The shows creators, David Simon, of The Wire and Eric Overmyer, writer from Homicide: Life on the Streets, start the story in the Autumn of 2005, three months after Katrina. It depicts how the varying types of residents of the New Orleans community attempt to rebuild their lives, homes and unique culture in the aftermath of the hurricane. As with The Wire, Simon is not afraid to tell the truth, exposing the various government incompetence's: Firstly displaying that, in overall, the flooding occurred as a result of the Levee's not being strong enough to withstand such an onslaught, mainly 'coz the flood detection system had failed. Secondly: their selective re-housing; where African American home-owners were denied the right to return to their undamaged homes so that the Bush administration could clench a grubby fist around a community that would've, primarily, voted Democrat. It's sad, yet insightful and informative.
