NP - Treme

[rich]

not unwatchable--it has great elements to it. love wendell pierce and
the indians and i quite enjoyed the police subplot with david morse
last season. its a lot more looser (the drama droops and fades, the
celebrity cameos are a bit much, too) than the Wire. its his AtD to
the Wire's GR  ;)
I still watch it even if it annoys me at times.
