If the show wasn't set in New Orleans I definitely would have stopped watching by now.
And just about everyone on here would be blasting it.

I quit watching it after about Episode 4. It was like Chinese water torture.

it's in New Orleans and I like seeing and hearing all the things I recognize.
If I want to see all that stuff, I'll just get in my car and drive the 75 miles down I-10.
Of course, if you can't do that as easily as I can, never mind.

Damn I hope they have 5 more seasons of Chinese water torture...

yeah it sucked. I couldnt make it past about 1.5 episodes.

I've been disappointed as well. It just doesn't seem to have any real direction and it's a bit over done. I'm struggling to keep with it. I keep telling myself it took a couple shows of Breaking Bad for me to get into it, but I highly doubt Treme is going to pay off in the same way. They did get the shooting in the middle of large crowds right though!

I watched the first 2 episodes and it felt like choking down an awful drink both times. This is possibly the most boring thing about New Orleans I have every seen. I can't even guilt myself into watching this boring arse drivel.

For the life of me I cannot fathom how anybody but super-sanctimonious liberal art fricks could bear to stick with this show (and those of you who know me realize I'm not exactly a rabid right-winger)
I've felt the same way since the first episode I watched. It's boring as shite and way too fricking liberal.

For all it's intentions not to make NO look foolish and unrealistic like a lot of citizens have complained about from past movies, it's done just that, people getting fricked up all over the place and corruption abounds.

Well judging by this board, people want more drugs, violence, and corruption.

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?

He spelled out exactly why.
Because he was siphoning off a few percentage points from his candidate, which could have been the difference in a runoff.

wouldn't it have been easier to just destroy him? this is new orleans. racial politics at his finest. instead Davis gets a get out of jail free card and we move along to more of him acting like an a-hole.

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.

This felt really fake to me. I just don't see his character getting that excited over a simply favor from a judge in the future. That plot twist felt really fake to me.
