Currently half way through the first series of
The Deuce.
Going into it thinking it was going be similar to
Boogie Nights but in tv format i was pleasantly surprised that it's much more than that and basically encompasses life in 1970's New York primarily the 42nd Street area.
Featuring budding porn film makers, bar owners, hookers and their pimps as well as the cops that police the streets,
The Deuce is a brilliantly involving slice of life which is often dramatic, occasionally funny, at times disturbing and remarkably revealing.
Both Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Franco (Both in photo below), in a dual role, are outstanding and from what i've seen i highly recommend
The Deuce.
