Has set a slightly lighter tone than the first series. The series successfully manages to blend a prurient fascination with the sleazier side of life with a consideration of the ethics of the time.

The whole cast gets remarkably deep character arcs, and it brings 1977 back alive. This show is totally addictive.

The Deuce's clunkier interludes only look more so given that Gyllenhaal is doing career-best work as Candy, in such an extraordinary performance that everyone else pales by comparison.

Even at its most boring, it maintains the viewer's attention. The performances continue to be thoroughly impressive.

This extraordinary, richly textured series from The Wire creator David Simon is the most evocative show on air right now, in the sense that nothing else so vividly renders a specific time and place.

Each narrative strand works to prove a point and tell an intriguing story, and yet for as compelling - and complicated - as the Martino brothers' lives remain, all of their hustle and bustle pales in comparison to the work done by Maggie Gyllenhaal.

I would not call The Deuce's vision of morality a sign of progress, but HBO's drama about the sex trade in 1970s New York City does present a different way to think about female desire and agency inside sexist systems.

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.

Season two doesn't have the tightest plotting or the most heart-stopping storylines, but that's hardly the point. It slugs across the screen with its funky outfits and its quotidian heartbreaks.
