      <![CDATA[@Alejandro: Obviously people with a deep connection to the city is going to have a bias. My point was that if you took away the subject you can still make valid points of criticism about how the story is being told and you can't dismiss those criticisms by speculating on their intimate knowledge of the subject.

      <![CDATA[Or; you're a local who does get everything and still questions some of the sacred traditions in the city. You see all of that energy going into beautiful and ephemeral things, and just know in your heart of hearts that if only 1/2 of that energy were spent on things that last and matter (like civic engagement, good governing, better urban planning, parks & rec, bike trails, economic development other than tourism, education) would really help the city it would be better for NOLA.

      <![CDATA[I don't care if it's too "made for New Orleans" -- for years, I've watched shows where people are hot and sexy and twentysomething and live in incredible big-city lofts on a pauper's budget, and I've never felt left out of that. I'm just glad there are nuances to be missed.

      <![CDATA[@olegonzo, it's a good point that's been brought up that you don't have to understand every aspect of a show to enjoy it (surely not everyone picked up every nuance about Baltimore in "The Wire" or about Mormons and Utah in "Big Love", both HBO super hits) but someone with intimate knowledge of New Orleans is more likely than not going to like this show more because of it. Noticing that Annie and Sonny met for coffee at the Pirate's Alley Cafe or that Antoine was bantering with Big Sam at Toussaint's gig (not to mention how hilarious it was to see Ms. Irma Thomas as a poker shark) livens up what others have called a slow and plodding show.

      <![CDATA[I will also say "Treme" captures one characteristic not often used to describe New Orleanians: Defiant. "Carefree", "Fun loving", "hospitable", etc. These are often how we are described.

      <![CDATA[True. I find many of my New Orleans native friends who've moved away, and some who still live nearby, are also only interested in the "party" aspects of New Orleans.
