Can’t wait for the quality Discovery show that will replace it.

Damnit. I really liked the second season. Was hoping they would get another since Robert Downey Jr and his wife were producing and they would want to stay in business with them.

Couldn't get into to it and it looked expensive to make.

But, But, But, it ticked all the boxes.

Paul Drake a black man, Della Street a white woman lesbian, Hamilton Burger a metrosexual/homosexual trying his best to stay in the closet. Of course also Perry Mason, a white 40 something motorcycle riding, part time renegade who will bend the law to get what he wants attorney.

Season 2 was not good. It’s incredible how they decided to give Mason, the main character, the worst ending. They also had several episodes where he didn’t make a first appearance until they were 10 minutes into the episode. It was like they were purposely trying to not include him in the story or main plot line.

Della was the real brains behind the operation. Perry was a central character but he didn’t really drive the story like the TV show

Loved the first season but had a hard time getting into season 2. Started really slow, kept waiting for something to happen and finally gave up.

I didn’t know about it

Might be due to the lack of oppressed peoples involved?

When I saw the ratings for the second season, I knew it wasn't coming back.

That's unfortunate. Was a solid show.
