I finished all three seasons of The Deuce and I really loved it! HBO show about New York between the 70s-80s based around the porn industry and sex workers. Don’t let James Franco put you off, he’s by far the least interesting thing about it. Maggie Gyllenhaal shines, as do all the women in it tbh. It depicts sex workers with a grace and humanity that TV so rarely allows them, and shows the bad and the good that sex work brought them. Very much society = bad, not sex workers/sex work in itself.

Even though Vincent Gallo might not agree, Soderbergh has hit some unbelievable highs in his career (Ocean’s Eleven, The Girlfriend Experience, Traffic), and apart from Twin Peaks: The Return, a film director has never goated television as hard as The Knick.  Performances of the life from Clive Owen and Eve Hewson and my favorite TV score of all time -- big shouts to Cliff Martinez.

I’ve been really ill and binge rewatched it this weekend. It’s so gripping. I find the sexual dynamics it explores particularly fascinating.

I am by no means traditionally religious, but I fully understand how being in the presence of beautiful stained glass can feel like being with god. ALWAYS stop off at a church on the way if you think it might have good stained glass. The bluebells in the bottom right corner of this made me loose my breath for a moment.
