    The show makes good use of its New Orleans setting and the script hits all the right, albeit familiar, notes.

    The cast is appealing, despite Bakula’s questionable accent.

    There's enough detail in the setting and characterization to keep it distinct from the mothership, but also more than enough of the template (down to the freeze-frame tic at the open and close of each act) to make it go down like a comforting plate of crawfish etouffee.

    The formula remains solid: A colorful, supportive work family solves mysteries with technological savvy and a dash of humor.

    [Bakula and Pounder] should make the process of watching--or chore of watching, depending on your appetite for more of this formula--just a little more agreeable.

    The result is a show that is neither ambitious nor exciting, but is now, at least, competent enough to be a decent companion for NCIS.

But this one is really poorly done. I grew up in New Orleans . . . and these people would NOT HAVE AN OFFICE in the French Quarter. The accents are awful. The frequent Quarter shoots are bogus. What the heck are they thinking? People who live in New Orleans come from all over. They would have done much better not to have these forced accents (oh, god how awful), and to use more of the city for location shoots. There are so many possible places. This comes off as less than two dimensional. Is it possible for there to be a one dimensional portrayal of something? Well, they've managed.… Full Review »

    This show has several faults beginning with the writing which is absolutely horrible. The dialogue reminds me of a grade school play. TheThis show has several faults beginning with the writing which is absolutely horrible. The dialogue reminds me of a grade school play. The actors are okay at best, but the accents are silly. The only things of merit are the plot lines which actually believable.

    Lucas Black repeatedly acts as if he has been caught by his Mom reading dirty books. Scott Bakula just does not portray an individual of authority as Agent in Charge. Zoe McLellan is the only one worth keeping, and should transfer to the D.C. unit to join Gibbs and Company.

    I'm done with New Orleans.    … Full Review »
