Treme

The fourth and final season of Treme has only half the usual number of episodes, so my guess is that the show was canceled and then the decision was made to allow producer David Simon to bring the show to a close on a reduced budget.

All the characters are well known and there are no new additions. A few storylines are given a satisfactory sendoff, while others are offered a springboard to a hopeful future.

Overall, this is the type of show that features characters who end up becoming your friends, so it's certainly hard to say goodbye.

If you're a fan of jazz or blues definitely check it out. Be ready for a hard look at the way a city with a large black and brown population is run and taken advantage of, especially after a tragic event like hurricane Katrina, which devastated it, opening the door to countless profiteers who cared nothing for the cultural heritage of the place.
