re: Anyone watching "The Deuce" (HBO)

Just finished the first 2 episodes. I think the cast of characters is interesting and it seems like a show where thier stories will all merg together once the character development is done. The pimps are rediculious but then they are pimps. I also think it has a Taxi Driver feel to it. They've done a good job capturing the seedy NYC of the 70's. At any point a young Dinero could pull up in his cab.
I did find it funny when the mobster started going on about the "broken window theory" -which came around in the early 80's - but other than that they have stayed pretty true to the time period.
Both episodes left me wanting more.
