I only know about Perry Mason from the Ozzy song but this looks pretty promising, will definitely check it out.

Well the is indeed pretty loving good. Basically watched an episode per day starting Monday and can't wait for the next one.

Wait, so they killed off lithgow's character?

Did he actually turn on the oven?

E.B.'s disintegration from the confident, snappy, apparently successful figure we met in Ep 1 to the abject mess we saw in this last one has been really well done.

Felt a bit too quick, though, he was already a mess in the last episode.

The method he was using isn't really possible anymore (probably one reason they're able to get away with showing it the way they did), but those old stoves/ovens pumped carbon monoxide straight into the room, so ignition wasn't necessary.

Huh, that's convenient, they really thought abut everything. I feel like I've read about this before but didn't remember it while watching, thanks for the article.

Holy poo poo completely forgot about this show. Which isn't really that surprising considering season 1 was 3 years ago. Looks like the reviews for the season are generally positive though so I'll definitely give it a shot once I finish my current show.

Great season, great show. I remember almost nothing about what actually happened in S1 but I'm very happy a noir detective show is still a thing. Hopefully Rhys stays onboard, assuming HBO doesn't just cancel the show of course.

But with the same reception that Mac got in IASIP.

Mason: I got into incredible shape

Della: But why?

Mason : flexes

The same way Fat Mason would work well too imo
