    I don’t have Disney+ so haven’t seen the new show. I adored the Netflix show. Can you explain what you mean? I may watch the new one eventually, but I am curious.

        I think it’s a different type of grit, for sure different than the Netflix series. I’m 3 episodes in, and there’s many actors who were on The Deuce, it’s like a weird mashup, substituting the sex in The Deuce for vigilantism, and obviously modern. Still though, the politics with Fisk, the focus on less established media, and corrupt law enforcement, it seems like a watered down version of what we’d get if David Simon made a Marvel series.
