It's officially been renewed for Season 2.
best show on HBO right now

Vinyl was canceled because of the cost of making it vs the amount of people watching it, the licensing of the songs was a huge cost. The Deuce has far less risk involved.

That's not saying much at the moment.

so was Vinyl. Then they cancelled it.

IMO, this show suffers from the same: all setting and no story.

I appreciate HBO putting in the effort to capture the feel of NYC in the 70s, but they need to have a compelling story in order to capture the audience. It is not enough to just have people living their 1970s lives on screen and filming it.

Simon said it's planned for three seasons so they might let them finish it.

Like they did with Rome?

So much this. Without a compelling story I can't even get into the players since there isn't that type or performance in the show.

It seems cheaper than Rome, they don't need to put together all those Roman armors, they just need to give Maggie a condom.

>Only 800k people are watching

It's HBO though, they don't get as high of ratings as network cable.
