Anyone watching this? It depicts Times Square in the 70s when it was run by sex workers, pimps and dirty cops. The cinematography is amazing. Really well done with strong characters. Maggie Gyllenhaal is amazing.
Some triggering scenes of violence (some short scenes that hit me in the gut.)

It took longer than I care to admit he is playing two characters. He is, right? Lol |

I'm watching! I am a sucker for anything set in NY in the 70s. I still have to catch up with last night's episode.

The 70 ' s were such a hot mess. Bad fashion, nobody wore a bra, disco....

I'm loving it. I don't catch everything that is going on, but I think it is super well done. I love all of David Simon's shows. The Wire is my fave show of all time.

We finally watched the latest episode last night, cannot believe there's already been 7!
Do you think Dorthy (Ashley) is really leaving or will she come back? What is up with Abby and her ?hatred with her parent and their money/power? What is she trying to accomplish?
The 14th precinct is wicked and from my limited understanding very representative of the dirty way they actually operated.
e2a: wow! the scene at the diner- my favorite from this episode and my new found love for Leon!
