Yeah, a bit of a slow start but moody and great looking. I have no idea what the case is going to be yet, but I am glad they showed why Mason is not going to stay practicing civil law.

This is such a good show. It’s certainly not action packed but it’s always so fascinating to watch and the episode just flew by.
It’s also visually stunning. The attention to detail in the early 30s sets just looks so authentic.
The first episode was a good set up. Perry has a conscience and he’s obviously already fed up with his clientele.
Sean Astin is getting a little pudgy. I think they aged him a bit but I almost didn’t recognize him.

In the preview for the season there's a shot of a baseball stadium under construction - I wonder which one it was? Since the show takes place in the 1930's I figure it's a flashback to the original Wrigley Field that was built in the 1920s. No way is Dodger Stadium since that wasn't finished until 1962.

Great second episode. It changed gears a little from the first episode but it was nice to see where the focus of the season was going to be.
Perry is always entertaining when he’s in court.
“Well, can you at least ask him to be realistic? They’re going to blend in in Mexico and THEN go on a killing spree?”

Yeah it's a very good show. The sets are really amazing. Loved that they built a Hooverville in LA. And then they can just throw in a cameo from Sean Aston, Hope Davis and Gretchen Mol without any fanfare. This show has to be so expensive. I hope they don't cancel it -- putting it on Monday nights was a concerning sign to me, like they feel it's a second-rate show to them. Maybe it is compared to Last of Us and Succession, but it's a really good show that I hope they continue to support.

Man, is this show so good. Tonight’s episode has a big twist that really changes everything and sets up a back half that will be very different than any Perry Mason case we’ve seen before. I loved it.

"I'll give you 50 cents to not do that" and then he gives her the 50 cents

Yeah that was great.
And then having the hot teacher come over with a French Dip and booty call? Perry's day is getting better.
