THE DEUCE: SEASON 1 (2 EPISODES) FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
The Deuce is an acclaimed HBO television series that delves into the intricate world of New York City's Times Square during the 1970s and early 1980s. This gritty drama offers a profound exploration of the rise of the adult film industry, the quest for sex work legalization, and the intersection of crime and societal change.
Season 1 consists of only two episodes, both of which lay the groundwork for the series' dynamic narrative. The episodes included in the FYC (For Your Consideration) campaign are:
Pilot: The series premiere introduces viewers to the main characters who inhabit this vivid and tumultuous era. It paints a portrait of the economic and cultural landscape of New York City, highlighting the lives of sex workers, pimps, and the men who seek their services, all set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society.
Show and Prove: The second episode deepens the story, revealing more about the personal lives and struggles of the characters. It explores themes of ambition, exploitation, and human connection as the characters navigate through their professions in the burgeoning adult film industry.
Throughout these episodes, viewers are introduced to a rich tapestry of characters, each with their own dreams and desires, as well as the challenges they face in a world that often shows them little compassion. The show skillfully balances gritty realism with moments of dark humor, providing a nuanced portrayal of life in a time and place that was both vibrant and dangerous.
The evocative storytelling weaves together various perspectives, including those of:
Sex Workers: Women and men who work in the adult industry, showcasing their struggles, aspirations, and agency in a world that often seeks to diminish their worth.
Pimps and Brokers: Individuals who navigate the power dynamics of the industry, often in morally gray areas, displaying the consequences of their choices.
Cops and Politicians: Figures who represent the law's complex relationship with sex work, illustrating the societal attitudes towards morality, legality, and personal freedom.
The show features stunning cinematography that captures the essence of the era, from the neon lights of Times Square to the gritty back alleys. The careful attention to detail in costumes, dialogue, and cultural references immerses the viewer in the time period, making it not just a story about individuals, but a reflection on a transformative moment in history.
Overall, The Deuce is not just a dramatization of a historical period; it presents a multi-faceted exploration of human nature, resilience, and the pursuit of dreams in the face of adversity. With its compelling characters and intricate storytelling, this HBO series invites viewers to understand a hidden chapter of American history.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
