Well, to be fair, Mason wasn't trying to have a relationship with the TV
series. I don't know why we needed an origin story for him, but I'd imagine
that the name recognition with the current audience is minimal at best, so why

so far, but there is zero relationship between it and the Perry Mason TV
series of old. Also, every ethnic and cultural stereotype seems to be used
I have just caught up on Mason over the last 5 days. There is a lot I like
about it (unlike Dave I really like Rhys, and don’t care about keeping
American actors employed). There is the obvious problem - that there is no
reason to call this Perry Mason. Okay, it’s an origin story, but I would

I must say that, despite my apparently being the only person who doesn't
think Tatiana Maslany is all that or even that good (her vocal technique is
non-existent, among other flaws), this week's episode was the first really
good one. It was coherent, interesting, and had an ending I didn't see
An unscientific survey of people on my Facebook timeline shows they declare
it a hit.
The most common comment is that it compares to "Carnavale." I have not seen
that show so I can't comment.
One Facebook friend said it compares to "The Wire" and "The Sopranos."
Seems unlikely, but it is being

Well, now that the *official* official trailer is out, I can say it somehow
looks even more dismal.
Take away the character's name, and there's nothing in it to separate this
low-rent dick from a couple of dozen other Marlowe wannabes. I'll watch it

Now that I've actually watched the trailer, let me (not surprisingly)
dissent. I'm very disappointed in it, from the casting (are American actors
no longer allowed to play Americans?) to the color scheme (I am so frigging
