I know I've said this before...but I'm the girl who read every Nancy Drew book numerous times....the new Perry Mason with Matthew Rhys (one of my favorite actors) is soooooo good.
Just finished Season 2. From what I've read...it's not been renewed or cancelled on the new MAX...
oh, PLEASE...we NEED a Season 3!!!!!
Just musing on the cavalcade of themes in this season of #PerryMason. In addition to the moody #noir pastiche aesthetic, we have a delightfully messy #lesbian romance, a pre-Zoot Suit uprising storyline about corrupt legal scapegoating of #MexicanAmericans, a complex plot about #BlackLA and its social dynamics of #class and #gender, and the #JohnGarfield-esque simmering righteous White guy and his rebellion against social pressure to be aspirational and upwardly mobile. Oh and at the heart of the crime might be #oil. Somebody should unpack all this and write about it....

Is it just me, or is #MatthewRhys giving strong #JohnGarfield vibes in #PerryMason? In a good way!

Getting close to finishing Season 1 of the new #Perry Mason on #HBOmax. #MatthewRhys is such a good actor. First saw him in The Americans and loved his performance there. (It still remains one of my favorite series) He was great, recently, in Burnt and I think he's a joy in this role, too. So talented.
