I love the show at the beginning. I am from the south and love the scenery of New Orleans and knew it well. It was like the main character was the city with the characters part of it. Love the main characters, they completed the scene. It was great stories in an uniquely American background. They entered melodrama, Pride became a neurotic controlling character and everything centered around him. No more New Orleans , too little of other major characters and down the ratings went. Makes me sad to see it die what could have been.
