Tv Season Info

Series 2 of David Simon's New Orleans drama opens in November 2006, 14 months after Hurricane Katrina, but the city's ongoing recovery is hampered by an uptick in crime, which gives police lieutenant Terry Colson (David Morse) and the department all they can handle. The can-do spirit is still alive, however, in some characters, including Antoine (Wendell Pierce), who mulls starting his own band, and his ex-wife, LaDonna (Khandi Alexander), who vows to hang on to her bar, Gigi's. Meanwhile, Toni (Melissa Leo) is worried about the emotional state of her daughter, Sofia (India Ennenga); businessman Nelson Hidalgo (Jon Seda) arrives from Dallas to reap the benefits of the city's reconstruction and demolition projects; Davis (Steve Zahn) petitions his Aunt Mimi (Elizabeth Ashley) to bankroll a music project; and Delmond (Rob Brown) debuts his new album in New York, where Janette (Kim Dickens) is working in a trendy restaurant. Cameos include chefs Tom Colicchio, Eric Ripert and David Chang.

Critic Reviews for Treme Season 2

All Critics (23) | Top Critics (11)

what Treme is about, more than anything else, is all the ways that a place you love can break your heart. And how such a betrayal still won't keep you from loving it all the more.

Dan DeLuca
Top Critic

With none of the conventional plot techniques TV viewers are accustomed to, it is a collection of rich moments and poignant characters that loosely adds up to something quite powerful.

Matthew Gilbert
Top Critic

It was last year, and remains so this year -- one of TV's very best.

Apr 24, 2011 | Rating: A+ | Full Review…
Verne Gay
Top Critic

Treme is a many-splendored triumph of slow-cooked storytelling and hot, humid music.

Apr 24, 2011 | Rating: A | Full Review…
Ed Bark
Top Critic

Possibly the best-written show on TV at present and it€™s richness oozes out of every second of screen time.

D.J. Haza

Beyond a more congealed storyline, Treme has miraculously remained untouched.

Kevin Yeoman

Assuming you have not, I plead with you, faithful reader, to spend some time this summer diving into this "visual novel."

Mar 2, 2018 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…
Ross Ruediger

I'm not ready to give up on a show of such obvious quality yet, but I feel like a guy sitting in a restaurant in the French Quarter who has to send a meal back to the kitchen for some added spice.

Tony Norman

If the first series was a bit of a slow-burner, this second series packs a lot more punch, with the stand-out characters being Melissa Leo's dogged civil-rights lawyer and David Morse's thoughtful cop.

Ben Walsh
Top Critic

It's the rare show that gets better the more it stews in its own juices.
