“The Deuce” Goes To L.A.
I don’t love the series, but I loved the opening of last night’s “The Deuce”: CC (Gary Carr) opens up a car trunk and takes out his pimp cane. He is at the airport, taking his first flight. “Will I need my coat in the plane?†he asks Lori (Emily Meade), who is playfully teasing him about his naivety and lack of understanding about time zones. “We go back in time? I don’t play that shit,†he says after being told about the three-hour difference between his native New York and Los Angeles, the emerging hotbed of porn that the couple are due to visit for an adult awards show.
