Again weird given there's some excellent actors here. No one as flat-out annoying as Steve Zahn's Davis, though.

reason i asked you was that i remember you didn’t like tremé, but i loved it and would rewatch in a heartbeat.

true enough, tremé was not much of a “story”, it was more of a survey of local color, and characters weaving in and out of camera, but ultimately i just wanted to go live there.

i know i’m in the minority here (low ratings being the reason the show was cancelled), but still, i can appreciate your assessment without necessarily sharing it.

not in a hurry to watch the deuce though. too much teevee right now and can’t afford the addiction.
