To early to really tell, but M2C so far is that the series is a little too sentimental. I know that is likely to be what the creators have in mind, but so far it's missing some of the elements I enjoyed watching in 'The Wire' and 'Generation Kill' -- particularly the edge and the occasional bits of humor (dark or otherwise). I like the musical cameos, esp. the scene with Coco R on the OZ. The Problem With Davis McAlary Zahn's character, however, is being underutilized as a comical foil -- he should be a NOLA version of Rob Flemming, the record store owner of Nick Hornby's 1995 novel "High Fidelity" with perhaps a dash of Ignacious-like conviction of his views on musical genius. He can and should be the clown/jester of the show.
