After a strong showing all season, and a potentially series-best in episode 3.07, “Promised Land”, Treme finishes out season three in fine form, with continued focus on character, atmosphere, and the series’ ever-present themes of perseverance, artistic expression, and self-determination.

(Although in this episode – teleplay by George Pelecanos; story by Pelecanos & Jordan Hirsch – she is victimized twice, once when her bar burns and again when her rapist is freed.) But "Treme"’s writers have leavened her sorrows with a beautifully handled flirtation between her and Albert. Last week, with Mardi Gras over, Albert finally started chemo.
