TrailerTimes Square, 1977. After his early successes managing the Hi-Hat and French Parlor, Vincent is now proprietor of a new mob-backed disco, Club 366, while his girlfriend Abby has brought the nascent punk-rock culture into the Hi-Hat. Vincent’s twin brother, Frankie, remains a problem, “borrowing” money from Show Land, the sex emporium he manages, to pay off his debts. Candy, now a “triple threat” as a porn actress, producer and director, is looking to make more artful, ambitious adult films, over the objections of her collaborator, Harvey. C.C. pulls a con on Bernie Wolf, the director of a porn film starring Lori, to get her more money. Hoping to launch a more upscale gay nightclub, Paul looks to sever mob ties from his current bar. Alston, now a homicide detective, is approached by Gene Goldman, a civil servant appointed by Mayor Koch to clean up Times Square.Genre: DramaActors: James Franco, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Carr, Daniel Sauli, Kim Director, Mustafa Shakir, Sepideh Moafi, Gino Vento, Dominique Fishback, Lawrence Gilliard Jr., Margarita Levieva, ...»Director: Alex Hall, Uta Briesewitz, James Franco, Michelle MacLaren, Roxann Dawson, Ernest R.

Critic Reviews of "The Deuce - Season 2"
New York Magazine/VultureSeptember 11, 2018Though a little narratively clunky, it's a clever gambit that's all but necessary for The Deuce, a show that depends on complete immersion into the ins and outs of various establishments.
New York TimesSeptember 10, 2018Simon and his co-creator, George Pelecanos, scripted the episode... they're clever about unifying this close-knit world when they can.
Rolling StoneSeptember 10, 2018It's a lively premiere, even though precious little happens in it. Season One did such a good job establishing these people and this world that all we really need is to be thrown back into the middle of it for a while to get re-acclimated.
AV ClubSeptember 10, 2018There isn't a whole lot of story to "Our Raison d'Être," but it's propelled forward by the search for Frankie and the overriding sensation that change is the only thing any of these people can count on.
TV LineSeptember 11, 2018Staying true to the character-study nature of the series, not a lot - aside from a time jump to 1977 and some slick disco moves - happened. Which is not to say that the episode... was boring.
IGN MoviesSeptember 11, 2018[The Deuce] didn't flash its fangs all that much, but after this big a time jump -- a whopping five years -- we got an enjoyable [premiere] that gave us a tour of everyone's new life.
Den of GeekSeptember 10, 2018The Deuce, improbably, is Simon and Pelecanos' version of Cheers. This rotten city is the bar where everyone knows David Simon's name... and god damn it; I want them to know my name too.
The Daily BeastSeptember 10, 2018What makes this all work is that it isn't so simple. This is David Simon and George Pelecanos. Of course it wouldn't be.
Paste MagazineSeptember 10, 2018The Deuce still looks amazing, and it's linking character and image with more care than most shows on TV.
