The show looks at the rise of the porn industry in 1970s New York and naturally features a wealth of saucy sex scenes. In one such erotic scene, Candy dons a blonde wig and locks lips with another woman while revealing her bare breasts. She is seen kneeling on the floor while staring up at […]
You’ve gotta give the makers of The Deuce this: if they were weirdly coy about the topic of pornography in last week’s pilot episode, they’re clearly intending to make up for lost time in the second installment, “Show and Prove.” In fact, the very first scene after the opening credits (those divine opening credits) is […]
