The Deuce on HBO

The Wire's David Simon and George Pelecanos take on Porn and Prostitution in '70s NYC:



Anybody watching this?

Not watched but the sex parts are so raunchy, some have appeared on pron sites.

Even though it's all fake of course, I don't know how many actresses would feel comfortable filming a full on facial scene like Maggie Gyllenhaal does here.

I'M watching it.Franco is very good in the dual role of brothers Vincent and Frankie and they do an amazing job with the scenes of the two of them together.And there are a lot of them.

Maggie is excellent and actually everyone is pretty damn good so far.The Pimps and the cops I would say are the weakest.Having had experiences in the Tenderloin I would give these Pimps a 5/10 so far.The all together breakfast stuff is slightly farcical as is the mega pimp and HO Bar hang out.

Background is pretty good for NY in the early 70's.Sex scenes are cheap and funky real.We are talking $20 street HO's here.

Episode 4 coming up.

Show is pretty good

Vinnie realizing he's getting more than he bargained for with the Mob.Candy's john has a cardiac arrest while she's giving him a BJ.Classic
Ep3 pretty good.

Awesome show.

Just caught ep 2 the other day, will try to watch this show.

Damn' what an episode.A lot went down,but all in all this was Maggie's/Candy's episode with an incredible performance.

This show just gets better.. great job of keeping all the characters involved with so much going on in the hour. And kudos' to the lighting make up and set design.All so well done.

My main show now. It's so rich.

Damn' Vinnie can't catch a break.Now the Cops want their $500 a week cut from the Brothel/Gentlemans Club.Not sure how Rudy will react to them cutting in on his business or if he'll see it as just the cost of doing business.

And the cops Holiday round-up of Pimps and Ho's will cause the Pimps to think about Vinnies offer.

Frankie and Big Mike did a little recon for Rudy found out the Vending Take was being skimmed.Big Mike comes up with the idea of the private jerk off booths.Always wondered where that idea came from

not as epic as last week but a good episode.

another good episode.Really love how this series includes so much of all their characters in each episode.Excellent writing.

Candy takes charge and really has a flair for porn film making.Guess she she will be taking over for Harvey.

wasn't sure Ashley would make it out of town.Thought CC would somehow track her down at Abby's and she would get beat up or worse.And drawn back in by CC.

Poor Leon hope he gets out of it somehow for putting a bullet in Reggie.I was not expecting it, just thought Melissa would get beat up again by Reggie.But Leon had enough of Reggie's disrespect.

Frankie had a hard time at the Theater.. the p&nis bar was a touch too much.

new Captain in town.

I liked Ruby.. she knew exactly what she was and how she looked.Ain't no thing.

they probably won't ever catch that @sshole either.Sad to see her go.
