'The Deuce' finale review: Larry Brown emerges a true gentleman
'The Deuce' season 2 finale, 'Inside the Pretend' leaves us a parting gift — Larry Brown. This isn't the man we first met but he's definitely the man we want to see next season
"Pimp is a role, so is whore. You pretended to be one and I pretended to be another. But once you start letting a girl inside the pretend, it’s over. Ain’t it?"
HBO's 'The Deuce' wrapped up its second season over the weekend. A phenomenal second season, it turned the dingy allies of New York into the well-lit parlors full of peep shows. It did so with elan, taking its own time and revealing its dirty secrets with no remorse. The exploitation was immense and so was the crimes, but in the midst of it all emerged a flower we never thought we would see — a pimp named Larry Brown.
