Aha, 'only loosely.' Whatever that means.
The series is inspired, but only loosely, by a 1981 film, "Thief," directed by Michael Mann and starring James Caan. Here, the setting is a post-Katrina New Orleans, where whole city blocks are flattened and boarded up storefronts carry the hand-scrawled parting warning "looters will be shot." These crimes are organized, but the culprits are not old-style mafiosi. Bodies are left to rot in the bayou, not city dumps.
