NCIS: New Orleans - Season 1
Agent Dwayne 'King' Pride has a team out of New Orleans' NCIS field office that is investigating crimes that affect military personnel. He's a local guy with a drive to do the right thing and constantly leads agents into the dark side of the colorful city that's a magnet for servicemen on leave.

The cast, led by veterans Bakula and Pounder, is excellent, and the setting is even more enticing than the ones explored in the other NCIS properties.

The series shows off New Orleans and Bakula, who takes a pleasing, no-bull approach to the role.

I'm saying it's weirdly tone-deaf and dumb. It takes a lot of gall to turn one of America's best cities into window dressing.

There's a Crescent City flavor here. But in the larger picture, not much on this menu is unfamiliar.

The pilot leans cartoonishly on the local color -- it takes only until the third scene for Bakula to mention his gumbo -- to make sure we understand how things are different down in the Tremé (and adjacent neighborhoods).

NCIS: New Orleans is the equivalent of a hand-me-down jacket that's already been worn by two older brothers. By that point, it's stretched out, faded and threadbare.

Should you watch? If you you're a fan of NCIS, absolutely.

It's the strong sense of family within the team that's going to keep viewers coming back. These are nice people, and despite the unpleasantness of what they do, it's nice to spend time with them. And that is the key to a successful crime procedural.
