I've read quite a few unfavorable reviews of Treme, but I really enjoy it. Unique for sure.

Bumpin' my own sheeeeeeeeeeeeet.

I watched this entire series in a marathon of blistering hot day cool-downs in my one air-conditioned room this past summer. I genuinely feel that this mind-thumping of a viewing experience made me a better person.

I love this show. I think about it everyday.

Never get high on your own supply. This thread came up on an unrelated search, but since I stumbled upon it, I thought it should get a bump for the masses that haven't heard of it or have put off watching it. It really does make you think, and I agree that it has made me a more aware person.

i forgot about this thread, man i think i watched all 5 seasons in 5 weeks. probably my favorite drama, ever. (spolier) only let down was the fabricated serial killer in season 5.. for a show that was so brilliantly written, this was a shockingly dumb/unbelievable premise.

season 5 was a bit of a let down. i think the writers wanted to do a full season, but the network only signed it for a few. the could have easily come up with a better plot for exploiting the problems of journalism. best part of the season though was mcnulty and kima sitting in the room with the FBI guy describing the traits of the serial killer.
