The Deuce - Season 2 (Sept. 9th/Official Thread)

[Nero Christ]

People will die...too many revolting pieces capable of violence

yea...right now certain characters aren't aware of things or letting them slide, but when the money is on the line, you'll see things go sideways.

Also, this episode really pushed the “female perspective”. It shows how much has changed since the wire in terms of who’s watching, prestige dramas are actively being marketed to middle class (mostly white) women now in a way they were not before. The whole thing about Eileen making porn more feminine is really ridiculous since the porn industry has been around for decades and has not changed at all and there is no reason to change it, men are the ones who consume porn, if you want to make porn for women then make it for women and see how many of them buy it. I hope this isn’t a season long storyline. Also the stripper who called herself a feminist lol.

This is not really a complaint, I get that hbo wants the show to be appealing to both male and female audiences, but i really just don’t care that much about feminism in the porn and sex worker industry

The notion that woman like softer porn and only men are into depraved shyt is a fantasy. Look at them pornhub statistics.

The expression on money face in the opening was priceless when shorty pulled out that ad.

 

[Ribbs]

Doesn't feel like enough has changed for it to be 6 years later

Good Twin and Abby still kinda just fukkin
CC and Larry still having the same hoes
Bro-in-Law still a degenerate running the sex rooms

Maybe I have the wrong view on pimps and hoes but I figured that shyt only lasted in like 2-3 year cycles

Still watching

Agreed. Not that much of a change has happened relationship wise with any of the characters.

The notion that woman like softer porn and only men are into depraved shyt is a fantasy. Look at them pornhub statistics.

Lesbian porn has always been number 1. We gotta stop pretending like porn is only for men.

Something tells me Season 3 in the 80s will be the end of this show for various reasons

They have to show the transition to The Pointe.

I'm actually surprised it too that long for them to figure out they were becoming irrelevant.

 

[Cave Savage]

man, I don't the average cat knows or even thinks about how much work it takes to do a period piece. especially when they gotta shoot it on location and have to dress it up to make it look old and authentic.

That's true. At least for New York though, there actually are old buildings everywhere. And there actually is litter everywhere.

James Franco NY accent

James Franco playing 2 roles still annoys me, there was no good reason for them to do that other than to save money. At least they have completely different haircuts this time around.

And I can't believe Abby is 38 in real life (around the same age as Maggie Gyllenhaal)

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Season's been weak thus far, they need to pick it up.

 

[Lefty Gunz]

Uh did anyone watch tonight? Is that rudys guy (think its tony) poppin frankie cause why would vince be at a funeral laying flowers?

Could be the other gay guy tho i cant be sure. Looks like vince but they have same hair/stache. I can see rudy killin his bf just to make him fall back in line now that the horse is starting shyt and tony burnt down his parlor. They gon take everything they can get.

For some reason i feel like frankie owning this joint gonna end up making him rich lol. Hope they dont kill him.

 

[bangbreh]

Set shyt up well for the next episode
That last scene with ol girl confronting CC was pretty tense. He's getting his reality check of how unneeded he is anymore and is gonna snap.
