While you may have been "beat over the head" all the time, I think that is partly due to the fact that the people there got beat over the head constantly; even when things seem to get better, out of the blue there would be something to beat you over the head AGAIN. And, the music is AMAZING because it is so AUTHENTIC.Bob in SAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-82415760567361775032011-02-10T16:37:36.518-05:002011-02-10T16:37:36.518-05:00Bourdain did a show in NOLA and Emeril got to him ...Bourdain did a show in NOLA and Emeril got to him or something.

Each of the seasons had one or two unifying threads, be they the act of building a case or the Hamsterdam experiment or the effort to create a drug-selling cartel. When that kind of direction didn't coalesce in the first four or five episodes of Treme, I lost interest. isaac_spacemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-4462573847595627702011-02-10T12:02:21.631-05:002011-02-10T12:02:21.631-05:00It's a hard show to get into, but the music is...It's a hard show to get into, but the music is terrific, the performances are great all around and once you get into it, it's emotionally involving. But on a macro level, the show is light on plot. Each of the characters has story, but there isn't an overarching narrative arc like The Wire that all comes together at the end. It could be a very weird pairing with Game of Thrones...Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-58430956304334234002011-02-10T10:56:22.013-05:002011-02-10T10:56:22.013-05:00Bourdain?

I love NO and I think part of me has procrastinated because I am afraid of being dissapointed.<br /><br />As a fan of Bourdain's writing, this intrigues me. Maybe I can make time this weekend. mcmnoreply@blogger.com
