It is a matter of justice. That’s what season 2 of ‘Perry Mason’ seems to have been about, to a large extent, whose last episode we can see since this past dawn on HBO Max. An eighth episode that has surprised us with a fine twistHe in which the verdict was handed down in the case of the Gallardo brothers.
By the way, from here, spoilers for the end of season 2 of ‘Perry Mason’.
life and jail
In this way, the last minutes of the episode show us how the inexperienced lawyer played by Matthew Rhys goes to prison after the murder weapon was discovered in his safe.
A twist that, in the words of michael begler, the showrunner of the series, reinforces the theme of justice (and the illusion of it) that is exposed during the season. Speaking for TVLine Explain what led you to ask that ending:
“Earlier, Lydell tells Perry, ‘Even if you win, you lose.’ And I think we liked to turn it around at the end of the season, saying: even though Perry loses one way, he wins. Winning means that he now understands what it means to fight and what it entails, and that impostor syndrome that exists at the beginning [de la temporada] it’s almost all gone at the end and he can hold his head up. You can post that photo of him and his son. It’s almost a way of saying: this is who I need to teach what real justice is, what real morality is. I think he believes it in his heart and I think that’s what we were really drawn to. When we start the season, he is a green lawyer. He’s still really a rookie, so we couldn’t go full throttle to get him the Perry Mason that everyone is waiting for so I think it’s taken him all season to get there, which is important.”
Let’s remember that in the middle of the season we discovered that the Gallardo brothers were indeed the culprits. Moment in which things get complicated for the lawyer, who from then on tries to find out who ordered the hit. An attempt to sneak between the powers of the system that comes out regularly.
This event leaves a note of unknown face to a hypothetical season 3 Although it has not been officially confirmed by HBO, both the creatives and the producers of ‘Perry Mason’ are quite optimistic. In the words of Susan Downey, producer:
“We would be lying if we did not say that we have spoken with Michael [Begler] a lot about the third season, but our fate rests in the hands of others.”
