Once upon a time in America, pleasure became a business.
The story of the legalization and subsequent rise of the porn industry in New York’s Times Square from the early ’70s through the mid ’80s, exploring the rough-and-tumble world that existed there until the rise of HIV, the violence of the cocaine epidemic and the renewed real estate market ended the bawdy turbulence of the area.

Pimps hoes drugs jive talkin n tittays tunes n rides..goddamn I love the 70's
Waiting patiently for the next season
Amazing Amazing Acting across the board. The plot and characters is so moving and powerful that it reminds me of The Wire. James and Maggie were Fantastic.. there best work ever. Definitely needs more following. Can't wait for the next season.
The best way that I can describe this show is that it is a more mature and advanced version of The Wire. While that show certainly had higher highs this show was consistently good from beginning to end and actually got better from one season to the next. And unlike The Wire it knew when its ending was and was able to finish the final season appropriately. The backdrop and the stories are fantastic. The finale..... one of the top 5 in the history of television. I loved it and will miss it terribly. Follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com or facebook IHateBadMovies
This is another masterpiece from the hands of David Simon. As always you get a lovely and very evocative description of the context in which the plot is laid out. The acting is great and the series raises serious questions about prostitution, porn and the HIV AIDS epidemic in a very thoughtful way that points to the problems of these issues without being overtly moralistic about it. The series is highly recommended if you are interested in these topics, in the 70's or 80's and if you like the works of David Simon.
