This week, on Treme: LP feels the heat, romance is in the air (or it isn’t), and Ladonna’s is the place to be on Sundays
After last week’s character survey, which featured significant moments and decisions for many of the main cast, “The Greatest Love” pulls in closer, focusing on relative newcomer LP Everett’s investigation into police corruption. Much of this episode centers around LP, who’s been relegated to the fringes for much of his time so far on the show. We finally get the particulars of the case he’s working, of which the negligent homicide of a New Orleanian by a group of No police officers is just the beginning. After a few...

The culture that may be the saving grace for the characters of "Treme" can sometimes be impenetrable. That’s the thing about tight systems – they are as resistant to strangers as they are to change. In "Treme"’s artistic worlds, the necessary passport is talent. In the fourth episode (teleplay by Mari Kornhauser & Chris Yakaitis, story by David Simon), Janette begins to staff Desautel’s while Annie Tee continues her ascent. [Spoilers ahead] Annie’s been taking the long road – from street musician to fronting her own band that this season gets its own record deal. (The band is called “Bayou Cadillac,” a pun borrowed from my pals in Beausoleil, who used it as the title both of a song and an album; while the band has never appeared in the series, they at least get a mention.) Slow progress is one of the things that series do best: Simon & Overmeyer let Annie sneak up on us.
