Well, I shall netflix them since who knows when BBCA will get up to season 5.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Lack of accents didn't bother me.
You're certainly a better judge than I am about New Orleans, so I'll try to let that prejudice go. I don't know why I'd focus on the accent with ex-con guy, when so many other things about his story made no sense unless this show is set a couple of years in the future.

Well, what about the non-accent of Boulet?

I'd waaaay rather no accent on him than attempting the 9th accent I remember. (I'm not a huge fan of that actor). Even so, accents vary so much down there, even from neighborhood to neighborhood.

I enjoyed K-ville more than I thought I would, possibly due to being informed that it was THE WORST TV SHOW EVER. I also let myself be spoiled for the reveal about Cole Hauser's character (he's the only reason I tuned in to begin with), which made the ep so much more fun as I got to see all the tells with his character that Things Aren't What They Seem.
I'm not a fan at all of the guy who plays Boulet, so I don't know if I'm not digging his character because of all the annoying parts he played in those annoying comedies (or wherever the heck it is that I saw him before).
Tawny Cypress was a nice surprise. I wouldn't mess with her character.
Did I mention Cole Hauser? I've been strangely obsessed with him since Pitch Black.
So if they keep the violence up and the lipgloss down, this could be a keeper for me.

Yeah, Anthony Anderson is battling a lot of baggage from stupid comedies but it's like Samuel Jackson says "I do Snakes on a Plane so I can do Pulp Fiction". I saw him playing a drug lord on The Wire, so I was intrigued by that.

I think Tawny Cypress will turn out to be made of awesome. The way she told Boulet his friend was dead? I think there's some hard nosed story in there.

She looked tough enough to be a cop, at least. Lots of times they don't.

The story that wasn't about the Ninth ward was Every Cop Show Ever. (The jerky cameras and regional details reminded me of Homicide of course.)I like the cop and his family, but I was kinda episode One bored by this installment. I'll watch it again, though, if Fox will let me(Cop shows take a while to build an audience, unless Reverend Wildmon protests again. Somebody get naked and say "goddamn" and trigger a boycott.)
