And the Mafia, the early backer of pornography at the moment when courts declared for its legality, is now seemingly poised to reap great profits. A comparable &#8211; and, in some ways, more professional &#8211; porn industry is rising on the West Coast as well. But for now, New York is holding its own in a city flush with movies, music and art, as the drug-fueled party rages around the clock.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the moment when it genuinely seemed for the first time that hardcore pornography was going to become mainstreamed into American culture and pysche,&#8221; says David Simon. &#8220;And in a very real sense that would happen to a profound degree, though not in the ways that our protagonists once imagined.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Created by George Pelecanos and David Simon, both veterans of the HBO series &#8220;The Wire&#8221; and &#8220;Treme,&#8221; <em>THE DEUCE<\/em> is executive produced by Pelecanos, Simon, Nina K.
