This was already made as a movie!


It was called Boogie Nights.

1) Boogie Nights, set on the West Coast, starts around the time that the porn industry dramatically changed due to the introduction of VHS and consumer-level video cassettes. The Deuce, set on the East Coast, starts earlier in the decade (from what I've read), around the time when adult movie theaters started showing explicit porn (as opposed to sexploitation films).

2) Even if they covered the exact same time period and locale, do you honestly think the documentation/interpretation of such a massive cultural phenomenon should be limited to a single one by a single writer/director?

Well said!

I agree well said. I'm surprised there aren't more movies on this topic.

"Boogie Nights" was filmed in California. "The Deuce", New York.

Im loving the show. I love New York grit.

Agreed!

The only part I am not thrilled with is the twin brother route... Just distracting, and not sure its even needed, but we shall see.
