Review Quotes:
Finished Jaimey Fisher's invigorating TV Milestone on Treme. The book offers great context for thinking about series in conjunction with all the other "quality TV" of the 2010s. Fisher uses Treme to explore how New Orleans was reshaped culturally and spatially by "disaster capitalism" and notes that it is one of the few shows to depict effects of neoliberal policy. Fisher's book also excels in celebrating how Simon sought to craft a new form of TV that celebrates and mourns New Orleans.
