It goes from Times Square to the founding of the modern porn industry. It’s hard to watch and brutal but really well written.

Idk I get the feeling from screenshots, that it's all just vibes. Meanwhile I guess the story is "huh looks like this stuff can be very damaging to people 🤷" and the credits roll.

They detail a cross section of characters. It’s not the drop in archetypes, and it is rather seedy. Certainly dispels the nostalgia of suburban NJ tourists who thought Times Square was edgy.

> So it's more about being something for people in the general area so to speak?
It’s a story of exploitation and people surviving. Everyone is taking advantage of someone else and beholden to someone else. It has some good politics and is written by some of The Wire denizens.
