Review - Treme Season 1 Episode 7 Smoke My Peace Pipe

I'm really tired from getting 3 hours of sleep last night and I still have to review the two-hour season finales of 24 and Chuck, so this will be another short review. I promise to have more starting next week.

The political situation in the city appears to be reaching a breaking point with Albert and company standing their ground in the vacated projects. The police eventually come and beat Albert to a pulp, but not before he can make a firm, lasting statement to the rest of the city.

Davis comes off rather good in the episode with his record flying off the shelves and his treatment of Janette, but one thing really bothers me. After making a mockery of the corruption in the city, he too takes part, accepting a bribe so he doesn't take away previous percentage points. Really, Davis?

The Daymo story has been the most narrative thing and it came to an end as his body is found in a truck. Capturing the essence of the show, LaDonna comes back home, on the verge of breaking but always resolute, refusing to tell her mother as to not destroy the mood.

Score: 9.4/10
