The Deuce S1-3

This series may be about the porn industry but it's far from smutty. Rather, it's an intelligent, pacy look at a moment in time when porn was something a little closer to art.

Starring James Franco and Maggie Gyllenhaal, the series is set in the 70s and 80s. In the third and final season, we’re in 1985. VHS has become the primary medium for pornography and the Aids epidemic has changed the industry for the better. The Emmy-winning show stars Franco as twins Vince and Frankie, and Maggie Gyllenhaal as former sex worker Eileen, also known as Candy, who becomes a successful adult film director.
