Vanderdeath posted:drat, I thought she was like maybe 24 or 25, not nearly 40. But yeah, her character is the one most out of place thus far.  holy poo poo she's older than I am. Yeah I would have guessed 25 tops. Guess I feel like less of a creep now. The only scene so far that really had my eyes rolling was when she changed the radio station. The second she leaned over I thought "lemme guess the velvet underground is going to conveniently be playing on the next station because that would be too precious" and sure enough. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 07:26 on Oct 23, 2017 |

Throatwarbler posted:I don't understand why she is here or what narrative or plot purpose she is serving Yeah I'm not sure where she fits into the puzzle either. I initially thought she would end up in the role that MG seems to be falling into.

Oh yeah. What did the guy try to do to the country girl that freaked her out? I couldn't understand a word of what anyone was saying in that scene.

Well, time to get on it then. it's basically all of the things that make the Deuce great but it's probably actually better.

Aurubin posted:Man, the post episode wrapup makes the ending even sadder, considering it was based in truth and not just an attempt at doing something shocking. Just to be sure, the pusher was just some random rear end in a top hat right? At least I didn't recognize him. I also didn't really get the significance of the revelation that he knew who Ruby's pimp was.

Aurubin posted:I think it was the same guy who beat up Eileen. And I think the implication was that he wasn't afraid of Method Man. Ahh ok. I figured they were setting up a villain there but I couldn't figure out what was relevant about him outside of the scene with Ruby.

Good call. Although With the way the show is going I'd say 100% cop. Actually the mob guys are one of the most interesting things about this show to me. It's a really different portrayal of the mafia than I've seen in other entertainment. They aren't the bloodthirsty psychopaths you usually see, waiting to snap at any moment. You know they are capable of violence and murder, but it's a last resort. And the amount of intimidation they are capable of seems limited. They feel pretty believable compared to most mob stuff. Even in stuff like the sopranos they are basically just a bunch of omnipresent serial killers.

Probably half way through the season, right before she starts doing porn. It's what causes her to want a change. Method man tries to use it as a reason to let him pimp her out.

It doesn't help how disconnected Abbey was from the rest of the story for half of the season. And then when she does link up with it, it's not particularly eventful and it's hard to parse why she is more relevant than any of the side characters. It's like if they had devoted 20% of the screen time to the gay bartender for 5 episodes just to reveal that he would eventually meet James Franco and...bartend for him. Although maybe it's not a good comparison because he is a more interesting character than Abbey. I don't even dislike her at all. I just don't know where she fits in as a main character. She's super hot I guess.

In absence of the Deuce I've decided to finally knock Generation Kill and Treme off the bucket list. About half way through GK and holy poo poo this show is amazing. I can't believe I've been like "meh I'll watch this later" for close to a decade. It's like a totally jaded version of Band of Brothers with matching production values. I was expecting something much more small scale.

Jerusalem posted:I don't think a single character wasn't in some way compelling or interesting, and I'm so loving thrilled that Lawrence Gilliard survived the season and will hopefully be around for the long haul I'm glad to see him back on something good after TWD wasted his charms for 2 seasons. So far the show isn't really that violent. it's kind of refreshing watching a show, let alone an HBO show and not constantly wondering who's going to die in this episode.
