Perry Mason on HBO. I just rewatched season 1 from 2021, new season out in Spring 2023.

thanks but did not like it, it was very easy to predict and it was more about the drama then the actual mystery. it falls into the same category as the series i mentioned. like undoing, little big lies etc.

Big fan of Rhys, best show in the past 20 years is the Americans, IMO. PM is “murder (or mystery) by numbers” and there is some campiness to it, especially on 2nd watch, that I had to look past to enjoy but I think that has a lot to do with trying to pay homage to the original series. Not the best show out there but it has great acting, and a compelling story while adhering to noir and the aesthetics. I definitely look forward to S2.

I agree on Treason. I binged it this week and it became background noise while working. Incredibly poor writing and plot.

A fun mystery series is the recent and little fan-fared The Resort. The wife from Treason is the main character, and she’s hilarious, IMO. All the characters are interesting, it’s a good ride, it’s funny, and I’ll admit, the ending was touching.
