Matty the Horse is in both seasons and this season they also had a quick scene with The Chin. In one of the episodes they specifically mention the Genovese family because Matty the Horse really had control of a lot of the XXX stores of the time, it fits with the story. The Deuce is not a mob show per se so all that other shit would be shoehorning and distracting from the story they want to tell.


Season one has a scene with Mickey Spillane.
