Plot outline
Inspired by the feature of the same name, The Big Easy aims
to re-create the steamy, sexy vibe of Jim McBride's 1987
film and its New Orleans setting for the small screen.
All things considered, these 22 episodes from the first
season do a decent job of it. This is not a show that
relies much on storytelling; the plots, all of them
involving murder mysteries, tend to be pedestrian and
obvious, although "Snakebit," in which victims are
dispatched by an enormous python, is a notable exception.
The emphasis is more on the characters, including pre
Katrina New Orleans and its distinctive lingo, neighbor-
hoods, and music. As for the folks who populate the
Crescent City (which might as well be called "The Big
Sleazy," considering that everyone is on the make in one
way or another), the good guys include veteran Barry Corbin
as Remy's boss, Capt. C.D. LeBlanc, and Eric George as
trumpeter-police informant Smiley Dupree, while others run
the low-rent gamut from crooked politicians and snaggle-
toothed bayou boys to transsexual prostitutes and bookies
with names like Automatic Slim. The principals, as in the
film, are smooth-talking, rule-bending Det. Remy McSwain
and his love interest, government attorney Anne Osborne.
Ripper's notes
A US series from an NTSC DVD done at 24.975 fps. Not what
one would expect, but after playing around with this for a
while, this is what our leading video engineers came up
with. The awfull blends on the DVDs are almost completely
removed in our release, and overall motion is smooth at ~25
fps. The DVD must have been mastered from a blended PAL
source... (Is that even legal?!?) As scene changes break
the fairly exotic pattern quite often, some dupe/missing or
slightly blended frames are left in, but we are pleased to
bring you a generally decent looking rip of this hot series.
