    Even when I love Scott, it feels the same old tv series ambiance, same scheme, is predictable, same stereotypes, acting not that much believable, it feels disconnected... It Leaves nothing to go back and check for the next episode

    These shows are so predictable, I swear they're written by computers. Why even bother hiring actors? Let's all marvel at the non-existent technology for 60 minutes. Death to all the CSI shows.

    Love Scott bakula but he needs to develop his character as a team leader not their best friend. The actress playing the ME is a joke. Enough said about her. The rest of the cast is also pretty weak and just doesn't fit in New Orleans. I lived in that city and I still can't believe the show is set there. Writers get to work!!!

    I am a fan of NCIS. NCIS New Orleans is boring. The characters are trying too hard to play off one another-now chemistry. The girl-what's her name-told everyone she has a black belt in Akita-or whatever. Wow. That
    s make her studly. I do like the nerdy dude-he's cool.

    Really like the storylines, especially Scott Bakula and CCH Pounder. The rest of the characters just don't seem to meld in a good way, especially the one with the Alabama accent and the one who assists the coroner. This show definitely lacks personality chemistry with the exception of Bakula and Pounder.

    This show has problems, lack of chemistry between actors being the biggest. Zoe needs to leave, I think she is the weak link. Her acting is really bad and I'm sick of the black outfit she wears. Is she hiding a weight problem? Hate the boy haircut too.

    okay...like the setting...like the characters except for the kid from slingblade...WAY too many close ups to demonstrate the actors current emotion or response...for that reason, it's hard to watch

    the New Orleans location is the only thing thats interesting. Lucas Black and his sometimes partner r OK. Zoe McClellan is so horrible I can hardly watch.
    I keep thinking they will figure out they need to get rid of her

    It's the strong sense of family within the team that's going to keep viewers coming back.

    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 plot of the pilot, which begins with the discovery of a severed leg in a load of shrimp, is clever enough and manages to fit a lot of locations into its 40-minute hour. That time is also filled with cornball dialogue, shameless sentimentality and B-movie displays of toughness.
