Once upon a time in America, pleasure became a business.
HBO剧集《堕落街传奇》聚焦70、80年代纽约色情产业的发展，色情行业的迅速膨胀把曼哈顿变成风月之城，但随着艾滋病的上升、毒品和暴力的泛滥，以及房地产业的更迭，色情行业被渐渐肃清。在色情行业的鼎盛时期，一对孪生兄弟成为色情业的霸主，并具有绝对的主导权。这对孪生兄弟由詹姆斯·弗兰科担当。 编剧大卫·西蒙称："该剧想要探讨的是当一个社会只剩下逐利时意味着什么，所以这部剧既非色情的，也非清教徒的，而是关于一个产业，以及创造这个产业同时又被产业塑造的人物。这里有引人入胜的故事，性格丰富的角色，光怪陆离的色情业，我猜你们已经迫不及待想要看到它。”
