"The Deuce. HBO's new show from the creators of The Wire."
Sat Aug-26-17 12:48 AM by bwood

          

Yo so they recreated old Times Square in the Heights and it works.

This shit pulls you in and you get transported to old New York. No like this shit is a perfect storm of writing, directing and acting.

Surprised to see that Maggie Gyllenhaal is producing this shit along side James Franco. I wonder what their input is behind the camera. I know James is directing 2 episodes.

But cotdamn, no one is fucking with HBO right now between this, Thrones, Insecure, and Curb back. Not to mention this shit looked expensive as fuck. Some of this shit is better shot than most movies.

(Snowfall is solid too)

I might give FX the edge with comedies, though (Especially if Louie comes back).

for me personally, it's between The Americans and Better Call Saul for the number 1 spot right now.

Caught the pilot last night.
I'm already a fan.

David Simon
NYC
70s
Pimps
Hos
James Franco
Cocaine
Booze


wtf more could you want?

I love how David Simon keep the tradition alive and reuses actors. Larry Gilliard is now a cop. Gbenga Akinnagbe, aka Chris Partlow is now a pimp. Method Man is method acting and is now...Method Man with a pimp wig.

This shit has potential.

I wanna watch it again to see who's gonna make it and who's not.

I can already tell that Maggie Gyllenhaal is gonna be the queen of 70s porn.
