HBO Perry Mason...Season 2 started....

https://www.hbo.com/perry-mason


I loved season 1....This is not the familiar Perry Mason from the `1960's TV show....it is realistic and, in an eye, opening setting of Los Angeles in the early 1930's I believe is the time period.

The flow of the show resembles the Russell Crowe film of 1997," L.A. Confidential (film)"...

I posted an HBO link which has clips.

Still in the " warm up phase"....Della Street is so brilliant and dynamic! Really represents a woman in a double standards culture...I find the Paul Drake character also dynamic....Yes...Perry is just not the Perry Mason of the 1960's....he is multi layered and a true liberal...He struggles with old baggage demons I guess...

I heard that Kathy Bates was going to be in Season 2...????

I like it. Haven’t finished season 1 but I’m pretty sure where’s it going after I saw the “Blind Adoption” photo in the church.

Then jump into Season 2....I so appreciate a TV series with multilayers and suspense...The period characterization is just spot on in my opinion.

I'll wait to subscribe to HBO until all episodes are streaming -- better continuity that way.

Unlike some that could not appreciate the new one because it wasn't the original.
