"Treme"


This is not actually a film, but one of those TV programmes that the young people watch. Imanaged to catch episode one on a recent flight to Boston that my jet set life saw me take. Treme is set in New Orleans at some point after Hurricane Katrina and features a variety of people going about their exciting lives. It has an endearingly formless quality that evoked well the languid nature of that great city, though I thought it could have done without the developing plot about evil cops running some kind of death-squad operation during the hurricane – it seemed like something that had sneaked in from another TV series or film entirely.

yeah sure, it just seemed to jar with the rest of the episode.
