just watched it last night. very excited for the series and to discuss it with all of you fine folks. the pilot was a great introduction into all of the characters lives (zahn is an early fav, john goodman and "bunk" close behind.

being from houston, we ended up seeing a lot of fallout from katrina in the form of nawlins residents coming into our city. it's awesome to get a real honest, albeit fictional perspective. with david simon and company at the helm, i can't imagine this being anything short of excellent.

also, the authenticity of simon's shows never cease to impress. when "lester" (sorry, i didn't pick up names yet) and walked into his house, the muddied floor, a minor detail, had me pretty amazed.

Second season already ordered. Fucking awesome.
Quote:
Just two days after the series premiere, HBO has given a second-season order for "Treme."

Opening episode drew 1.1 million viewers Sunday and cabler felt it didn't need to wait any longer to contemplate the show's future. Reviews for the skein, about how the citizens of New Orleans face life after Hurricane Katrina, have been outstanding.

only 1.1 million? Jesus, thought it'd be more than that. I guess it makes sense because I keep asking friends/ people at work what they thought about it and they have no idea what it is.

so sweet that this already got picked up. two seasons is plenty of time to break into a nice stride and establish a fan base.

Finally got around to watching the first episode. Question for you folks...does anyone know what is supposed to be the driving force behind the plot? Or is it just supposed to follow the lives of all these people who were effected by the hurricane, and chronicles the events of their lives?

Probably too early to tell, but I'm just curious if maybe someone read something about it online.

There's no real over-arching plot.

I've seen it described as a fictional documentary.

Watching the premiere tonight, can't wait. I really hope he goes into the crime element of the area.

Finally caught the premiere and thought it was great. Absolutely loved the music. I probably missed a bunch of stuff, so a second viewing wouldn't hurt. I feel like Zahn's character might wear on me a little in future episodes, but for now I really enjoy him.

Awesome news about the second season.

The premiere didn't really grab me. I'll keep watching though.
