The Deuce saved its best, and its worst, for last.

The Deuce, like much of David Simon's work, is about making the audience look at people whom society refuses to acknowledge, and the Season 1 finale put its spotlight on Ruby.

"My Name Is Ruby" is a fantastic season finale with a couple of strange, out-of-character moments, the type that initially made me question the necessity of stretching past the hour-long mark.

The Deuce isn't the type of show to make uncomplicated villains out of anyone, but this final episode quiets the violins over the marginalization of the Times Square pimps.

The episode's organizing principle is to depict the spectrum of success: There are people on steady ground and there are people who feel unmoored in their own environment, and most of the time they're walking next to each other.

A fitting season finale for The Deuce.
