I’ve only watched the first five minutes so far, but I just need to say:
ALL SOUTHERN ACCENTS ARE NOT ALIKE!!!
That overblown drippy southern magnolia honey-chile accent that all actors and actresses assume to be the default “southern accent’ is NOT universal, and especially not in Louisiana–much less NORTH Louisiana. Gah!
I wish it wasn’t so frickin’ rare for a southern accent to be portrayed accurately according to what part of the south the show is supposed to be set in.
Sigh.
D’OH! I had heard that was on. I was supposed to go to a friend’s house (who has HBO) and watch it but have been sidelined with a cold.
Bah. Other than the accents, how was it?
