HBO Now September Highlights (Including ‘The Deuce,’ ‘Vice Principals,’ and ‘La La Land’)

Summer is winding down, but HBO Now’s content certainly isn’t. Excellent television continues even though Game of Thrones is over, as Vice Principals returns for a second season and the hotly anticipated show, The Deuce, rolls out. Additionally, some huge theatrical releases are making their debut on the streaming service, including La La Land, Hidden Figures, Why Him?, Assassin’s Creed, A Monster Calls, and Traders. If you’re planning on catching some older films like Slumdog Millionaire, American Psycho, Dumb and Dumber, and Mamma Mia!, you’ll definitely want to catch them before they’re gone this month.

The Deuce

Two James Francos for the price of one! The Wire‘s creator David Simon is taking a stab at the rise of the porn industry in 1970s and 80s New York City in The Deuce, exploring the “rough-and-tumble world at the pioneering moments of what would become the billion-dollar American sex industry.” From a talent like Simon and a great cast, this is definitely one to add to your Must Watch list.

Vice Principals

It’s a shame that this dark and hilarious show is only going to have two seasons, it’s been a joy to watch Danny McBride and Walton Goggins duke it out as bitter rivals. As McBride’s Gamby recovers from his gunshot wounds, the two are now united against a common enemy in the school’s principal. Will they manage to take down Principal Belinda Brown (Kimberly Herbert Gregory) and bring Gamby’s assassin to justice? You’ll just have to tune in to find out.

La La Land

Thanks to the Oscar snafu, the notoriety of La La Land may have eclipsed what it really was: a light, enjoyable romance that proved that the chemistry between Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling was no fluke in Crazy Stupid Love. Sometimes you just want to watch two beautiful people fall in love, and La La Land is one of the best examples of that in a long time. Ignore the backlash and let yourself get lost in the jazz.
