ThisThe Deucereview contains spoilers.
And now, frankly,The Deucereally is doing just that.
sets up two narrative threads away from the Hi-Hat.
Its quite the narrative hat trick when porn is treated as anupgradefor a womans health.
As Eileen helpfully tells a fellow up-and-comer later in the hour, The cameras the john.
In this case, that means the pleasure is for a lens, not her man.
How could it be when he is obviously imagining shes a man?
is obsessive and possessive of all his ladies, and Lori is obviously the new apple of his eye.
to get a cut of that money?
She didnt need him to facilitate the job, nor would she in the future.
Its only a matter of time before they realize pimping actually is a littletoo easyon a film set.
Although Eileen is convinced shes ready for a change, at long last.
And the politics of how its doors flew open are more interesting than the actual operation itself.
On some level, its a beautiful case study in how shit rolls downhill.
Its actually a decent deal.
On the surface, it looks like everyone should be happy, at least for a time.
Even the cops who are also double dipping by charging Vince $1,000 a month to operate in Midtown.
Hes a straight shooter.
However, this likely means he can be shot straight to hell pretty easily if/when things go sideways.
Tellingly, Darlene and Larry reluctantly choose the massage parlor / whorehouse over porn… for now.
