Perry Mason crafts a gritty, unrecognizable version of an iconic character
Fans of the most familiar version of Perry Mason—Raymond Burr in the nine-season black-and-white CBS series and in several TV movies afterward—may be taken aback by HBO’s crafting of the world’s greatest defense attorney. Matthew Rhys’ Mason is slight (Burr was tall and foreboding, with shoulders a linebacker would envy), rumpled, and...

I don’t think there’s much of a risk of whiplash from this version of Mason. Most people who would watch probably have a familiarity with the original show in general but doubtful were full-on fans. I’m in my 40s and vaguely remember watching a handful of reruns as a kid, but that’s about it.

i’m a little older and Perry Mason was an absolute fixture of my childhood. It was still on in reruns well into the ‘ 80 s, we used to watch it at noon when I was in HS. Bong hits and Perry Mason, then maybe blow off the afternoon.

It's pretty watchable, as early 60s TV shows go. It's surprising how little Perry has to do some weeks. The guest stars do a lot of the work. And Perry's often kind of an asshole. He's always pointing out everyone's mistakes and how they'd be better off just letting him control every aspect of their lives.

Michaela Coel surpasses expectations in I May Destroy You's devastating pilot
I May Destroy You has already
received praise for being a thorough look at sexual assault . Prior to airing, the show also set out to make its topic explicit with a series of discussions, interviews and panels. As a pilot, “Eyes Eyes Eyes Eyes” plays with these expectations by introducing the subject of sexual assault in a limited...15 Comments

I wish on these recaps, AVClub would put the network or service the show is airing on right in the same box as the grade. I’d like to know if it’s available to me before reading the recap and get excited for the show.

Michaela Coel is SO talented. I'm glad this show is being reviewed because it already feels like something I'm going to want to read more about and discuss after every episode. So thank you!

Jun 08, 2020
Yup. “Surpasses expectations” in the header implies that we didn’t already expect this to be as absolutely amazing as it turned out to be. Michaela Coel is a hell of a talent. I also like that this is such a tonal shift from Chewing Gum , which I adored. The lady has range, to say the least.

She so has the range, acting and writing. I saw Black Earth Rising after already being a fan of Chewing Gum and her performance completely floored me. Now with her w orking with her own material in this I’m prepared to be, yeah, destroyed.

You know a movement has reached a tipping point when it becomes smarter for businesses to embrace it than to ignore it, which is what happened on Saturday when multiple big media companies and streaming platforms tweeted out messages of support for Black Lives Matter. Of course, businesses aren’t people and it would be absurd to think otherwise, so it’s worth remembering that anything and...

NetFlix should do a documentary on law enforcement, it’s history, how the methods have changed over the years, the deep corruption in some districts embedded in close-knit, systemic protectiveness of it’s force and that for every 10 legitimate, good police officers, there’s at least 1 or 2 Biff Tannens in the bunch.
brontosaurian
Jun 01, 2020
But let’s remember those 10 debatably good ones look the other way and allow this to happen all the time. If and when they do I cannot deem them legitimately good. They arrest people breaking the law all the time it's their duty, but not if it's a coworker. Unless there's a video, another video from another angle making it not debatable at all, the videos go viral and the news picks up on it. And then maybe they'll get fired. Few and far between ever get arrested.
KateH
Jun 01, 2020
I’m pretty sure that the ratio is 99 Biff Tannens to 1 ‘good guy’, because police culture is so corrupt. It’s so much ‘us against everyone’, especially ‘us against the brown-skinned’. It’s ingrained. And I say this as someone who has only had positive interactions with the police - but then, I’m very, very white-skinned.

Speaking of which, the comments from all the Karens on those FB posts have been pretty delicious. ‘So u r saying u support those THUGS who r buring down MY city?! Guess I’m not watching anymore!!!!!’
Fuck off, Karens. We don’t need you anymore. Which, of course, is what a lot of this is about. Karens don’t like it when people start to show signs of not being afraid of or having much use for Karens anymore.

Using Lovecraftian ideas to talk about race relations and the plight of minorities is interesting. Someone should figure out a way to attach a motor to old Howard’ s grave because the amount that racist asshole is probably spinning in his grave right now could power the country
I kid, I kid. Lovecraft is extremely problematic but without being a paranoid xenophobic nut ball he couldn’t have wrote about the unforgiving alien universe that doesn’t care about us.

