The Big Easy was a cop show with a drawl and a glint in the eye.
Det. Remy McSwain, a smooth-talking ladies's man, tracked down criminals in the colorful alleyways of New Orleans. Always ready to bend the law to get things done - as was everyone else in the Crescent City, apparently - Remy met his match in uptight federal attorney Anne Osborne, who came to investigate a crime and decided to stay. Civil War buff, C. D. was both Remy's uncle and his boss on the police force. Darlene was his man-hungry co-worker. Smiley his jazzman friend and street informant, and Lightnin' the scheeming D.A., and Janine Rebbenack his protege in season two.

Critic Reviews

Lee Winfrey

May 29, 2014

Season 1 Review: It is rollicking fun. [11 Aug 1996, p.K01]

John Freeman

May 29, 2014

Season 1 Review: There are delicious slices of French Quarter partyin' and plot twists that don't seem too contrived. [9 Aug 1996, p.E-8]

Ann Hodges

May 29, 2014

Season 1 Review: There's enough humor in this escape route entertainment to bring you back for more. [11 Aug 1996, p.1996]

Lon Grahnke

May 29, 2014

Season 1 Review: "Easy" does it with sex, violence and pungent humor. It's hot and spicy, if that's your taste. [9 Aug 1996, p.51]

Tony Scott

May 29, 2014

Season 1 Review: One trouble is that Crane and Walters don't come near striking a spark; episode's final, unprepared-for scene, in which they profess a mutual declaration, goes clunk. [9 Aug 1996]

Caryn James

May 29, 2014

Season 1 Review: Atmosphere is all the series has going for it. Remy's murder investigations never become suspenseful. And the slow-burning sexual attraction between Remy and Anne works better in a film than in a series. Drawing the relationship out over several episodes, The Big Easy becomes "Moonlighting" without the wit. [10 Aug 1996, p.19]

Rene Graham

May 29, 2014

Season 1 Review: Lousy and offensive...a terrible TV take on the cinematic hit. [10 Aug 1996, p.C1]
