Doubtful I can watch it. I will miss Raymond Burr too much.

This guy is really good. If I had HBO, I'd really be looking forward to this.

Vince Vaughn could pull it off, but I think Joe Pesci should play Paterno.

I saw the trailer release on HBO this past weekend. He (Rhys) won't be playing the same role as an attorney (Burr.) It looks like more of a Columbo type of character mash-up without the courtroom/lawyer arc.

Just read that they are going back story with it, in the 1930's. Mason is a PI in this. Della is reportedly a lesbian. Paul Drake is a black cop facing racism in the force. I think I will watch reruns instead.

Well worth the watch through E2. Well written.

I dropped my HBO Max because they never got the app on Roku for me. I refuse to do that casting crap or pay for a service I can only get part of.

Learn how to hack.

I wouldn't pay for one series...or two, for that matter. But, I don't ...

I have had a VPN for many years that gets used when I need it. I also have a Manjaro server running Plex and Calibre so the family can access me ill gotten booty. I do prefer to pay for things I want, but sometimes they make it too difficult to do so. I also refuse to pay for an electronic copy of something I own physically.

Moving to Linux?

Moving to Linux?

Maybe on my laptop but not on my desktop. I hate dual booting and a lot of the stuff on my desktop doesn't work for crap on Linux.

I just noticed Season 2 has started up ... may have to watch season one again for the hell of it.

 

[TerryP]

I'm almost finished watching S1 again and I have to say this ...

I love the way they use the dark noir in this series.

Finally watched some and I gotta admit the show is good. I still have a hard time with it being Perry Mason just due to so many years of the Raymond Burr version burned into my head. I think I would love it more with a different name but it is definitely good.

"Della Street nude, in Season Two." ~ a sexist would say.

Watching season 2 right now and just got to that.

They're spending more time on character stories than the plot of this season: a little too much for my taste. I'd like a little more of the mystery.

I gotta assume they are going to tie it all together at some point soon but right now it almost feels like they have to make 8 episodes and only have 4-5 episodes of material for the case.
