I am a Memphis girl, born and raised. I like the general plot of this show. There is a lot of mystery and action, and the characters are pretty cool. I have no problem with the plot. But everything else is the problem! If you're going to film a show about Memphis, then it should be filmed in Memphis. The accent is completely screwed up. Everything about this show is more Cajun than anything. Yes its southern, but it captures only a few things about Memphis, Like the love of BBQ. I am pretty disappointed about this show. The accent is the biggest offense, and the second is the fact that its just not Memphis. This show depicts none of the charm of Memphis. It tries to create its own charm, instead of using the charm from the actual city and people. In my opinion, if the show continues to be filmed in New Orleans and the accents and attitudes do not change, then the name should be changed to New Orleans Beat. There isn't much authenticity and it shows plainly.
