Or at least, I think
I mean this is the first time you recommend a TV series on this blog: within two years and peak of its existence, I have addressed the most varied topics, but unless I am mistaken, this is the first time I will use this medium to make such recommendation. In my real everyday life yes I'm recommending books, movies, plays, and probably more than once recommended a series, but I do on the blog, because there are people who do usually, much better than I could ever do it myself.
arguably now the idiot box is more stupid than ever, but it is not so, or at least I think, every now and then rescues a good program, or as in this case, a series that, in my humble opinion, is the closest thing to the excellence we've seen in recent years (say, in the last 43).
It's "Treme," a series issued by HBO on Saturday night, the first (and only now but not last) season consists of 10 one-hour episodes each, of which the issue has ended in the States, their country of origin, but in Latin America these days broadcasts. I say that not everyone has a TV subscriber, and I say that if you're reading these lines is because you have access to a computer with internet connection, and there are other ways to watch TV without TV, even if they both concepts have nothing to do with each other, and without this I am encouraging sin.
I learned of the existence of "Treme" through a radio show, now I'm free to make recommendations take this opportunity to recommend, it's "Butterfly Effect" and runs Monday through Friday from 14:00 to 16: 00 in Uruguay Radio, 1050 AM, hosted by Daina Rodriguez (and cast), and talk to me some time ago disappeared from the blogs lately Corto Maltese. Such is the enthusiasm aroused by this series between the conductors, which devoted an entire program, on that occasion met Hernán Casciari (Need Presentation?), Which was like crazy, to say the least.
Hernán himself in his column "spoiler" in El País of Madrid says:
"I wanted to wait to see the second episode of Treme to discuss the series. I mean the new creature David Simon and Eric Overmyey that HBO emitted from two Mondays ago. Just as promised, the pilot flies we head for eighty minutes, we dive in New Orleans Post-Katrina, we saw a handful of its inhabitants, we saw mostly dance and listen to his music.
There are still eight episodes of this little gem which I fell in love ... "
And what is this series? End (well, with accents) is a New Orleans neighborhood, inhabited mostly by African Americans and Creoles, with a long musical tradition. The series begins 3 months after Hurricane Katrina, which devastated the city. Thousands of dead and missing, thousands of evacuees whose homes were destroyed by the disaster, and a government-both state and national level-that is so inefficient and ineffective as little interested in rebuilding the destroyed city.
But all is not lost for a group of people who want to return. Go home, go back to meet his family and friends, return to bury their dead back to their history, their roots, their traditions do not rot under water. And there is music. Because the music redeems Treme, music heals the wound, the music stronger.
Then, each chapter is telling little stories about lovable characters who try to keep fighting because they are deeply convinced that New Orleans is worth it. And each chapter is a jazz show more visceral, more incredibly beautiful that you can hear.
A flawless production managers, first (draft Agnieszka Holland's name as you go so much weight) and some actors luxury that give life to these characters so lovable, make a wish that each chapter ends not more.
Toni and Cray Bernette (Melissa Leo and John Goodman)
do not know if with all this talk will achieve embolante convince someone to engage in watching the series, but I just seemed to enjoy walking out there by myself when I could share the enjoyment.
And finally, a souvenir : a videíto with the presentation of the series. Talking to the handle and dancing in the streets of Treme!
