Very, very good series in my opinion! Doesn't pull any punches. Shows the good, the bad and the ugly! It's honest, at least it seems so to me as an outsider! Captures the heart & soul of those residents that will forever love their home. Series is able to show the music & N.O. culture is who they are at their core! Very compelling! Also does not hide the serious crime problem & blatant corruption at all levels. Seriously makes me want to move there if not for the violent crime! YES, I liked it!
I am particularly appreciative of the musicians we are able to
Hear and see in the first Season …some not even identified…
And the sense of actually being there!
I am also very interested in the Mardis Gras Indians and their
Tradition. I love to watch everyone strut in time to the music coming back from a funeral!
discs play fine. price was good. this is a used copy, the plastic disc holder trays broke away from the board packaging. never seen that happen before . not too concerned, tho. I put the dvds into paper sleeves. the outer box keeps them secure.
Love this show! Great characters, wonderfully engaging and filled with so much culture, spirit, and pain! With the wake of Hurricane Katrina this show encapsulates the beauty of the region and the aftermath of such devastation and how these people use food, music, tradition to show resiliency in the face of tragedy. One of HBO'S lesser known gems!
