D LAND 第 A 蓚 THE PARADISE REFUGEES BELIEVE IT TO BE? IN THE SUMMER OF 2015 , A CURIOUS piece 0f world news brought a flicker of hope to the wretched Syrian city of Palmyra. lslamic State fighters had taken over the ancient town, toppling its monu- ments and executing anyone WhO resisted their draconian rules. And yet at one Of the City'S darkest moments, rumors Of a sanctuary far away began t0 filter ⅲ , gen- erating dreams among a populace that had already lost everything. On Aug. 31 ofthat year, German Chancellor Angela Merkel declared that her country was prepared to take in hundreds ofthousands ofrefu- gees fleeing war in the Middle East. "We can dO this; ” she said in a speech in Ber- lin, calling it a "national duty ” t0 support those in danger. Across Syria, preoccupa- tions with the civil war gave way tO fan- tasies 0f an unlikely new promised land: the Germany ofMama Merkel. The Chancellor suddenly became a positive punch line t0 dark jokes about Syrians' futures, says Yehiya M0ham- mad, a driver from Palmyra wh0 at the time had just been released from one 0f syrian president Bashar Assad's notori- ous prisons.

Reviews Time Off here iS virtuosic. He'S matched in intensity and commitment by Maggie Gyllenhaal as Eileen, a prostitute wh0 proudlyworks without a pimp. NO one's taking a cut, but no one's protecting her either. And we gradually learnjust how violent her clients can be. GyIIenhaal, whose sad-eyed melancholy has moved H011ywood t0 offer her some unfulfilling, underwritten parts, here goes wildly beyond the trope ofhooker-with-a-heart-of-gold. A lot ofthat is in Gyllenhaal's performance, which shows tendernes s under the carapace ofstreet talk (and a wig collection). And a bit more is in the story, which plunges Eileen into the heart of the burgeoning moviemaking industry that, soon enough, will make a star 0f Linda Lovelace and an international headline out 0fDeep T ro .

But on HBO, conversations between streetwalkers at the corner that use the same tone as watercooler gossip tell us all we need tO know. Characters are neither liberated nor oppressed by selling themselves; it's Just a decision they made a long time ago, one supported by a market. This sort ofplainspokenness seems out ofplace ⅲ a TV landscape where operatic morality tales are in vogue. HBO's last attempt at a period drama, last year's Vinyl, placed its characters ⅲ Grand Guign01 situations and passed judgment on their appetites. Elsewhere, big-in-every-sense dramas like This Us and The Handmaid's Tale straln for striking, provocative moments at the expense ofrecognizable humanity,. Many ofthese kinds ofdramas strive tO get our attention by prioritizing lurid outsizeness over character. But The Deuce never loses sight of the human, a Simon signature. For all the drama Ofits plot, it consistently lets us learn about its characters gradually and in relation tO one another. The show, which HBO recently announced Will get a second season, manages tO explore an entire gray-market economy through the eye s Of its participants. lt's a triumph and, better yet, a pleasure. ロ 44 TIME Oct0ber 9 , 2017 TELEVISION Adlon's Sam turning ーれ tO 0 れを 0 工 the most ntihnced**o c れåは e on TV AII happy families, alike but doesn't really like, botching FOR SOMEONE WHO ROSE TO a weekend awaywith a man prominence thanks tO the power she seems tO like a bit more. ofher voice, Pamela Adlon is As a performer, Adlon can play remarkable at being silent.
