FTA-TV The Wire

[WireHawk]

Anyone watch Treme?
From makers of the wire.
Prob won't get the action .

I will give it a go.

I downloaded S1 from Foxtel.

I loved 'The Wire', but didn't like 'Treme' at all. Maybe that's because I don't like
New Orleans jazz. I also find Steve Zahn annoying and Michiel Huisman bugs me
for some reason. Wendell Pierce was the best thing in the show.

A major dissappointment after arguably the greatest show of all in 'The Wire'.

If you still want some more David Simon television, try Generation Kill.

Treme in form was even more atypical than The Wire was, cutting edge in more subtle ways and also had a more African-American cast. It just didn’t have the dramatic spine of crime. The episodes were also very satisfying, it isn’t necessarily something to binge in a day.

Treme was ok, but I never finished it.

If you want something that's more in line with the vibe of The Wire (and closer in quality than Treme IMO), then watch The Deuce. 3 seasons, good story, great acting... similar gritty feel to The Wire.

Forgot to add, The Deuce is also made by David Simon and a lot of the same crew from behind the scenes of The Wire as well as some of the actors. Also has some big names in Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Franco.

Also Show Me A Hero, starring Oscar Isaac.

Terrific mini-series about local government and housing.
