I watched the premiere and never tuned in again...  show won't make it past season 2 if that.

But yes, she's gorgeous.

Yeah, I saw this for what it was, propaganda, but I've watched to see how far they take it. 

This last episode was just I expected sooner or later. The question of big brother being the good guy, and the answer is yes...

Likable cast, and a spoonful of sugar.

There is actually a chance this show gets renewed, but it's on the fence.    Fox may give it another year just because they'll have gaps (Bones gone, 5 or more shows probably getting axed like Sleepy Hollow, etc).  

It's sad because the main actor is really good.   He was the best part of Weeds all those years and keeps latching onto failing projects.    He was good in a season of Tyrant on FX as well.

This new series was inspired by the 2015 New York Times Magazine article "Who Runs the Streets of New Orleans?" by David Amsden, according to APB's summary on the show's website. The article details the real story of the French Quarter Task Force, a private police squad that residents of the famed New Orleans neighborhood can summon via a mobile app. The group was founded by Sidney Torres, a wealthy entrepreneur who became motivated to help combat the city's high crime rate after his home and then the bar next door were burglarized.

Throughout the article, Amsden explores the French Quarter Task Force's methods of fighting crime, the persistence of crime in New Orleans, and the rise of private security detail in inner cities. The writer also describes the successes of the French Quarter Task Force in turning crime around in New Orleans, as well as the work that still lies ahead for the squad.

    • Agreed. I actually asked Chat GTP why are centers so important to the O-line. You'll find their response interesting. The center is absolutely critical to the offensive line, even though he rarely gets the spotlight. Here’s why: 🧠 1. He’s the “quarterback” of the offensive line The center identifies the defensive front before the snap — calling out who the “Mike” linebacker is and setting protection assignments for the guards and tackles. He adjusts the blocking scheme based on shifts, stunts, and blitz looks. In most offenses, the QB and center share communication responsibilities, but the center’s call is often what the rest of the line follows. 🗣️ Without a smart, communicative center, the whole line can fall apart under pressure or disguise. 🏗️ 2. He’s central to blocking coordination The center is literally the pivot point — coordinating combo blocks, zone steps, and double-teams with both guards. In zone-blocking schemes, he’s essential for lateral movement, reading the defensive tackle’s leverage, and passing off blocks smoothly. A poor center can destroy run-game timing or allow penetration that blows up plays before they start. ⚙️ 3. He handles some of the toughest matchups Centers face nose tackles — often the biggest, strongest player on the defense — directly over the ball. He has to snap accurately, then instantly anchor against 300+ lbs of power, often with one hand still finishing the snap motion. That’s one of the most technically demanding jobs in football. 🧩 4. He ties the line together mentally and physically The center’s ability to recognize stunts, delayed blitzes, and coverage disguises helps the entire line stay in sync. If a guard or tackle makes a mistake, the center can often help bail them out through quick adjustment calls or recovery blocks. A great center also brings leadership and stability — think of guys like Jason Kelce, Travis Frederick, or Alex Mack — they elevated everyone around them. 🔍 5. Why some teams don’t draft centers early Despite the importance, centers rarely go in Round 1 because their positional value (impact on points/wins per dollar or cap hit) is lower than QB, LT, Edge, or CB. But analytically, a great center can add similar efficiency gains to a good left tackle by reducing QB pressure and improving run-game consistency. 🟩 In short:
    • This is true. Except when it isn’t. I mean he is not consistent.  He does a lot of the same stuff he was soing in 2023. Hate to say it but I see it.  That is what I mean by internalized. It is not ingrained in him and he randomly goes back to his bad stuff - gets rattled or something. Over something. I don’t t know what triggers it but it all juat flies away and you have the plqykng scared afraid to get hit Bryce. Bails early. The failure footwork comes back, the whole deal.  That is why we have to hope he plays all the games so we can document where he really is at.  
    • easier question:  With the numbers I just listed, in his 3rd year, what is there to support?  What do you see that we arent seeing?
