ABOUT TREME
First, the people came back. Then, the crime. Now, more than two years after the near death of a great city, the money is starting to arrive, which would sound like a solution if this were some place other than New Orleans, and this was some other era but America at the millennium.
For the people of New Orleans, even the promises of redevelopment come with strings attached, and every dollar that shows up – whether from government disaster relief, or from venture capital, or even from those seeking to remake New Orleans in the wake of Katrina – carries with it new dynamics and new risks. National interest has waned, moving on to the next headline, but those who know and love the Crescent City have no choice. They must find their way back to what matters in the life of their city. However, little of what they can bring to bear yields a quick result, and nothing about New Orleans – its government, its police department and courtrooms, its school system – works as it should. Nothing is easy.
In the end, their only weapons are community. And culture.
This season of Boardwalk Empire has been agonizingly slow for me, but this episode turned things around. I can be hard to please when it comes to TV series, so there are some like a few of my coworkers at DISH who have loved every episode of this season. I think Rosetti has been a breath of fresh air, and I’m so glad that I decided against erasing all the BE recordings from my DISH Hopper. I guess it wouldn’t have been that bad since I can still retrieve deleted recordings from my DVR recycle bin within 48 hours of putting them in there. It’s going to be a lifesaver for whenever I start cleaning out my DVR on an emotional high! I have a feeling that the best of the show is to come, and I want to have as many episodes as possible to reference back to.
