re: Ugh Treme is just unbearable

the main problem is that none of the storylines have shite to do with post-katrina life in new orleans EXCEPT LaDonna's brother and no one GAF about that.

restaurants fail and people get beat up by cops in new orleans DAILY BEFORE the hurricane

ETA: also, they love to introduce interesting subplots and then abandon them. for example, Colson's talk to Toni about the police force being dysfunctional and crime returning from Houston during the second line & a member of the black creole political machine offering Davis favors to get him to drop out of the council race. why were these people afraid of Davis?
