Making series or films that manage to combine sensitive themes in their plots is extremely outstanding because not all directors and scriptwriters manage to fuse complicated themes in a way that neither opaque the other and that the whole production stands out as a whole. Well, The Deuce is a series that fantastically manages to unite in its plot topics such as porn, prostitution, drugs and other abuses in a story with a constant rhythm that in each chapter gives us dozens of intense and fascinating scenes.

The series focuses on showing us through different characters and stories the beginnings of porn from prostitution all through the particular stories of women who decided to dedicate their lives to give pleasure. It is really incredible and super entertaining to see how the series handles the whole sexual theme that constantly takes over the focus of the story using it simply as a dressing to deeper stories, stories of overcoming that are transmitted through the lives of women who loved what they did and who dedicated themselves to it even knowing all the controversy that existed behind porn and prostitution. Here we don't see the typical helpless and damaged prostitutes who want to change their lives, here we see committed women who use their sexuality to take advantage of a world of men who constantly leave them aside.

In addition to the sexual issue related to porn and prostitution, the plot of this series also stands out for constantly including social nuances related to other real problems of the society of that time, problems that were more serious but that were covered by corrupt people who only focused on hindering the path of "enterprising" women. All the atmosphere that is created from the different subplots of the characters catch us because we constantly see the different problems that arise from a world full of vices and addictions, problems that make the characters shine giving them memorable, emotional and super intense moments where they take over the screen.

No character is used in a passing way, here the characters stand out at all times being them who make the stories interesting through situations that leave us impacted by the quality so great they offer.

The different sub-plots allow us to see the constant evolution of the characters until reaching that peak of success for which they had worked so much, to see how a prostitute becomes such a respected and powerful figure in the world of porn after having had to go through such humiliating and intense moments that put her on the verge of a psychological collapse is simply fascinating because it allows us to explore the different facets that a character can develop if given enough time to do so. No character seems accelerated each one is evolving or regressing organically to the rhythm it deserves, allowing us as spectators to form a connection with them, even the vilest characters in the series become essential elements of the plot because they give it an added value that no other element can give it.

# # Final Thoughts # This is undoubtedly one of my favorite series of the present time, a series that recently ended its season in a wonderful way showing us extreme nuances of all this world of porn, where we could appreciate the different negative and positive contrasts that an industry so powerful has, an industry that besides generating millions of dollars is also capable of drying lives and corrupting everything it touches.

For me this series deserves awards for the way in which it manages to include different themes so complex and often grotesque in a light plot that never tires and that constantly offers us memorable scenes full of a plot climax worthy of the most dramatic and intense superhero movies. During the chapters we will become addicted to this series and its characters because we will connect with their lives, with their problems and above all with their dreams. What else can I say? This series has it all, a super entertaining plot, some intense, dramatic and funny characters and a retro staging that gives it that 80's touch where we can appreciate all the contrasts of the time in an incredible way.

Run and go see it NOW!
