In the Twitter era, who composes full reviews? Here are some of the highlights from a quick survey of Tweets on HBO’s Treme, which debuted last night.
@midtownNY: #HBO #Treme was ok. I’m pretty sure I’ll watch the series.
@bigleaguestew: I liked it enough to form my own second line band. RT @Greg_Schaum Is Treme worth DVR’ing or is it a little slow?
@AHarris20: #Treme doesn’t believe in Middle/Upper Class Black Families. And they wouldn’t make good TeeVee. The Cosby Show was enough.
@Dontforceit: Watching Treme – It’s weird seeing Bunk in T-shirt and jeans.
@watchingtreme: – RT @xedicine Is Davis the Jar Jar Binks of Treme? I don’t think so, but LMAO!
@twolinepass: @HackswithHaggs If you liked the Wire you will like Treme.
@AHarris20: #Treme Hiring a bunch of white writers, producers, directors to creat an image of New Orleans post-Katrina is a complete & utter joke.
@Lambshank Rdmptn: Treme. Sheer class – and brilliant music.
@ScottCastro: Clarke Peters (Lester Freaman) looks like a completely different person without his facial hair in Treme. Also loved seeing Elvis Costello.
@meaggiepie: @lawscribe That story line (with the pics they were looking at) broke my heart a little. #Treme
@TheSaints: Treme Recap: Just one episode and already know more jazz than that whole Ken Burns… – Vanity Fair
@solellani: @anelrivers Treme was really fantastic, especially if you like a strong character study and lots of music-traditional NO jazz & Louis Prima.
@samoring: I loved #Treme but should have just waited to watch it On Demand. After the 90-minute premiere, it was WAAAY past my bedtime. “Yawn”
@Virgotex: RT @watchingtreme Ep. 1 of #Treme should be compared against Ep. 1 of The Wire. Comparing 5 full seasons isn’t quite fair. /Davis=Snot Boggie?
@Bengmark: RT @sizemore: Weirdly The Wire and Treme have the same focus that @manmadermoon and I believe is the key to understanding Dredd 🙂 The city “is” the lead.
@theduelles: Until today I thought John Goodman had passed away. #treme
@gregledet: @licewitch I don’t get HBO. That’s twice I’ve been asked about Treme today! Weird …
