Date: April 25th, 2019 5:24 PM Author: razzmatazz legend selfie the deuce is pretty good--one of the best hbo shows of the last 5 or even 10 years. you might like high maintenance, although i think the episodes are hit or miss and there are a fair number of misses.

|
Date: April 25th, 2019 5:40 PM Author: razzmatazz legend selfie look at the metacritic scores. it's been very well received. but of course it won't suit all tastes. i thought the wire (made by some of the same dudes) was a bore and not that smart. of course some others liked it a bit more than that.

Date: April 25th, 2019 5:50 PM Author: soggy pozpig set If you give a lot for shock value then sure. The topic is edgy, the characters are edgy, there's a lot of nudity and sex scenes including gross gay ones that you should be ready to fast forward though. Otherwise, it isn't actually that entertaining, funny, interesting, well written, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4248736&forum_id=2#38142409) |

Date: April 25th, 2019 10:54 PM Author: razzmatazz legend selfie i certainly don't always agree with the critics but in this case i think their views on the show make more sense than fish's. i also don't much care to try to change someone's mind on a matter of aesthetics.

Date: April 26th, 2019 10:43 AM Author: geriatric jet private investor I have to agree with TMF. It's good but not nearly as great as it could be given the theme and setting. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4248736&forum_id=2#38145637) |
|
Date: April 26th, 2019 10:53 AM Author: soggy pozpig set Agreed. I mean, the theme and the setting is the draw. The acting is solid. But, for example, you have the mob as a key group, but you can't compare their plot aspects to say, the Sopranos.
Oh look, the guy gets involved with some hot slut that dropped out of Columbia because she couldn't hack it and is in an open relationship. Uh, ok. Oh, we'll make it more interesting, she's a FEMINIST! Wow! Oh, but we need to spice this up. He'll fund a gay bar. Oh, let's do a gay sex scene! Okok, cut to a hooker on the street. We'll have her fuck a John and argue with her pimp. Again. When it starts to get boring we'll have a pimp beat someone up or stab them (it can be the hooker, the John, or someone else). Ok, cut to a porn shoot. Look, it's porn! Ok, we've got to mix this up a bit. Here's an honest black cop in a somewhat racist corrupt precinct. Do we win an award?
It is fine, it just could be much better. It survives on focusing on an interesting subject and time period rather than on good writing, plot, etc. |

Date: April 26th, 2019 4:27 PM Author: razzmatazz legend selfie I think it’s good or maybe very good and not great. But HBO hasn’t produced that many noteworthy shows (as in worthy of note because good) over the past decade. It’s better than e.g. Girls right?

the show creators said they wanted to make a spiritually true-to-life homage to that time and place. maybe they did, and really just couldn't help themselves. either way the show reveals a lot more truth about the perverse fantasy world David Simon lives in than it does about its purported subject matter |
