"Saw the original movie which was pretty good and thought when USA Network brought it to tv on Sunday nights that it would be a hit. But it barely made it two seasons? Good cast with Tony Crane as Remy McSwain, young Lesile Bibb(season 2), and Barry Corbin and shot entirely in New Orleans!! Poor storylines(killer for most series)might have been it's down fall? Remember, USA Network was still young and trying new things(a lot of Canada produced but set in U.S. shows)to make a footprint. The show needed to be just as "gritty" as the city it was in to survive but it wasn't?? Glad to see some of these short-lived shows come to dvd just to see some of the actors (Lesile Bibb-"Talladega Nights", Robert Knepper-"T-Bag" in "Prison Break" for one) who would go on to bigger stuff. But if you like seeing New Orleans, you'll really love this show!"
