George Pelecanos on Obama, his favorite TV shows, and new HBO series “Treme
What can you tell us about the new TV series that HBO has acquired?
It’s primarily about musicians returning to their neighborhood four months after the hurricane and trying to rebuild their lives. It will also have cool music with the hottest New Orleans musicians. The show will have the realistic tone of ‘The Wire’ minus the drug crime.
What will you do?
I’ve written one episode and will do more. I was asked to produce, but I have a family and can’t move to New Orleans for seven months. It was tempting. I’ve been hanging out there, and it’s a city that gets in your blood very quickly.
