Reply #5: Unrealistic it wasn't. At least [View All]

not in the way we've come to expect from a tv show. It was gritty, set in the post Katrina period, nontypical main character (black cop) lives in the "upper" 9th Ward among many still empty homes. He's trying to get his wife to come back to NO, but she wants no part of the city, describing the situation with the schools, and so on.

Opening sequence was lengthy footage of a couple of boats slowly going through the flooded streets. I thought at first I had stumbled across a reshowing of Spike Lee's documentary.

First scene had a cop describing how he had just shot a dog. His partner was disgusted, until the dog shooter told him he had to, because the dog was chewing on a body in the water.

No, this one is not like the others. At least not the pilot.
I totally agree with the OP.

Wat.
