  The Pre-quel idea works for me.
  Some actual 30's Music in this one, and I liked the Modern Jazz Soundtrack, but still no real Theme.
  The Jazz makes it oddly Contemporary.

• So far, generic noir...but that's OK with me... - tunenut 16:14:49 06/26/20 (1)

  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.

    I thought he looked too much like Indiana Jones.
    I don't think I Ever saw Stubble in a 30's movie.
    But I'm in...

  I'm looking forward to where it ends up at the end of the season, as I think it turns more mainstream after that.

  It's certainly odd. I like the look and the tone but it may not wear well over time. Confused with the ESG characters in this setting.
