Can't speak to the Irma release, but I wholeheartedly second the Treme recommendation. I loved the Wire--probably the best series of all time--and regularly meet people who tell me how much they loved that. But I've never met anyone else who's actually seen Treme, which I rate nearly as highly as the Wire. Should have known it would have fans among the N&G crowd.Anyone have that Irma Thomas that's going to be in TBT? Rewatching Tremé the other day and thought that I needed some Irma in the collection (she's in a number of episodes).
EDIT: Also if anyone has a remote interest in New Orleans music, or culture - or even just wants a great show with fantastic characters and story - make it a priority to watch Tremé.
David Simon is behind both shows. Treme is to New Orleans what the Wire is to Baltimore. Treme is a lot less violent--it focuses on musicians instead of drug traffickers--but that's not a bad thing in my book.
