Well just caught up with the whole series and I loved it. My two favorite characters have got to be Larry and the blonde porn star I forgot her name Laurie mabey. I know we're not sapose to like the pimps but man Larry didn't seem that bad as far as they go. Also when he was first auditioning for porn was my favorite scene of the whole series!!! "My mom says my teeth are my best feature" "well I hope she's not the audience your going for" shit had me dying!!!

Most of the good HBO stuff will be on Mondays now, with a few exceptions.
If imagine it's more to do with Sunday allready filled with succession and the righteous gemstone. If you don't watch those two series though, your doing yourself a disservice there phenomenal!!!
Cannot fucking wait. The Deuce, The Affair and Mr. Robot all ending in the same period is going to be sad.
I literally just started watching this, it's actually really great. People are sleeping on it. You gotta watch the first episode, it's pretty much an opening movie. It does such a great job subverting expectation after expectation about what you think the characters are about and where they're headed.
Absolutely love this show. Sad to have it off the air, but also kinda thrilled that it's ending in such a planned way. Confident it's gonna go out undefeated!

Loved Wire. Loved Treme. For some reason, this one never grabbed me. Might have to give it another shot.

I'm ready for Paul and Luke Kirby's character to both be hit hard by the AIDS epidemic and it's gonna ruin me.

Yeah pretty slow episode but it's always like this at the beginning of the season. I loved it anyway.
The new setting in the '80s is great, and Blondie in the opening are fucking perfect.
Regarding the characters, Vincent was kind of uninteresting but I wonder if the open relationship thing will end up in HIV spreading. The disease was looming over the episode for the entire time but no main character has it so far, ending it up being one of the "less obvious" would be interesting.
I liked the whole porn storyline with Candy, I wonder what she'll come up with regarding the competitors thing. I can see this spiraling into the various directors trying to one up each other and maybe end up into the creation of porn subgenres and stuff like that, maybe something even darker.
I can easily see Lori ending up the most tragic character already, really hard to see her getting out of the season alive, she's clearly trapped in a world she doesn't want to live in anymore.
Was great seeing Lombardozzi, I just love that actor and his character seems very interesting, I like the whole police crew they have here.
In general, I liked the episode, but yeah it'll take time as usual for things to start to kick off. Didn't notice any difference compared to other season premieres. Deuce is back and I'm sad it's going to be for the last time. What a series.

I liked the first episode. I don't know that I'd characterize it as any more slow than the rest of the show. It makes sense with a time skip and everything to just catch up to where everyone's at and set the stage, if you will. It did well at that goal. I'm excited for the season.
I think the season 2 premiere was similar but more engaging - the lack of all the pimp characters in season 3 (so far) really took a lot of the electricity out of the show imo
Also my girl Darlene was gone too - I hope she shows up at some point, I think she was in one of the trailers?

I'm always amused at the readjustment period for every new season of a David Simon show. None of them feel much slower or faster than any others to me, it's just that few things on TV have this sort of matter-of-fact, blue collar cadence. The S3 premier felt very much like everything else, only transposed into a new era with new societal issues encroaching. There's absolutely a different focus to season 1, but it feels purposeful, not lesser.

The writer for this episode was on The Sopranos he played Little Paulie that's so cool I always liked him on The Sopranos and was sad to not see him in more and now he's writing for one of my favorite tv shows.
