George Pelecanos and David Simon (The Wire, Treme) are back with the second season of The Deuce, and as the trailer suggests, “everything has changed.” Jumping ahead five years from the events of Season 1, The Deuce tells the story of New York City’s famed 42nd Street—nicknamed “The Deuce”—from the early 70s to the mid-80s. Following the violence and corruption of…

Do any of us really have the free will to make our own choices? That’s the underlying theme for the finale of Season 2, and a line from Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins) sums it up like this: in being free, one should be able to question fundamental drives and to override them. From the point…
