HBO The Deuce Season 2 Episode 2 review: As the peep shows take center stage, Candy finds inspiration

'There's an Art to This' serves as a transition from the time porn started peaking to 1977 when it flourished. There's ambitions crowning and frustrations bubbling on 'The Deuce'
UPDATED SEP 18, 2018

We are just into the second episode of 'The Deuce' in season two of the TV drama series and things are already starting to fall apart for our friends in the business. Episode two lays the foundation for the downfall that is to come slowly. We know one thing for sure - the connections that were made in season one have sort of turned into a hierarchical order for the people running The Deuce. Ironically, the ones on the top of the food chain are the most fragile.

The exploitation is just as severe but disguised under the veil of stardom.
