Perry Mason Season 2 Ending Explained | Episode 8 Recap

- The frigid opening of this week's Perry Mason, which has little to do with anything in the big scheme of things but conjures up such a terrifying (and simultaneously hysterical) picture that I was truly surprised by, would be negligent of me if I didn't mention it.

Totally disagree. I enjoyed the ending because it felt like real life. Nobody got the slam dunk. Everyone had to live with their own small victories and swallow the defeats that came along with it.
Nobody is safe. The danger is still there. Dells and Ham could still be exposed. They’re only safe for now not forever. Perry had to settle for 30 years with no parole instead of 15 or 20 which would’ve been more appropriate a punishment.
I think next season will deal with the growing threat of the Empire of Japan and the repercussions Japan’s Imperial expansion will have on the persecution of Japanese Americans.
I believe the focus of season 3 will have Perry and Della championing the cause of Japanese Americans enduring the hatred and misguided anger of the rest of the country.
I get that. I’m not saying it ended badly or that it wasn’t well written, but it is a TV show and it’s entertaining to get , in a courtroom drama, at least a moving courtroom scene in the last episode. I respect them eschewing convention , but all the same it felt , as I stated, anticlimactic
@@jasonlloyd33 well said. I see your point. A big send off would’ve been fun as well.
Let’s hope we get a good finale with Barry.
Just finished season 2 and I can’t agree more. I love how the series shed light on the Mexican American plight in pre WWII Los Angeles through the Gallardo brothers. Reminds me too much of the Zoot Suit Riots and the beginning scene of American Me.
Especially with the recent success of the Netflix show “Beef,” I’d love to see Steve Yuen play the part of a Japanese American in season 3 Perry mason!
@@saber26ful Beef was so disturbing. Rocked me to the core. Flashbacks to my own insecurities in my 20’s.
Love a great dialogue with loved me minded people.
Don’t feel so alone.
Here is a review I wrote on my blog of season 2 back in April:
Perry Mason Season Two a Big Disappointment (spoilers)
I liked the first season of the re-imagined Perry Mason. The changes to the characters didn't bother me all that much. I wasn't a crazed fanatic of the original series anyway. In the first season, Mason defends a woman wrongfully accused of killing her baby. The season ends with a mistrial being declared, so Mason sort of wins, but not really. Again, this didn't bother me, because, in this new version of the classic character, he has just become a lawyer and is only beginning to find his way around the courtroom. I expected season two to show a much more confident Perry Mason, something closer to the original TV character: a hero. But no; he's still this stuttering, bumbling clown whose "assistant," Della Street, is the real brains in the practice. I know you'll forgive me for giving away the ending of season two, since anyone reading this is probably somebody I know personally, but, it turns out, that the two Mexican brothers accused of the murder actually did it! Mason is defending guilty people! And the "victory" is that only one of them is sentenced to prison; the other goes free. 30 years in prison; so much better than the hangman's noose.
Now, you can make Della Street a lesbian; you can make Paul Drake black; you can make Hamilton Burger gay; and you can even make Perry Mason a stammering loser who has none of the smooth, dapper confidence of Raymond Burr's portrayal, but the one thing you cannot do is change the FUNDAMENTAL BASIS of the character: Perry Mason is about a lawyer who defends people wrongfully accused of murder and who finds a way to exonerate them!!! That's it. That's the WHOLE POINT of Perry Mason as a concept. This new show is more of a soap opera with an extended cast of about two dozen people, none of whom, quite honestly, is as interesting as seeing a slick, heroic lawyer triumph over a legal system quick to condemn an innocent person of murder.
Good points: Beautiful period (1930's) sets and costumes and cars. Also, nice to see Wallace Langham in action again. One more thing: I can't tell if Matthew Rhys looks and acts more like Bill Murray or Gene Hackman. What do you think, people I know personally?
Love the show but felt a little anticlimactic.
same here... from a few episodes in.. I thought the brothers were paid to take the son out ??
The whole season 2 was boring
