I think so. It's starting off surrounding the rebuilding of NOLA after Katrina, but the core of the story is still people using music to overcome the struggles of life.
the scene with Steve Zahn and Elvis Costello had me rolling. Other parts had me clapping and singing along with the music in my apartment. I love this show.
I really enjoyed watching the show. I do think it was a little slow but it was just building up the start of each character. It might become another good HBO show.
I liked pretty much everything about the show except for the white people. Seriously though, I thought the Zahn, Goodman, and Goodman's wife character were all pretty obnoxious.
This show is great. Just started watching this weekend and caught up on all the shows. "Don't mess with that Texican!"
It's pretty clear that Sonny has some major issues about trust and jealousy for Annie. I have a bad feeling about where their story is heading.
BOYFRIEND CUT UP CORPSE, COOKED IT By Brian Thevenot October 19, 2006, 3:38PM Editors note: The grisly murder of Addie Hall, 30, by her boyfriend, Zackery Bowen, 28 shocked the city and the nation. The couple had fallen in love in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and stayed in the city, living a survivalist existence and becoming the darlings of national media outlets including the New York Times. Police found out about Hall's murder when Bowen jumped off a French Quarter hotel with a suicide note in his pocket, which laid out in excrutiating detail how he strangled, cut up and cooked his girlfriend's body during a weekend that also included cocaine and booze binges. http://blog.nola.com/tpcrimearchive/2006/10/boyfriend_cut_up_corpse_cooked.html
Not sure if this link works, but someone posted this link on the Treme Facebook page. http://freetvseriesrerun.blogspot.com/search/label/Treme – Season 1
i just started watching. GREAT SHOW! i find it interesting that many of the people filmed in spike lee's "if god's willing and the creek dont rise" documentary are now also in this show. kewl.
I enjoyed The Wire, but I find New Orleans to be one of the least redeeming cities in America, and I'm not interested in a show that tries to convince me otherwise. Also, I can't stand the music with the blaring brass, it's awful.
after this one, i cant forgive fred flintstone. NSFW Spoiler <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1PcVDSz7-MM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Well, judging from results of season 2, I'd say no. Interesting characters, good cast (with the exception of awful steve zahn/DJ davis and the mopey fiddle girl), well written dialogue, but...nothing of interest happens on this show, pretty much ever. Other than showcasing obscure jazzmen, what is the point of this show? I can't figure it out. I feel compelled to watch because it's supposed to be (and actually even was, in stretches.....good) but this year it's just not.
NO is a dump, everyone knows it's a dump. It's full of drunks and helpless reprobates and fully grown children. That Goodman character is a pathetically transparent vehicle for Simon to lecture and rant at all of us for not caring enough about poor downtrodden black people. Sorry, take that guilt trip somewhere else.
