2. The Show Has Really Solid Breeding

If you knew nothing else about The Deuce, the names David Simon and George Pelecanos should be enough to merit your attention. The writers and producers of HBO’s iconic cop drama The Wire as well as the masterminds behind the lyrical New Orleans love note Treme, these creative partners have done more great work in the last fifteen years than most artists do in their entire careers. If you’re looking for a show that stares reality in the face and then helps you wash it down with a dose of humor and poignance, then look for something from David Simon and George Pelecanos.
