BS: "desperately clinging to their way of life"

Today's quote comes from a compilation put together by Chris Kaltenbach, at the Baltimore Sun, of critics thoughts on the new series 'Treme'. The quote in particular comes from Brian Lowry's review at variety.com:

"As with New Orleans residents still grappling with Hurricane Katrina's bitter aftermath, patience is required in viewing ‘Treme.' Yet here, at least, that virtue is rewarded. Producer David Simon's ‘The Wire' charted a vicious cycle of poverty, violence, neglect and political ass-covering in a corroding American city; his latest urban tragedy takes a lower-key approach, examining the hardscrabble existence of musicians, restaurateurs and others desperately clinging to their way of life in a damaged, wounded town. Rich, textured and too leisurely in its gait, ‘Treme' won't be to everyone's taste, but by episode three, a hardy band will be hopelessly hooked"
