So I finished season 1 of The Deuce.
In the end it felt like a prelude, a pilot that'd been stretched out over an entire 8 episode season. I dunno, David Simon was apparently guaranteed 3 seasons by HBO so he had that space but taking 8 episodes to set the scene for season 2 (which I've not seen yet) is a bit much. Beyond that, the whole thing just fell flat for me: Too preachy and too many characters that're either too boring to care about or too cliched to believe in.
