orleans with the good and bad so intertwined you'll never tear them apart. You sometimes can't even tell them apart!
I haven't enjoyed a drama series this much since "Homicide: Life on the Street." Baltimore was laid out for all to see in the same way, even though the editing style is completely different. I like the characters and actors, and they have a place on my DVR.
And NO COMMERCIALS!!! The ONLY reason I'm withholding one star is the overuse of profanity. Yes, I use it myself (albeit not as much as these characters), and I understand the rationale for it. There's just too much of it, in my opinion, for 10 stars. Then again, I'm really f@#*ing old! ("feeling!" what did YOU think?)
