■ THE DEUCE: “INSIDE THE PRETEND”

HBO, 9 p.m.

Season Finale! Sex sells in the season ender of this drama set in notoriously seedy ‘70s-era Times Square. Prostitute turned film director Candy (Maggie Gyllenhaal) basks in the premiere glow of her gritty art-porn riff on Little Red Riding Hood. Meanwhile, mob-backed nightlife impresario Vincent (James Franco) and Abby (Margarita Levieva) deal with a devastating loss, and budding adult-movie star Lori (Emily Meade) faces fallout from her split with former pimp and lover C.C. (Gary Carr). FYI, the show has already been renewed for a third and final round.
