Chronicles the rise of the porn industry that began in New York City in 1971-72, driven by the gradual legalization of porn and a politically motivated effort to 'clean up' Times Square. Over the course of eight episodes, viewers will get an up-close look at a gritty world of sex, crime, high times and sudden violence, as the porn business begins its climb to legitimacy, cultural permanence, and billion-dollar profitability.

It's 1985 and the party of the '70s is slowing down. 42nd Street has deteriorated into a world of crime, seedy video stores, and peep shows; VHS has overtaken film as porn's primary medium, and the AIDS epidemic has had a devastating impact. Welcome to the third and final season of the gritty HBO series that follows the interconnected lives of barkeeps, prostitutes, pimps, the police, mobsters, and adult film actors and producers in Times Square.

It picks up where its predecessor left off and not only turns back the clock to meet the oldest living stars in adult film's history, but goes in depth with some of its most current retirees and juxtaposes their experiences in a life after porn. Can one live a normal after having performed in adult movies? Delve deeper into society's ongoing stigmas and the reality of decreasing opportunities for these former cover stars.

A memoir from the former porn star and addict Jennie Ketcham, whose stage name was Penny Flame.
