Chapter 3 was really, really good TV. With 5 more chapters to go, not sure how they top that.
I have been enjoying it. Rhys is damn good in this role. He plays the moody, emo Mason really well.

The entire cast and how well they perform in their roles is just stunning, especially Chapter 3. The weak spot, I thought, was Sister Alice. And, with how she ended Chapter 3, that role will define how the rest of the series is judged.

I wonder if we are going to see EB continue to lose his mind and that's where Perry steps up to save the day.

having never watched any of the original Perry Mason, I could really care less how Rhys is compared to the older versions.

I think he is doing a really great job with the role. He was great in The Americans.

the show is a lot more gruesome than I expected, but I am into it.

I like it too.

And I saw all the originals.

I want to like it, I really do. Great cast, great style to it. But I just do not think its very good. Yet at least.

I don't think its bad, and I will finish...

I haven't been able to get into it either. But I'll give episode 3 a shot, as it's getting high praise here.

I thought this week's episode was a big turning point in the show...lots going on with EB and the case.

I thought the most recent episode was the best yet, and I have a feeling the rest will be very good.

I know what my issue is. I like Perry and his researcher. I like the law firm people OK. Stephen Root is great as always. The case is fine. For me the show grinds to a halt whenever the story focuses on the church.

I haven’t watched the most recent ep yet, but I question Maslany’s decision to take this role. The makeup/wardrobe is NOT flattering and the character is just kinda out of left field. I think she is an amazing actress, but she seems to have trouble getting good jobs.

I haven't seen a thread on this but I think its actually really good as long as you aren't expecting anything resembling the previous iterations of the IP.

Its difficult to talk about with spoilers but its definitely binge watch material imo.

:L Forgot to use the search function. I swear I check these boards often enough to see if people talk about something but I definitely missed this one.


Anyways, I love a show where the character arcs build and intersect in interesting ways and this is one of them. Episode 4 and 6 are good and 7 is excellent.

If Perry doesn't go to either lunch or dinner with Paul and Della at the end of every episode than it ain't really Perry Mason!
