HBO: The Deuce (David Simon, Premieres September 10th 2017)

[Simple Torture]

Still no premiere date, but some images have started leaking out. I imagine it'll premiere a few weeks after Game of Thrones ends.

This is either going to be really good or terrible like Vinyl.

My expectations for this are sky-high after Show Me A Hero. I wasn't too intrigued by the top of the cast list, but when you start to go down to the smaller names (especially the alums of The Wire and Treme) things start to get really interesting.

If it's David Simon it has to be good.

Wife. Dinner Party. Thanks.

I love David Simon but this is not a subject matter I have any interest in at all.

This is where I stand at the moment. I will watch the first few episodes and decide.

The subject matter is entirely irrelevant to me. His last series was about public housing segregation in Yonkers. and was incredible.

Now that we have a GoT premiere date and we know they'll have 7 episodes, I imagine this will premiere either Labor Day weekend or the week after. Unless they push it up to early summer, which would mean it'd have to premiere before Memorial Day. As you can tell, I'm still extremely excited.

Good job by me! Premieres 9/10.

[Norah]

Can't fucking wait for this.

[washing machine]

I'm still scared this will be a flop like Vinyl, but that's just me being overly cautious. This is a David Simon show about a city and people FFS.

[The Argonaut]

The x factor here is not 'takes place in the '70s', evoking the failure of Vinyl. The x factor is 'David Simon', and the man can do wrong. Vinyl was the guys behind Boardwalk Empire, which was never more than good.

[Norah]

yup
