    kill it quick - the show is BAD - new orleans doesn't need any more bad publicity - the accents are the worst - but really the whole show is a train wreck

    The media has done more to keep our city from recovering than even the government has!

    This show was very sloppy. I like the premise of two cops fighting to keep the criminals out and bring back New Orleans back. But Anderson and Hauser just don't work well together. You look at a show like Law and Order SVU and how Hartigay and Meloni work so well together, its the opposite end of the spectrum with this show. The show was very badly organized, none of the characters This show was very sloppy. I like the premise of two cops fighting to keep the criminals out and bring back New Orleans back.

The show was very badly organized, none of the characters you really care what happens to them, or does the end leave you wanting more. Which is the most important thing in a pilot.

    An Utter Disappointment. From looking at the preview, it looks like a decent cop drama that would bring many viewers in, but the show lacks good writing and good plot. The acting was a disaster and the show itself captures absolutely nothing that comes to sense.

    K-Ville's" heavy tone and sober acting capture enough of that essence to make it interesting.

    K-Ville’s co–executive producers are both cop-show veterans--Jonathan Lisco of NYPD Blue and The District, Craig Silverstein of Bones and Standoff--who know how to yank our chains with close-ups, jump cuts, booster shots of adrenaline, and low-rent noir.

    The intent seems to be baiting a drama with a tantalizing marketing hook, but the resulting gumbo--despite a few promising ingredients--is all gristle, no beef.
