Having watched The Wire in its entirety 5-6 times now, and always maintained that I’ll go to my grave without ever seeing a show as good as it in my lifetime, I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to give The Deuce a whirl, but it has.
What a huge mistake that’s been. This show is incredible. I finished S02 last night and I’ve spent all day today thinking about it and looking forward to starting S03 later.
The writing. The acting. The sets. The soundtrack. All of the utmost quality. What a truly brilliant piece of film-making. I’ve heard S03 is arguably the best of the three seasons, as it turns out, so I can’t wait to get stuck into it. Anyone trying to find something to watch? Give this a chance. It’s superb.
