What BollyAI Thinks
The final season moves into the mid-1980s, bringing the AIDS crisis, the crack epidemic, and the corporate clean-up of Times Square into a finale the 88% Rotten Tomatoes figure marked as a slight dip from Season 2's near-perfect run but still emphatic approval. The show's willingness to portray the real-estate forces that would ultimately sanitise the Deuce as their own form of violence gave the ending moral complexity. Candy's journey from street worker to aspiring filmmaker reaches a conclusion that refuses cheap resolution. A worthy, if occasionally hurried, close to one of the decade's most ambitious HBO dramas.

Season Over Season
Season 3 is necessarily more mournful than its predecessors - the AIDS epidemic enters the story and the gentrification of Times Square announces the end of the world the show has been building for three seasons.
