HBO's Porn Drama THE DEUCE

[dc007]

Don't forget about the red head!

I know that girl. She posted to insta about going to the premier and was like oh shit did she book that show? I looked it up and there she was.

Have no interest in this show. Seems try hard. HBO's next series will probably be an actual porno.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Well, it was interesting to say the least. I'll stay with it for a while but even the nudity isnt that great. Hope it goes somewhere.

 

[Ikuza]

Well at least the next episode is finally coming out next week.

 

[wisdom blows]

Was ok. I liked it enough to keep watching. We'll see where it goes.

Not sure why you guys think 70's porn stars or 70's NYC street hookers were super attractive.

 

[HereticBD]

Solid premiere. Lord knows we need Sunday night show right now, and this will suffice.

I am a little concerned at how long they can stretch this material out for though. It seems like the first season will be about the mainstream porn boom in the 70's, but where the hell do you go from there? The subject matter seems limiting. Like it would be a side plot within a larger show.

Still though, good start.

"Porn drama." HBO running out of ideas and not just using soft core porn as a feature but now a full blown story plot?

I don't see the problem. Boogie Nights was a "porn drama". There is some interesting material to explore within the era and subject matter.

I am wondering how far HBO is going to push it though. Wouldn't be surprised if they push the envelope a step further, and show a few hardcore scenes here and there.

Its cheap. They've seen how some tits makes people not notice bad writing so they figure they'll just go full on porn.

The reason people are going to check this out and watch it is because of the word "porn."

"Porn" would be in the title, if that was case. One of the creators of "The Wire" is working on this, so it's not like it's being done without a high creative pedigree behind it, either.

I think it's a more cheap, short sighted criticism to just boil it down to HBO wanting to show tits for ratings.

They absolutely do, even on their good shows. How often is there nudity central to the plot? Pretty much never.

When is it ever central to any plot, in a movie or show? Very rarely. Who cares though? If your movie is R-rated, or you have a premium cable network where that freedom is afforded, why not do it? It's also used to help sell you on the authenticity of the scene in a lot of instances. You could make the same argument that you're making, for blood, or profanity.

why does it have to be central to the plot? What if instead it is just part of the every day interactions of normal people and unlike in the more prudish past where it was left out, hinted at or hidden they now just show it because, why not?

People are checking it because it's David Simon, on HBO and has a solid cast.

I'm hooked.

As said above, people will check it out because it's David Simon's (The Wire) new show. If you're too prudish for the subject matter, may I suggest some wholesome sitcoms such as The Big Bang Theory or Everybody Loves Raymond?

Kind of funny how America is such an embarrassingly conservative country when it comes to nudity and sex yet is the mecca of porn and has no qualms about watching ultra-violent media.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Maggie shows her titties and theyre fucking grossssssss.


Like two fried eggs nailed to the wall

Seano is one of the biggest dorks that has existed.

Knowing that makes his posts easier to swallow. He's a just a huge geek

I wish the brothers were played by two different actors and not just Franco playing both characters.


I hate when an actor plays twins.

A moment of silence for Maggie G's pankcake tits. Man, they were depressing. She's got method tits.
Show itself is okay. Nothing that hasn't been seen before.
