    Please elaborate. I saw a few very brief and vague ads for it but I have no idea what it's about. Something to do with New Orleans or Dixie music?

    goddammit, I really don't want to be hooked on a new show..but if you two are posting about it, I'll probably add it to my 'to watch' list.

    I trust your tastes, fml.

    Basically it's stories of life in New Orleans a couple months post Katrina. Music plays a very big part which I'm sure will cut down on the viewership, but if you have any affinity to Jazz/Blues/Creole it's a no brainer.

    The visuals I found stunning both in good and horrible ways, and with a constant mix of local music interspersed it's a feast for the senses. From there the acting of Wendell Pierce, Khandi Alexander and Steve Zahn (yes, really......I've never been a big fan but now I believe he can act) just works in a natural progression.

    I can assure you it will not appeal to everyone but I am in.

    BTW it was announced yesterday that HBO has ordered a second season.
