Since the hurricane, New Orleans has undergone a number of changes. The city has been rebuilt and renamed “New Orleans City Limits” in honor of the victims and their families. The city also created a Recovery Authority to help businesses and individuals recover from the aftermath of the hurricane. Additionally, New Orleans has made a number of strides in its economy, including becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in Louisiana.
This is a well-made, thought-provoking film that takes a different approach to the genre. It’s not about saving the world or anything like that. It’s about the characters and their relationships and how they cope with the events of five days.
Apple’s latest drama, “New Orleans,” is an unflinching and gut-wrenching reality check into the horrors that took place during the days during and the weeks following Hurricane Katrina. ..
The series follows the story of Memorial Hospital, a large, expensive hospital in New Orleans that was the scene of a mass shooting in 2015. The hospital was also the focus of an investigative effort into 45 patients who died after being admitted there. Five Days begins with the tragedy that took place at Memorial Hospital and ends with the investigation into what happened to those patients.
The showrunners on “The Good Place” seem to be trying to do too much with too little time. The first few episodes were strong, but the show has lost its momentum and stutters over the finish line, with some questionable tonal and pacing choices late on – not to mention a focus that wanes between different protagonists, muddying the message this show was trying to put out in the first place.
The show quickly establishes itself as one of the most gripping and suspenseful dramas on television. The first 5 episodes are packed with action, heartache, and mystery. The characters are well-drawn and the story is compelling. It’s hard to put down and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next few episodes.
The final three episodes of " Memorial Hospital " feel like two different shows crammed into one, with the focus shifting from the doctors and nurses inside Memorial Hospital to the investigators outside. This tonal clash does not mesh well together, making the series feel a little uneven.
The first half of this series is great. This is as intense as any disaster movie, with scenes that wouldn’t be amiss in something like Dante’s Peak or Twister. Unlike those movies though, there’s no cheesy one-liners or flying cows. Instead, this is very much a grounded, gritty and absolutely gut-wrenching account of the horrors these men and women in New Orleans had to endure.
The footage at the start of each episode is a reminder of how New Orleans was left to fend for itself after the Katrina disaster. It shows the desperation and isolation that many people faced, with no one helping them. This footage also echoes back to the struggle that we all face even now, with the rich and poor divide growing ever-more prevalent and causing communities to be ripped apart as a result.
The city’s residents have long been asking themselves what they could have done to prevent the tragedy. Some say they should have been more vigilant, while others say that they were just unlucky. But in the end, it’s up to each individual to answer that question.
The showrunners seem to have decided that the focus should be on the investigators outside of New Orleans, and this is a shame because Anna Pou is one of the few constants that stitches these two time periods together. The footnotes and minor characters in the first 4 episodes are all forgettable, and it’s hard to follow what’s going on when there’s so much else onscreen.
AppleTV’s Five Days At Memorial is another decent addition to the Apple TV roster, despite its late series wobbles. This could have been one of the best had it managed to remain tonally consistent from start to finish, but despite that there’s enough here to like all the same. This is a harrowing and emotionally charged biographical drama that’s well worth a watch.
