Treme

I am loving the new series Treme. There hasn't been much buzz about it, which is worrying. It's got good story lines and dozens of great little moments--strippers are moving in--that illuminate not only life in crisis but also life in general. And its refreshing to see actors rather than the plastic androids who seem to inhabit many of the network dramas. And I'm starting to feel some of the love I had for Khandi Alexander when she was on News Radio. I don't know wtf she was doing, performance-wise on Miami Vice. Finally, I think that Davis' character, played by Steven Zahn, makes a compelling argument for the soul patch, regardless of what the lady mags might say.
