A good end

So the final series as we now enter 1985. The porn industry is changing with the introduction of VHS and also camcorders available. The prostitution game has changed as well meaning less money for organised crime, drug deals are being done, relationships of the main characters are going in different directions. Street crime has become a problem and the city what to clean up the Deuce to make way for million dollar property investments. The Hiv illness is also rife at the time.
Maybe slightly weaker than the first 2 series and overall not as dramatic in terms of storylines, but still with some big surprises. If you have invested in the first 2 series it's worth watching this to see how it turns out for the characters.
