THE DEUCE
HBO, 9:00 p.m. ET
SERIES FINALE: This is the end of the latest series from David Simon and company – which means, for sure, it’s the night’s very best bet. And though James Franco had a flashy dual role for much of The Deuce, the runaway star has turned out to be Maggie Gyllenhaal. Her character of Candy started this series as a defiantly independent street prostitute (pictured), and is ending it as a defiantly independent filmmaker of female erotica.
