Yes, Neal, I agree. , I haven't seen last night's episode yet, but I keep hoping to see D.L. and his chair factory.
Or anything Cajun. It's a good series, but it always makes me mad that they don't respect the local culture if they are going to highlight it in any way in the show. Treme is much better at that, again I agree.

I have watched all the TD shows, sometimes 2-3 times, and have really been unimpressed with their depiction of Southwest LA.

It's more of a showcase for Harrelson and McConaughey to show off their respective acting talents (or lack thereof) as two mentally unstable cops called on to account for their actions.
Both their accents are 100% Texas, which is normal, 'cause that's were they're from originally.

The show also gives Harrelson a couple of opportunities to express his political viewpoint, which was a concession to him, I suppose

The only Cajun accent comes in the last episode, from the grandpere of one of the female victims, in a place called 'Pelican Island' population 200.

The bumper music makes absolutely no sense for the locale.
No reflection against T-Bone. it just doesn't sound Lou.

They chose to film a lot of the footage along either LA82 or LA315.
Makes all of Lou look like marais .

When Jo-el is on stage, he is playing some *******ized form of C&W with an accordion just along as a prop.

It's not about LA. It's Hollywood, all over again.
