From the creators of The Wire comes a new series about adversity and the human spirit, set in New Orleans, in the aftermath of the greatest man-made disaster in American history. Ordinary people - musicians, chefs, residents - find themselves clinging to a unique culture and wondering if the city that gave birth to that way of life still has a future.

Treme: Season 1 review by Sortilege
Thought I'd died and gone to Wild Magnolia heaven...

The only folk who won't like Treme are those with
a) cloth ears
b) an objection to sex and profanity
c) no interest in New Orleans culture, or in any other culture but their own.
So if you don't fall into the above categories, may I recommened this absolutely wonderful series, (pronounced Tre-may). David Simon, a flaming genius in my grumble opinion, has applied the same production, writing, directing and acting values as he did with The Wire to this story of the Crescent City after hurricane Katrina (August 2005). Only this time you have WONDERFUL music as well. Assorted luminaries including Elvis Costello, Dr John, Alain Toussaint, Steve Earle (who has a big-ish part) and heaps of jazzers and blues artists pop up playing and singing. The playing is superb, once you get used to the vernacular, with so many stand out actors that it's impossible to choose one over another. My one complaint is that it's not long enough, and we'll have to wait months for season 2. A companion piece would be Spike Lee's When the Levees Broke, one of the best documentaries I've ever seen, and I've seen tons of them.
