it also has something I really can't get into

I liked the first season but then I just gave up on it

I forget how far I got or why I dropped it
but I remember it was good

Best show since Sopranos.

you should experience New Orleans in person. one of the strangest, most magical, most atmospheric cities I've ever been to.

I have been there twice, went to a couple bars on bourban street just to do it the first time. Drove around some part of the city, I dont really know where I was, ate at some local grill.

Something about it was really nice and its hard to explain. I want to go back and explore more.

It reminds me of chicago in the sense that it seems like a neighborhood city.

>shilling for a city infested by blacks
no thanks

I remember jazz and other kinds of musicians playing around the city, strange smells everywhere, literal voodoo stuff here and there - even voodoo stores, drunken revelers, those big, almost vampire-y-looking French buildings with the eerie iron lattice-work, the graveyards with the super-gothic tombs you can wander around, the swooping,mossy trees, and thick, hot atmosphere

would go back anytime.

I can picture those trees with the beads still in them

Its really quite nice

>strange smells everywhere
You can say that again.

haha, I was referring to the food and perfumes and incense etc, but touche

I love Simon's work, but Treme sucked, I couldn't get past mid-Season 2. The show is literally "dude we from Orleans, we coolest", such a circle-jerk, it got tedious.

I barely made it though the pilot, that fucking retard in the feather costume.

It was good but at the end of either season 2 or 3 it showed the stealing and gang violence and resistence to police. But the next season never really touched on it. It became a poor me show and then cancelled.

John Goodman was great his wife was stupid the daughter was cool

a friend let me borrow the box set and I watched the first episode and while I liked it, I wasn't super into it. Haven't picked it up since, that was like two weeks ago.

It's funny that you mention vampires, because vampires are the reason New Orleans feels odd. They really exist and they live there.

Vampires exist and live in New Orleans.

The first episode is disorienting, but in hindsight I think this was intentional.

It begins not with a logical introductory period in all the characters' lives, but at the point at which they start to try and resume their regular lives after they were abrubtly put on hold, and they're struggling to return to normalcy. The characters are all trickling back into the city, reestablishing relationships, and trying to rebuild. That's not a typical point at which show/movies tend to introduce an entire cast of characters.

It's like the show starts after the big plot crisis has already occurred. Now we're starting in the third act when they attempt to resolve what's happened. Fitting for the actual historical context of what's being depicted. The whole show is the rebuilding after the storm.

Fuck off Anne, you're done.

whether they exist or not, New Orleans is the probably most vampire-y place in existence - just as far as style and vibe - outside of Eastern Europe

Eh, anne went all over the fucking place.

Everything from vampires to witches to whatever-the-fuck taltos were supposed to be.
