LINK ::: https://urluso.com/2tkP6N

Set during the 1970s and 1980s in New York, the violence of the drug epidemic is worsening. Twin brothers Vincent and Frankie Martino become fronts for the Mafia while operating out of Times Square, which is also the home of Eileen \"Candy\" Merrell, a street-level prostitute who exits the dangers of the street by entering the now-legal emerging porn industry as an actress and director. The first season takes place from 1971 to 1972, while the second season jumps five years ahead to 1977 with the season concluding in the summer of 1978.[3][11] The third season takes place from 1984 to 1985.[12]

The Deuce was envisioned as a three-season series by creators David Simon and George Pelecanos, with each season taking place in a different time period during the rise of the porn industry in New York City during the 1970s and 80s.[13][14]

Clarke Peters, who played Lester Freamon in The Wire (which David Simon created), guest stars in the season 1 finale as \"Ace\", a former pimp and C.C.'s mentor.[28] Photographer Nan Goldin made a cameo appearance in a season 2 episode. She has worked in the same post-Stonewall era of New York city displayed in the series.[29][30] Co-creator and executive producer George Pelecanos appears as a bar patron in season 3, episode 6.

The Deuce has received critical acclaim. On Metacritic, the first season has a score of 85 out of 100 based on 35 reviews.[31] On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 93% approval rating with an average rating of 8.67 out of 10 based on 89 reviews. The site's critical consensus is, \"The Deuce again demonstrates David Simon's masterful grasp of urban grit, while never losing detailed sight of its colorful characters.\"[32] Daniel Fienberg of The Hollywood Reporter gave it a highly positive review, praising its ensemble cast, and wrote in conclusion, \"Simon and Pelecanos are just beginning to put the machinery of The Deuce into motion in these eight episodes. As an opening act, the show's first season is substantive, provocative and entertaining.\"[33] Charles Bramesco of The Guardian gave it a five star review and wrote, \"Simon has created his most accessible work of humanism to date, and he's done so without sacrificing his loftier ambitions of societal critique.\"[34]

The second season received continued critical acclaim. On Metacritic, it has a score of 86 out of 100 based on 13 reviews.[35] On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 99% approval rating with an average rating of 8.4 out of 10 based on 37 reviews. The site's critical consensus is, \"The Deuce's excellent character-driven drama returns with even more immersive world-building and a welcome focus on its leading ladies, carried by a tour de force performance from Maggie Gyllenhaal.\"[36] Allison Shoemaker for RogerEbert.com gave it a highly positive review, and wrote \"Simon and Pelecanos seem to have hit their stride with this particular story, expertly balancing character-driven storytelling with a wide-angle view of the social, economic, political, cultural, sexual, and gendered dynamics of the era.\"[37]

There are sex workers and pimps, porn stars, police officers, and publicans, each one trying to make a living in a time in New York City where everything was made more difficult by violence, racism, and poverty. Before The Deuce enters its second season on Sept. 9 and continues to delve deep into the seedy business of sex, remind yourself how the action wraps up in the first season.

For many shows, the depiction of sex is sensual, romantic, and, well, sexy. On HBO's sleeper hit The Deuce, which details the lives of sex workers and the rise of pornography in the 1970s, the sex is something entirely different: gritty and raw, mostly devoid of emotion. For a show with sex at its epicenter, it's the characters who drive this superb drama.\\nThere are sex workers and pimps, porn stars, police officers, and publicans, each one trying to make a living in a time in New York City where everything was made more difficult by violence, racism, and poverty.