Carrie Coon re-cast as the lead in Julian Fellowes' new HBO show, The Gilded Age
It’s easy to joke about the fact that Carrie Coon has become something akin to the patron saint of prestige TV in recent years. With a run of 2010s television that moves from The Leftovers, to Fargo, to The Sinner, Coon has consistently given some of the small screen’s best performances—to the point where it feels like a too-on-the-nose joke to suggest that, were a network like HBO suddenly...

Yeah I really liked “Downton Abbey” for the character interactions and dialogue but the plot, especially post-war, was almost always “the abbey is going broke unless one of you marries a rich person” or something. Loved the cast though. It seems he has a similarly talented one here, so hopefully “The Gilded Age” has more variety than Downton.

I watched until the infamous Anna Bates rape plot, at which point I was like, “Fuck you, you don’t get to have your cosy, luvvy English period piece where the aristocracy and the servants all get along, and a gritty drama where ugly things like sexual assault are just tossed in.” Like, I’d always been uncomfortable with Fellowes’ seeming take that the aristocracy is a fine institution as long as they’re nice about it (which seems to be the class system version of “a good guy with a gun” to me), but I was able to accept the show as more or less a fluffy fairy tale. But fluffy fairy tales shouldn’t have rape scenes.

the downfall of Chicago mayor Rod Blagojevich
Nope, Illinois Governor. He was the one who wanted to sell Obama’s Senate seat when it was open after he became President saying “This thing is fucking golden!”
Also, I have no desire to ever hear that scumbag open his mouth again. He and Trump are big admirers of each other for obvious reasons and the only reason he is out of jail now is because Trump commuted his sentence in January. Probably because he had been on one of his shows. So what is he doing now? Lying low or acting contrite. of course not. He’s railing against the corrupt judicial system that caught him on tape planning to sell out Democracy for a few bucks or a favor. This could be the greatest thing in the history of media but it’s still a hard pass for me. My blood pressure can’t handle his bullshit.
Richard P
Apr 29, 2020
The problem is that he got a massive sentence for saying “maybe I will sell the seat,“ but the guy who stood there with the money saying “OK, I’ll buy it“ ended up with a pittance of a sentence and he was actually able to choose when he was able to serve it.
Dr Emilio Lizardo
Apr 30, 2020
I guess the difference is Blago was already an elected public official sworn to uphold the trust of the public and the other guy just wanted to be one. I’m sure he had aspirations to be President and probably would have run in 2016 and again in 2020 . That would have been nearly as big a disaster as Trump.
Also, this was far from the only thing he did. It was just the biggest thing they got him on.

Entertaining and well-paced. Did anyone else get Goodfellas vibes from how this was shot and edited? When Alison Janey called Jackkman after her fraud was first discovered, the way his car pulled off the freeway was shot just like the intro when they hear Billy Batts in their trunk. Also the musical Montage seem like it was an homage to Scorsese. And lastly, Jackman’s assistant is played by Ray Liotta’s lucky hat (or whatever) drug mule in Goodfellas.

I always figured that would be the case with AT&T/WB needing more content, rolling out HBO Max, and Nolan/Joy saying they had a 5 or 6 season plan, if I’m remembering correctly. Some had openly wondered if it would survive with a 700k or there about audience watching live on Sundays, but more than likely it’s well over 2 million plus when you include delayed and worldwide viewing .
The budget of the show looks like it costs a pretty penny , but as long as they stick the landing this season, I’m on board for as many more good ones as they can continue to produce.

I genuinely thought this was meant to be the final season. Wasn’t it? Did I just imagine that?

Maybe there’s still hope for Amy Acker to end up on the show.

The Looney Tunes reboot trailer looked more promising than I expected, but I’ve been disappointed before .

The “we can hang up now” call with his sly smile made me howl . And the in-person “I’d like (Condola) to get to know me through me” was heartwarming and kind. I love the energy between Issa and Lawrence. There will always be sweetness there and it doesn’t have to be bitter. It’s mature and generous, not many shows convey exes like that. They aren’t resigned or relegated to friendship by proxy , they share their present with respect to their past . It’s beautiful. And “significant” as Condola rightfully stated . Absolutely, madly in love with this show and rewatching S1-S3 in prep for S4 and the new episodes have made this no good very shitty time happier. Jay Ellis is a joy and pleasure to watch.

As much as I think Ellis is a wonderful actor, I’ve always been a bit frustrated with Lawrence as a character. I know Issa treated him poorly, but I’ve never been very invested in watching him mope around when we could be spending more time with Issa and Molly (or getting in a few more Kelli one-liners). That said, he’s come across as a more interesting character in these first two episodes of season four, so maybe I could come around.
