The Deuce still looks amazing, and it's linking character and image with more care than most shows on TV.

Simon and his co-creator, George Pelecanos, scripted the episode... they're clever about unifying this close-knit world when they can.

[The Deuce] didn't flash its fangs all that much, but after this big a time jump -- a whopping five years -- we got an enjoyable [premiere] that gave us a tour of everyone's new life.

The Deuce, improbably, is Simon and Pelecanos' version of Cheers. This rotten city is the bar where everyone knows David Simon's name... and god damn it; I want them to know my name too.

Though a little narratively clunky, it's a clever gambit that's all but necessary for The Deuce, a show that depends on complete immersion into the ins and outs of various establishments.

It's a lively premiere, even though precious little happens in it. Season One did such a good job establishing these people and this world that all we really need is to be thrown back into the middle of it for a while to get re-acclimated.

What makes this all work is that it isn't so simple. This is David Simon and George Pelecanos. Of course it wouldn't be.

Staying true to the character-study nature of the series, not a lot - aside from a time jump to 1977 and some slick disco moves - happened. Which is not to say that the episode... was boring.

There isn't a whole lot of story to "Our Raison d'Être," but it's propelled forward by the search for Frankie and the overriding sensation that change is the only thing any of these people can count on.
