The third installment of our Treme dialogue is up:
I think, finally, Treme is coming together for some of those viewers who were disappointed by the first two episodes.
We’re beginning to see how the characters’ lives intersect; some are becoming likable (Antoine), others detestable (Davis, Sonny), and at least one is becoming unreadable (Albert); and we’re starting to learn more about how and why — in the writers’ opinions, at least — some of the institutions failed the people of New Orleans.
By the end of the episode, every time I saw an NOPD car, I just knew some shit was going down.
Also, I should note that it was the late great David Mills who got the lead writing credit for this episode.
