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. Genre: Drama Network: HBO Premiere Date: Apr 24, 2011 Creators: David Simon, Eric Overmyer Exec.

More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for Treme Season 2 All Critics (23) | Top Critics (12) | Fresh (23) | Rotten (0) 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. May 25, 2018 | Full Review… Dan DeLuca Philadelphia Inquirer Top Critic It's the rare show that gets better the more it stews in its own juices. May 25, 2018 | Rating: A | Full Review… Jennifer Armstrong Entertainment Weekly 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 Newsday 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 Uncle Barky Top Critic 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. May 25, 2018 | Full Review… Ben Walsh Independent (UK) 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. Apr 24, 2011 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic Beyond a more congealed storyline, Treme has miraculously remained untouched. May 25, 2018 | Full Review… Kevin Yeoman ScreenRant 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. Apr 24, 2011 | Full Review… Tony Norman Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Some aspects of this show work better than others, but, in its generally excellent second season, the drama has cohered into a compelling, if sprawling, portrait of the Crescent City. Apr 24, 2011 | Full Review… Maureen Ryan Huffington Post It takes a while to adjust to the dissonance, but the muted naturalism of the superb cast draws us in. Apr 24, 2011 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review… Tom Gliatto People Magazine Possibly the best-written show on TV at present and it€™s richness oozes out of every second of screen time. May 25, 2018 | Full Review… D.J. Haza What Culture Assuming you have not, I plead with you, faithful reader, to spend some time this summer diving into this "visual novel."
