The Deuce

[hardndslick]

Has anyone watched the Deuce on HBO?
It will bring back memories for Alot of the old timers ( over 60) that messed around in midtown in the 70s.

Lots of hotties with good writing and acting. Alot of actors from the wire. Another great show.

Slick I watched the entire first season and it was awesome.... Franco is amazing in the duel role..... Can't wait for second season

Great series, looking forward to season 2!

This show is the best. It was mentioned in another thread and I was instantly hooked on it. Pardon the pun

I watched the first 6 or 7 episodes. Thought it was just ok, but I'm not a Franco-phile. Some things were just wrong, but they were probably minor details to most people. (Like how much he paid for the girls from the brothel out by Kennedy Airport to come work for a night, whether pimps would let their streetwalkers work for someone else in a new brothel, the amount of money being collected from peeps at that time).

I'm not a fan of Franco either. Especially his personal life. But I thought he did a great job. Its a shame you didn't see the season finale. It was a good one.
Its still an interesting look back at those times with all of the crooked cops and all..

The productions costs I can't imagine

Great series, looking forward to season 2!

I like Season 2 even better than last year. The "Little Red Riding Hood" storyline is becoming a bit tedious for my taste though.

SPOILER ALERT: Kim Director, whose character Shay od'd in a recent episode, is gorgeous.

Brings back some good memories since I spent a lot of time down there.

Tried binging season 1 on Brother B’s advice.
Lost interest during episode 3-4?
Maybe try again?

 

[The Exiled]

It does bog down at times. And there are a lot of characters to follow. I found that focusing on just a few characters allowed me to get through it when it gets overwhelming. Picturing yourself as one of the pimps sometimes helps, too.

 

[BronxBoy]

The show is a slow burn, like Treme or The Wire at times. It's kinda the David Simon signature, where lots of stuff happens but nothing really happens, and even when stuff happens life just carries on.

Great depiction the grittiness of NYC back in the day

Can I start with season 2?

Perhaps you would want to watch the season 1 finale and then move on to season 2.
That should at least give you a wrap-up of the characters going into the next season.

I thought the wire was brilliant. Lots of great characters. You had to love Omar.
They did a great job finishing it off. I think one of the points of the show is that life always moves on.
Treme was hard to follow for me. I didn't finish it.

Some can say game of thrones is hard to follow with all of the characters and different story lines but its still one of the best shows ever done. Imho.

But hey, different strokes.

If you get a jail broken fire stick
( that's what they call it after you hack it) You can watch pretty much anything for free. Movies in theaters too.
You can get a fire stick for about $40 from bestbuy.
Then you need to put 2 programs on it.
There are videos on YouTube that will show you how.
