New Orleanians waited cautiously for the series premiere of '' Treme '' , but quickly embraced the show as an accurate and honest representation of the city . '' The Times-Picayune '' writer Dave Walker expressed the city 's collective sentiment that '' Treme '' is " the screen depiction that New Orleans deserves , has always desired , but has been denied . " While Simon attempted to recreate post-Katrina New Orleans with precision , he did confess a willingness to include subtle anachronisms such as the inclusion of a Hubig 's pie in the first episode when such pies were still unavailable . Simon prefaced the airing of the first episode with a letter in '' The Times-Picayune '' promising not perfect historical accuracy but a treatment " respectful of the historical reality . " '' Treme '' includes many location-specific references , as did Simon 's '' The Wire '' . In response , '' The Times-Picayune '' published a weekly debriefing of each episode 's unexplained New Orleans references called " '' Treme '' Explained . " For the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards , Agnieszka Holland was nominated for Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series for the pilot episode , " Do You Know What It Means " , and Steve Earle was nominated for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for the song " This City " . For the 66th Primetime Emmy Awards , for its shortened fourth and final season , it received nominations for Outstanding Miniseries ; Outstanding Casting for a Miniseries , Movie or a Special ; and Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries , Movie or a Dramatic Special for the series finale episode written by Simon and Overmyer ; and won for Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Miniseries or a Movie
