i truly love the opening song,

The thing that bothers me about the opening is that it is so reminiscent of True Blood. Haven't really listened to the song itself, but the intro with the shots of South La. poverty, sex, drugs, religion, etc is very True Blood-esque. Obviously a nit-pick of a show that is amazing so far.

The only other thing I don't get is how the Chief says that MM is only there by the grace of Marty's reputation when it's clear that Marty doesn't like him and would like nothing better than to be rid of him? Why wouldn't Marty just say, "I can't work with this fricking guy," and then he's gone. Boom. No story.

To compare this show in substance to Treme or True Blood is a sin and I think the story transcends the setting, but I wonder how many people from outside of Louisiana are getting tired of south Louisiana swamp stuff. HBO needs its tax credits like anyone else, but damn.

Lastly, glassman, why you no like titties?
