Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of Sept. 1712 of 14
Gritty Urban Underbelly Renewal of the Week
David Simon and George Pelecanos, the creators of "The Wire" and "Treme," have knocked it out of the park again with "The Deuce," the new HBO show set in Times Square in the 1970s. James Franco plays low-life identical twins Vincent and Frankie Martino and Maggie Gyllenhaal is the prostitute-turned-porn star who is working her way up by getting behind the camera, not in front of it. Only two episodes into Season 1, "The Deuce" has already been renewed for another season. We're already looking forward to it!
