1* AwardSnub: Zig-zagged. While the show did receive a few nominations for its music and directing, its cast never received any nominations nor did the show itself get nominated for Outstanding Drama Series. Though it did get a Miniseries nod in its final season, finally breaking the snub curse that befell ''Series/TheWire''.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: A series in a [[UsefulNotes/NewOrleans city]] that's legendary for its music is begging for a killer soundtrack, and ''Treme'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEGQ27ieFh0&list=PLdjialPozQTAIDI8ehvM75ALhMsGyOMcK&index=19&ab_channel=YouLikeCards%3F delivers]]. Episode 1 hits the ground running with an uproarious rendition of "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYkZk7nCdTA&ab_channel=TheRebirthBrassBand-Topic Feel Like Funkin' it Up]]", and every episode afterwards has at least one amazing musical performance.
3* TheScrappy: Sonny and Davis are both, to various degrees, intentionally dislikable at various points in the story.
4** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Sonny in Season Two, as he's forced to acknowledge that Annie is far better off without him, and matures enough that she's willing to let him play with her again.
5** [[spoiler: Davis, too; by the end of Season Two his guitar playing is almost listenable.]] Then again, aside from his musical tastes and skill, he seems like (mostly) likable guy with a severe case of HonorBeforeReason.
6** Nelson Hidalgo in Season 3.
7%%* TheWoobie: Annie.
