Has anyone seen it?

Someone linked me to the opening titles (because they know I love blues/soul/jazz etc and have an affinity for N'awlins) and I loved it. I watched the first episode, and loved the flavour and music, but the story didn't quite yank me in like I wanted. Should I stick to it?

Note: I probably will watch the rest, regardless of what I'm told. But I do want to know your thoughts, and whether I should be excited for what's to come.
