David Simon's new show on HBO has a lot of flashy elements going for it: it stars James Franco as twin brothers who become fronts for the Mob, it explores the emerging porn industry in '70s New York, and of course it comes from the creator of The Wire. But for Simon, the show is about much more than just those flashy elements; it's about exploring what happened to the porn industry at its start and how that's still relevant today.
"I'm much less interested in whether porn is good or bad in a moral sense ... as I am in the way power and money array themselves, and how society arranges themselves into some people are victims and some people are victimized," Simon said during a panel for The Deuce at the 2017 summer TV Critics' Association press tour. "I'm much more interested in the way when a product becomes a product and an industry becomes an industry and how that is now market capitalism, and also how labor is treated or not treated."
