Tv Season Info

THE DEUCE chronicles that moment in time when sex went from being a back-alley, brown-paper-bag commodity to a billion-dollar universal in American life, a moment when ground zero for the earliest pioneers in the flesh trade was the midtown heart of the nation's largest city, New York's Times Square.

The Deuce takes a frank approach to sex, a clear-eyed view of the past and a steady style to human storytelling. Ultimately, HBO deals aces to viewers.

You may not realize it while it's happening, but The Deuce will make you take a good look in the mirror - and think long and hard about what you see.

September 5, 2017 | Rating: A | Full Review…

The Deuce demands you dive in to its vice-filled world. You may feel a little dirty and tainted afterwards but it is so electrifying, you won't be able to resist its sinful charms.

The Deuce is the dirty lowdown, with much of the action below the belt. There's nothing pretty here. But in the eyes of this beholder, you'll otherwise know great drama when you see it.

Those compelling, artfully drawn characters keep you enthralled even as the show goes about the slow business of showing how pimps, prostitutes, the mob and police helped turn a back-alley pursuit into a billion-dollar industry.
