horse riding sequence looked surprisingly exciting. also I think I spotted a very Mann-ish chair-kicking shot.

yes a lot of critics gave treme As when it came out
― da croupier, Wednesday, 20 April 2011 14:26 (2 years ago) Permalink
If they still liked it when the season ended I dunno, but few pro critics were like "I shit on this show about New Orleans from the Wire guy" when it came out

Treme is great.

I didn't actually mean critics though. I don't know anyone irl who liked it and a lot of people who strongly disliked it.

i'm not saying that with any pride btw, it's just that most of my friends watch different tv than i likeand i can't see chatting up the work folks with "that modern family is a SCREAM, rite?"

My father-in-law liked it but he's a professional musician who has probably skipped out of many cab fares in his day so I think he's biased

Treme is great. suckers walked into it expecting The Wire set in New Orleans and got mad that it was a different show.
― gr8080, Wednesday, 20 April 2011 18:08 (2 years ago) Permalink
treme is dope. gotta say that luck looks awesome, too. wish i had hbo, might have to re-up on that.
― omar little, Wednesday, 20 April 2011 18:28 (2 years ago) Permalink
treme was really good. different from simon's other stuff but who wants him to do exactly the same thing over and over? I don't. glad to see him out of baltimore for a change.
luck looks good. HBO has some good stuff, again, after a year or two there where it was getting kind of bankrupt.

I have high hopes for Armando Ianucci's upcoming HBO show "Veep"

I didn't like Treme much, but what I like even less is people who say I didn't like it because it wasn't "The Wire."
What do I know, though, I liked John from Cincinnati a whole lot.

u only liked John from Cincinnati bc it took place in an old timey western frontier town

I loved John from Cincinnati with the Milch commentary track on and the regular audio track off.

i'm actually really surprised mann had that big a hand in it in the first place. i figured it'd be a thing where he just directs the pilot and slaps his name on the show a la scorsese & boardwalk empire, but according to this:
After what an HBO source describes as "serious" discussions, Milch has the final word on scripts, but Mann decides everything else, from casting to cutting to music. Clearly that is not a situation to which Milch, the Emmy-winning writer-producer of NYPD Blue and Deadwood, has lately been accustomed.

wonder who else is directing

Terry George and Allen Coulter apparently (me neither).

HBO's gonna have their 'house' guys direct it like they do with every show.

Totally inevitable. Two of the smartest, toughest, most head-strong, most perfectionist auteurs in the biz, collaborating? Ha. I'd watch a show about their behind the scenes fights.
