Damn, that makes me want to move back down there. I'm not sure if getting HBO is going to make me feel a little better or increase the guilt quite a bit.

One of the main cowriters for this and the last two seasons of The Wire died recently.

It's been getting good reviews (and some negative ones about the pacing), I don't know personally since I don't have HBO (got to wait for the dvd :( )

Salon : Treme' epitomizes the sort of great storytelling we all thirst for on TV but rarely find."

The New Yorker: ...it may be the bravest show that David Simon has ever made.

Entertainment Weekly : 'Treme' explodes with pleasure.

The Baltimore Sun : I'm not saying "Treme" is necessarily in a league with "The Sopranos," "The Civil War" or even "Homicide" at its best. But the pilot moved me as those productions did -- and in the world of television, that is something special."

Chicago Sun Times : But as a series, 'Treme' is a tough slog.

NPR : 'Treme,' from the start, is like one of those haunting pieces of jazz from the French Quarter. Get one taste, and you're not likely to forget it."

Boston Herald : "Unlike 'The Wire,' the pacing is lazy.

The Washington Post :Three episodes in, I'm willing to say 'Treme' (the title is two syllables; it rhymes with away) has the potential to be better than 'The Wire.'

i will watch this today.
However, my wife is from new orleans and i am debating if i want to watch it first without her, before i watch it with her. She has a habit of explaining everything new orleans, or bitching about things that seem wrong. She even did this during the 60 second trailer.

It's a cool show and it should improve as we begin to know the characters. Love the music throughout.

No discernible plot, Steve Zahn is obnoxious, but I'll give another couple episodes.

the first point you made is invalid, but I think zahn will become less obnoxious as the show goes on.
