For those of you out there craving a decent helping of quality television, HBO's new addition to the lineup, Treme will most likely be your new addiction. Set in the real life neighborhood of Treme in New Orleans, it captures everyday lives of the residents three months after Hurricane Katrina. The show is refreshingly honest and soulful and the magic of this fascinating city is effortlessly captured with the brilliant display of the two things New Orleans is known for - Music and Food. The acting is superb and so is the cast, which includes Wendall Pierce, himself a native of the city, Oscar nominee Melissa Leo, the always amazing Khandi Alexander and HBO alumn Kim Dickens. Its awesome to have a show set in one of the most culturally inclined cities in America. Its also a haunting reminder of how many lives were destroyed and disrupted and the dedicated resilience thats helping to put this unyielding city back together.
