Josh Reviews The Deuce: Season Three
You didn’t watch The Deuce? Even though it was the latest show masterminded by David Simon, who created The Wire? Look, I get it. A TV show about the porn business in New York City in the seventies and eighties was a tough sell for many people. I wasn’t even sure,
