    Very strong episode with memorable moments

    Au Reservoir is pretty eventful for a number characters.

    The misogyny portrayed in The Deuce is pretty strong at the best of times, but there are certain individuals you pray will be given a break or get themselves to a better place. This is used to great effect here and thankfully it's offers some rays of hope through the general bleakness of the setting. I was compelled by the scenes involving the character Dorothy and likewise Eileen.

    Everything involving what happens at the brothel and the associated police involvement is another highlight from a storytelling perspective. It makes me want to find out what happens next.

    There is one brutal moment that has been coming, but still shocks when it happens.

    The visuals are incredibly good as alway and the actors all give strong performances.
