tarlibone posted:I haven't seen reruns of the old TV show since I was a kid, but I get the feeling that people who love the show probably know who Lemon Tea Esq. is? Seems like a really obvious reference to something I just don't get. When Mr. Lemon Tea's name was finally said, I went 'Oh, okay'. In the old show Hamilton Burger was a DA so him being an ADA here does tie him in.

NowonSA posted:Fun to think that the D.A. on the original show knew about Mason's shady origins and helped him cheat to pass the bar, and then just kind of went with it while Mason presumably kept going head to head with him in court. Maybe they reach a kind of truce on that after Mason helps sink the current D.A. What I vaguely remember of the original show when my mom watched reruns of it, is when Burger was going against Mason in court, he was more concerned with justice being served than just winning the case. quote:Once Mason had exposed the true perpetrator, Burger often joined in Mason's motion to the judge to dismiss the charges against Mason's client so that Burger could then charge the actual wrongdoer. I think Burger's more than happy to help Mason pass the bar, because when poo poo goes down, he'll be able to prosecute a shitload of people. I agree that things are looking a little grim for Pete, but I hope not, he's a fun character. I was pretty meh on this the first couple episodes, but I'm glad I stayed with it, because I am seriously a bit at the edge of my seat with seeing how everything is going to play out (I think my biggest question still is what part Sister Alice is going to end up playing by the end of everything. I gotta say, episode 3, when Drake approached Mason outside the bar and gave him the broken dentures he found, that was really the point where my opinion changed from 'well, it's something to watch' to 'Oh, let's fuckin' go!'

NowonSA posted:Yeah poking around more I have no idea how it could be that much based on other figures I've seen since I saw that 8 million figure, I think I saw it on an article that was announcing the second season pickup. Maybe this article? https://www.townandcountrymag.com/l...01iY1VyQUV6Rno. quote:Perry Mason, starring Matthew Rhys, has been renewed for a second season on HBO. The network announced that the show has put up strong numbers, with the premiere episode watched by 8 million people to date.

I think about the only hope Pete might have is that Drake is back in play and knows about both Ennis and Holcomb. I would like if S2 has them as investigation bros. But yeah, I too fell for Holcomb's half second of seeming morality when he started yelling at Ennis. Stephen Root is doing an incredible job in his role, because I absolutely can't wait for Mason to connect the dots and destroy his argument. What an absolute piece of poo poo the DA is.

I'm a little rusty on Pete's reason for leaving Perry to work for the DA. I know they talked about it in the S1 finale, and I think it was that he didn't want to keep doing underhand stuff, like Perry getting him to pay off a juror. I'm hoping there's some kind of twist to the gun thing, like he realized he's getting asked to do stuff like that no matter who he works for and doesn't go through with it. I'm absolutely stymied with who they'll loo into next/what the twist is going to be and how this'll wrap up with only two episodes left. I feel like Grice (Sean Astin) is going to factor back into it, and there's something with Nygaard, but yeah, I got nothin'. At least I'll be surprised!

Goddamn it. This was my favorite show in years. At least we got two seasons, I suppose. Perry's never getting out of jail now
