What Do You Guys Think about The Deuce? (Show)
Never seen a television show or movie tackle the adult industry like this before. It's so explicit -- there's nudity and graphic sex practically in every episode.
It was created by David Simon, same guy who made The Wire. Pretty solid show. Though there doesn't seem to be a straightforward plot (like in the Wire), the show is highly entertaining and everything looks real and believable. I don't think I've seen threads here about it. Anyone watched this show about the sex trade industry in Times Square NYC during the 1970s? |

I watched a few episodes and it was too dark, too depressing and had an obvious agenda that overshadowed everything. I really wanted to like it's such a shame.

Yeah David Simon can be pretty heavy handed with his political views.

I guarantee you that David Simon wont evolve the series into the late nineties and the massive influx of mom & pop porn production that flourished when we could post content directly online and bypass the DVD industry that was ripping production houses off. It doesn't seem that the fun times and innocent times are on David Simon's agenda. His agenda seems to be all about abuse, illegality, etc. and it overshadows the reality of the industry too much , from my perspective. |

I thought it was awesome.
When I was a kid we used to cut school, take the bus to NYC, and check out the peep shows. Of course we had no idea what was going on behind the scenes. It's amazing to see how the industry went from peep shows to VHS, and then of course to DVD and online.

But the show takes place during the 1970s in Times Square. Not sure if you're not familiar with the story or what, but it shows how a lot of prostitutes migrated from street prostitution to starring in porn movies. It also seems to center on the relationships between pimps and whores. The massage parlors they show are all owned by the mafia. It's only normal that they show criminal elements. I may be wrong, but I don't think this is the same porn production industry you got started in. |

The one thing I don't like about the show is that there is basically no plot, just a bunch of sub-plots that got stringed together. It kind of goes nowhere to be honest, but it's a lot of fun to watch. |

The wire is boring as fuck the first 4 episodes. So is game of thrones really... Not as much when you go back obviously but out of the gate? Novels take time to build around and develop--this story wont be any different.
