  • Awesome series - why aren't you watching it?

    If it hasn't been stated about a 107 times already: Treme is not The Wire. Sure, it has mostly the same creative team and they share a few actors, but while The Wire has the media-sexy drug thing going, Treme tells you about... musicians? Chefs? Barkeepers? Sure, there's the aftermath of Katrina, but that's in the background.Having just watched The Wire for the nth time before starting with Treme, it's obvious that the series continues in the footsteps of it in terms of the high quality of everything: the absolutely superb acting, the sharp writing, the great directing - it's all there. There are plenty of characters (not quite the 60 something there were in the latter parts of The Wire, but enough), and every one of them has something going for them. The plotlines might appear to be non-existing at first - how much can you tell about a guy preparing a costume for a parade? - but that's deceiving. Beneath the surface there's plenty of going on. It's like following everyday life, except this one is interesting.And did I mention the music yet? I've always considered myself as a rock fan, and never had much interest in jazz or blues or anything that can be played with a trombone. But my goodness, the first episode of Treme managed to alter my music taste. Much like a big part of The Wire was the lack of music, here the music plays a huge part. And it's spot on every time.While Treme is clearly lacking a large target audience, I can't but recommend it to everyone interested in good television series. Just have an open mind (and ears) and start watching. Now.moreless

  • Difficult to Get Into

    Created by the same team that brought us The Wire I was certainly looking forward to watching Treme. I have now watched the entire first season and Treme does reproduce much of what made The Wire so great namely a well written script, interesting well realised characters and fantastic acting.



    As with The Wire, Treme can also be slightly slow in places but, where as The Wire always had the constant conflict between and amongst the criminals and law enforcement to retain viewer interest, there is no over arching story within Treme that is able to recreate what kept me hooked throughout the five seasons. I almost hate myself for saying this but I found it incredibly difficult to get into this series and, despite all the positives I mentioned, I will be unlikely to tune into the second season.moreless

  • Too slow

    5.0
    By LouisaV, Jun 08, 2011
    Interesting idea, placed in an interesting setting that a lot of viewers would like to find out more about. The acting was mostly good and casting was successful, however the plotlines really failed to grab me and I found the whole show extremely slow and not interesting enough to keep watching. It has potential and maybe it will be in better shape after a few episodes but judging from the pilot it has failed to captivate me in the way that many other shows have.

    I must give it an extra point for music though as it was quite wonderful and should be acknowledged.moreless

  • Fantastic show. Great music and acting in New Orleans after Katrina.

    8.5
    By CTGEire, May 09, 2011
    I wasn't sure when I first watched, but this is a great show. The music and cast are the best. The drama of putting the city back together after Katrina is more than enough for many seasons. But then imagine what we in the future audience know is coming in the form of the Gulf Oil Spill. It adds a perspective of even higher drama to what is already before us. For what is worse than a mother and sister finding their man 5 months dead and unidentified in an old trailer cooler, than to know that given the barest of time to heal and move on, these people and their city will be again in the middle of another catastrophe that could wipe them out. Yet you know that even then they won't stay down. You can feel it in the music. It breaks your heart and lifts your spirit all at once. It's tragic magic.moreless
