re: Ugh Treme is just unbearable

What I don't understand is that Davis was all about ending the corruption and old way of doing things but as soon as someone gave him the get out of jail free card (bribe) he jumped at it. I guess he just wanted to make $$$$$ off campaign CD's.

That was the point. At the end of the day he had no principles like the rest of them.

I like to think of it in the same light as David Milch's second series with HBO, John from Cincinnati, which I thought sucked hard. But really, it didnt have a chance after following Deadwood. I think the same goes for Simon and this series. While I think Treme is good, and not as horrible as people are making it out to be, I can see why some tuned out.
