10 Reasons Why You Should Be Watching ‘The Deuce’

9. A Glimpse at the Birth of Modern-Day New York

The Time’s Square of modern New York would be something completely alien to the people who occupied it just 40 years ago. In its way, The Deuce is the beginning of that story. The first season of The Deuce covers the transition from Time Square’s prostitution hey day to the proliferation of semi-legitimate porn theaters about 18 months later. It’s the beginning of New York’s upward spiral, to a place where a four-story Olive Garden can thrive. At the end of season one, there’s a long way to go, but the first steps have been taken.
