YMMV / Treme

Go To

  • Award Snub: Zig-zagged. While the show did receive a few nominations for its music and directing, its cast never received any nominations nor did the show itself get nominated for Outstanding Drama Series. Though it did get a Miniseries nod in its final season, finally breaking the snub curse that befell The Wire.
  • Awesome Music: A series in a city that's legendary for its music is begging for a killer soundtrack, and Treme delivers. Episode 1 hits the ground running with an uproarious rendition of "Feel Like Funkin' it Up", and every episode afterwards has at least one amazing musical performance.
  • The Scrappy: Sonny and Davis are both, to various degrees, intentionally dislikable at various points in the story.
    • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Sonny in Season Two, as he's forced to acknowledge that Annie is far better off without him, and matures enough that she's willing to let him play with her again.
    • Davis, too; by the end of Season Two his guitar playing is almost listenable. Then again, aside from his musical tastes and skill, he seems like (mostly) likable guy with a severe case of Honor Before Reason.
    • Nelson Hidalgo in Season 3.
