only caught a few minuts of one episode..i was happy to see Wire actors..but havent gotten into it.

This show was good, and I re-watch a lot of episodes.

Its slow like Mad Men and The Corner, if people don't like these shows, you can't really take their opinions seriously.

I'm glad I caught up on this show, it's a real slow burn though :whew:

I like my broads chunky but something about Khandi Alexander and when she smokes makes me :shaq: and :noah:

I'm not surprised she left that weak butterball for Big Chief

The simpery was comedy.

I loved seeing everyone hustling, from the Chef who lost her restaurant, Big Chief's Son, that hippie couple/music duo, John Goodman's wife, and of course Antoine Baptiste. David Simon is damn near untouchable when it comes to character development and unfolding a story.

I feel like the show ended too early, I felt the first 3 seasons was mostly about developing the characters, describing New Orleans Jazz Scene, and it touched on post Katrina a little.

Ladonna was too skrong, Larry was a good dude and he took good care of the boys but they just weren't a match, you could tell she only married him because he was stable, responsible and took in her kids, he even supported her emotionally after she got raped, but they just weren't match.

How is this show?

I just wrapped up The Wire and I'm kind of a big fan of Wendell Pierce.

Worth watching?

:lupe:

Very well written. Its a pure drama, so you might not enjoy if you not into dramas. But so much happens each episode, David Simon is a genius. He keeps his usual style of juggling multiple characters.

Love drama. But I don't know much about the show or what it's supposed to be.

Its about the hustle of musicians, jazz musicians to be exact.

Its about life after Hurricane Katrina, but this is not a big part of the show.

Its about New Orleans and its people.

The character development is what makes this show so good, and their stories are interesting. First 3 seasons fly by so fast, because he spends that much time developing the characters and the story.

Season 4 is the last season, and this is when he starts to wrap up their stories.

I really love this show, its scary how this guy can capture the nature and character of people & cities.
