NCIS: New Orleans

Different city, cast and plot lines. Quit comparing apples and oranges. What I like about this and the other franchises is that it also focuses on the individual team members - otherwise, it would be the same thing every week.

I feel that the actors make this spin-off the show that it is. Scott Bakula is a great leader for the NCIS: New Orleans crew and Lucas Black makes the show even better knowing he is actually from Alabama. Lucas Black plays a great part and stay's to his roots of the south. A lot of people complain about this spin-off but I feel it is just as good as the original NCIS. People from New Orleans love there town and the actors of this show make it seem like they love it as well which makes the show authentic in my opinion. It's a great watch for anyone that loves New Orleans and loves NCIS.

I love all the NCIS shows,

but the new girl on NCIS New Orleans I can do without,

don't like her at all. It's really hard to watch now,

she is taking over the show to cocky. If she stays on the show I don't think I will continue to watch.. .sorry.

Need to bring in someone that is not a know-it-all, let Pride still be in charge I really like the other cast members. Need to continue without bringing in somebody that don't fit and try to change everything. Bring back the other girl she fit in perfect with the cast, not like this girl they brought in.

Take a lousy plot and try and make up for it by making your main character a guy that loves to cook creole food and plays in a jazz band. Drop lots of street and neighborhood names and generally WAY too much "culture" and what do you get? NCIS New Orleans. Oh, and make sure you include street violence and a corrupt politician. The crooked politician and trumpeter are WAY overplayed. I'm from NOLA and I hoped this would at least be close to as good as the original NCIS. Instead it tries to play off the fame of the original and America's fascination with our unique culture to make poor writing sell. But then trying to use exaggerated cultures of various cities to sell lousy writing is an old game.

As a New Orleans native I implore you and the writers to walk down any street in New Orleans and talk to a LOCAL. We DO NOT eat shrimp and grits for breakfast and praline bacon isn't in our fridge. We have worked very hard to come back from Katrina and it PAINS ME that this series (which I love and watch regularly) is making us look like uneducated loud mouth pigs. Please - come uptown and take a census of LOCALS, have a LOCAL help you with the dialect!! We DO NOT talk like that unless your're from Mississippi. PLEASE! I LOVE my city and would LOVE for the series to continue and for us New Orleanians to sound like the intelligent up and coming tech community that we are! Thank you!
