She’s not the main character, just the detective amongst an ensemble cast. She has her own episode of focus, much like everyone else, but most of the series would be centred around other characters — I would call the series well-worth watching.

The season wrapped filming the day before the news about the lawsuit against her was reported.

His wife died, yes (that was the reason).

It was interesting how they would consistently upend the premise of the series with everyone except the protagonist experiencing lasting consequences for their actions.

The same actor does star in a Western television series — [Deadwood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadwood_(TV_series)) — perhaps you were thinking of that?

If it helps you to know, a new Justified series is coming out this year, with Olyphant returning (although with an all-new supporting cast)?

Two episodes — they did another one.

Pebbles: “They’re called ‘shoes’.”

Yes. An surprisingly ridiculous amount.

Didn’t the new series (and pilot film) ignore (retcon) that season?

I’ve only seen him in Men in Black II and Reboot, and from what I saw of him in the latter I’d say he’s a good actor — it’s a shame he hasn’t been in more things, acting-wise.

I mean it seems that the last installment in the franchise before the 2020 television series was a 1995 television film. So the series was dormant (with no new media) for a full 25 years. So if one was under 25 (or even 30, assuming they were not watching Perry Mason at 5), or simply was not American (given that Perry Mason is an American property), it would not be unbelievable for one to not know what Perry Mason was going into this television series.

If it helps, off the top of my head the only Rihanna song I can think of is “Shut Up and Drive”.

From my first comment in this thread:

> I didn’t know it was a reboot of a lawyer series going into the first season, so it was odd when what seemed to be a detective series pivoted to being a lawyer series halfway through.

If one went into the first season not already knowing who Perry Mason was, which was a decent number of people, the pivoting was quite odd. If this season has the lawyering and detective aspects more intertwined, that would be interesting, fitting.

I mean I didn’t mind the court scenes — it just seemed a shame that the detective portion pretty much came to an end then. That if they wanted to do a detective series, and a lawyer series, that it may have been better if they were separate series entirely, if they’re not going to be intertwined storyline-wise (rather than simply progressing one after the other).

I get that, but viewing this series on its own, it did seem to come out of nowhere, in terms of changing the direction of what the series was up until that point. Emphasis on viewing the series on its own, up to the fifth episode.

Yes.

We would study that in secondary school, and I always thought it had the makings of what one would dub an Oscar-level film — one could really ‘see’ it years ahead of this film adaptation.

It was pitched as a two-season limited series (after deeming five seasons would take too long and cost too much).

It was announced relatively quietly, and released similarly as such, all on the one day (the 23rd of July, 2022). There is also an anime series in development (following the previous five short films), currently set to come out this year (2023).

I’d say so, technically — it’s a very different tone from the main series, and one would wish the episodes were a bit longer than they are, but I would still recommend it to watch.

It is surprisingly melancholic (in the sense of feeling sorry for the characters, which is the intent).
