Just listened to an interview with David Simon on Fresh Air. Anyone planning on tuning in? The musical Wire?
- Mimio0
I will. I usually like this team of producers/directors stuff. I love New Orleans too.

The Corner
The Wire
Generation Kill
Treme has some tough acts to follow .. but looks pretty good from the promos

its took me a few episodes but overall its a really good character study
of the Katrina aftermath. Gives a whole new perspective of the love people have for the city of New Orleans.
its not quite what The Wire was, even though half the cast is in it but its still a really good show. Steve Zahn is awesome in this.

Nice! Looks good, never even heard of this. Still not managed to get past the first few difficult episodes of The Wire, need to get back on it. Generation Kill was tremendous.
- Ramanisky20
its not an action type show .. its more of a character study of the people who are fighting to keep N.O. and its traditions & its music intact.

Just as Ramanisky2 says. A thoughtful and celebratory character study of NOLA residents post Katrina. It has a wonderful script, cast and direction - but I've seen 5 eps now and I'm still trying to get into it. I'd really like to but it hasn't hooked me yet.
For the time being I've started re-watching The Wire. Just as good the 2nd time round.

I'm surprised this show isn't talked about more in this forum..
Season 2 has really hooked me in.
Many similarities to The Wire, from the scope of storytelling to it's big cast of characters. What The Wire was to Baltimore.. Treme is to New Orleans.I highly recommend it.

i can't watch these shows during the season. i was lucky to have found out about the wire years after it ended because it was so good i was watching like 5 or 6 episodes back-to-back. treme does look good though..

Treme is nothing like The Wire. Far slower, lacks the institutional analysis. It's more like a soap opera than anything else, a really well made soap opera.
- Well it doesn't have the gang shootouts but everything else feels the same...Ramanisky2

I waited until about 8 episodes had aired then downloaded and watched back to back.. Through on-demand.

Enjoying this on Netflix.

The music is sooo good on this show. Some of the characters are better than others. I miss John Goodman's character.
I think I saw David Morse in the West Village today. (the cop)
- Found a site that has many of the original tracks .. Downloadable too.Ramanisky2
