Folks are strutting and dancing, a brass band is blowing a joyful noise--its a celebration of NOLAs resilience and proud spirit (Wont bow--dont know how, as they say). But theres darkness just below this shiny surface, and anyone familiar with The Wire, cocreator-writer David Simons last show, wont be a bit surprised to find that he and fellow Treme writer-producer Eric Overmyer arent shy about going there. The New Orleans we see is a city barely starting to recover from what one character calls a man-made catastrophe… of epic proportions and decades in the making. Many peoples homes are gone, and insurance payments are a rumor. Other locals havent come back, and still others are simply missing. The people have been betrayed by their own government, and New Orleanss reputation for corruption is hardly helped by the fact that the police force is in such disarray that the line between cop and criminal is sometimes so fine as to be nonexistent. Bad, but not all bad. NOLA still has its cuisine, its communities, and best of all its music, which permeates every chapter, from the Rebirth Brass Bands I Feel Like Funkin It Up in episode 1 to Allen Toussaint and Cha Dooky-Doo in episode 10. Theres Dixieland and zydeco, natch, but also hip-hop and rock; there are NOLA stalwarts like Dr. John, Ernie K-Doe, Lee Dorsey, and the Meters (as well as appearances by Elvis Costello, Steve Earle, and others), but plenty of younger, lesser knowns, too. Whether we hear it in the street, in a club or a recording studio, at home, or anywhere, music is the lifeblood of the city and this series, and its handled brilliantly. Treme has a lot of characters and their stories to keep up with. Theres trombonist Antoine Batiste (Wendell Pierce), a wonderful player but kind of a dog, especially to his current baby mama and his ex-wife, LaDonna (Khandi Alexander), a bar owner whos desperately searching for her missing brother. Theres Creighton Bernette (John Goodman), a writer preoccupied with telling the world whats really going on in the city, and his wife Toni (Melissa Leo), a lawyer and thorn in the side of the authorities. Theres Davis McAlary (Steve Zahn), a well-meaning but annoyingly clueless radio DJ, his occasional girlfriend Janette (Kim Dickens), whos struggling to keep her restaurant open, and Albert Lambreaux (Clarke Peters), who returns from Houston, finds his house in ruins, and sets about rebuilding it. You might not like all of them. Not all get through the series unscathed, or even alive. But thats part of the deal. The show feels authentic: dialogue (natural, plain, and profane), story lines, locations, camera work, the utter lack of gloss and glamour--this is no Chamber of Commerce travelogue. Its not a documentary either, but there are moments when its just down and dirty enough to pass for one.
