Tuned in just for curiosity...this is just a sort of mashup of Chandler, Hammett, etc. And Perry Mason is just any poor detective stuck in a corrupt world, and since it's 2020, a world where people curse a lot.

Despite the kind of by-the-numbers genre tropes, it all depends on execution and the star is good, the atmosphere is set with good looking scenery and nice photography, and while it's a crime story like so many others, I'm OK with another whodunit.

I read that this is a sort of prequel and as the 8 parts continue, this detective Mason will become defense attorney Mason and things will settle into the inevitable trial. I found it went down pretty easy. I think I'm in.
