can't find that flippin' 'new shows' thread anywhere... anyone seen it?
anyway, has anyone watched or been watching Tremé? its a ten parter from the guys who wrote The Wire, set in new orleans - or more specifically the tremé neighbourhood of new orleans - a few months after the floods. it features a few characters trying to rebuild, or carry on with, their lives and a lot of music. in fact, the music is probably the central theme of the whole thing as the defining aspect of the new orleans identity.
the guy who played Bunk in the wire is in it, as is the guy who played lester freeman, as is the ever brilliant john goodman, as is the amazingly gorgeous lucia micarelli.
its not got the amazing plot and intrigue of the wire and maybe a couple of the characters are slightly stereotypical, but its a brilliantly casted and acted drama and well worth watching.
