The Real Los Angeles History Behind Perry Mason Season Two (Vulture)

HBO's 'Perry Mason,' starring Matthew Rhys, is back for season two. Once again the 1930s-set legal drama is heavily inspired by real Los Angeles history, ...

[Adamson House](https://www.adamsonhouse.org/) in Malibu, a national historic site that was a private residence built 1929 for Rhoda Rindge Adamson, the daughter Frederick Hastings Rindge, the last owner of Malibu, and her husband, Merritt). The second season of Perry Mason opens with a fire on a gambling ship, an arson attack that we soon learn is tied to Brooks and his connection in the LAPD, the shady detective Gene Holcomb (Eric Lange). She has a Pilates machine, swims regularly, and is a major donor to the arts. “She was very glamorous and a little avant-garde for the time,” Begler says. After they were (barely) bought out and then forced out, the area was razed — first in the name of urban renewal and public housing and then, after years in limbo, for a fancy dome-shaped stadium. Zammora became the [largest mass trial in California history](https://www.kcet.org/shows/lost-la/sleepy-lagoon-and-zoot-suit-riots), resulting in 17 convictions ranging from assault to murder in the first degree ( [12 convictions were later overturned](https://oac.cdlib.org/view?docId=hb8t1nb96z&brand=oac4&doc.view=entire_text)). He bragged to his dad about all the advertising he’d lined up, and his last order of business was a failed attempt at sweet-talking a noted ballplayer into spreading the word. “This was a beloved young man and the prince of the city, and how did that affect people? Intriguingly, as Begler notes, Dohney’s extremely powerful and corrupt dad brought in his own security force to “take over” the investigation — which may have had something to do with the case’s lack of resolution. The town will be buzzing when they learn his body was found in his yellow convertible with a bullet hole in his head, as happens at the end of the episode.

The Perry Mason Season 2 Premiere Just Severed Its Last Tie To ... (/FILM)

HBO's "Perry Mason" is several shows in one: a courtroom drama, a hard-boiled noir, and a thoughtful exploration of empathy and justice. In its second season, ...

Emily Dodson was the last loose end, but if we hear from her again, we now know that it'll be in the form of an unheard plea from beyond the grave. Audiences knew Emily's mental health deteriorated, but the show's first season ended with a note of tentative, if somewhat disturbing, hope for the woman. But a horror-tinged scene in the second season premiere reveals that Emily's story didn't end there. It turned out her baby, Charlie, died when a sex worker breastfed him while under the influence of heroin, a horrible accident that was made even worse by the circumstances of his kidnapping and recovery. In the season one finale, Emily joins a traveling church, and in a weird turn of events, starts to raise a baby that she believes is her own son resurrected. Those first eight chapters told a harrowing, graphic story about a dead, mutilated baby and a mother (Gayle Rankin) who ends up on trial for his kidnapping and murder.

'Perry Mason' shows some improvement in season 2 (The Boston Globe)

It's an easier viewing experience, still slow and shadowy but nonetheless more straightforward. And our leads — Perry (Matthew Rhys), Della Street (Juliet ...

Meanwhile, to break up the case work, the writers follow Perry and Della into new romantic relationships, and they bring us into Paul’s marriage, all of which adds some warmth to the whole endeavor, if not the tension and intensity it truly needs. Perry is certain that the brothers didn’t commit the crime, and that they are the victims of racism, particularly as the prosecutor leans heavily on racist dog whistles in the courtroom. I also suffered from some distracting cynicism throughout over the use of the title “Perry Mason” for a series that barely resembles the original books and the Raymond Burr series.

Perry Mason Season 2 Episode 1 Recap - Who died in "Chapter ... (Ready Steady Cut)

HBO might have changed a lot about the iconic Erle Stanley Gardner criminal defense lawyer; he's now a traumatized war veteran with a fondness for the ...

Only, Perry Mason Season 2 Episode 1 ends on a close-up of Brooks having been shot straight through the eye, his corpse abandoned in his flash car. Compared to that, a bullet in the eye of a tycoon’s son is simple. It says a lot about our current understanding of and relationship with the justice system that the only way to make a compelling lawyer protagonist in a TV show is to have him reject that system entirely. Since the HBO version of Mason has an overarching season-long plot instead of a procedural case-of-the-week format like its beloved CBS forebear, the audience naturally assumes that Brooks will be the bad guy here. This was intended as a bit of business-savvy sabotage but ends up sinking the entire vessel in broad daylight in front of countless witnesses, which is shorthand for Brooks’s general uselessness. Unfortunately for him, keeping on the lights in law offices means a fair amount of ethical compromise.

Holcomb had invested in the business with Brooks, and he wanted to make sure that the business was in no way harmed. Pete offered him a job; he had to keep a close watch on Melvin Perkins since the DA’s office had knowledge that “someone” wanted to take him out. It was the 30s, and Los Angeles was still a developing city. He believed that it was only fair that the city they lived in was represented in the major league, and he wanted to gift the common people of the city a team they could root for as well. Brooks was proud of proving to his father that he had indeed stuck to his plan and made it a reality. He truly believed that he would be able to bring companies to advertise at the stadium he had built, but Lydall assumed that it was another half-baked fantasy of Brooks. But Brooks was confident; he believed that the Luxe fire could not harm them. Purtell, and even though he was just doing his job, he was bothered that it conflicted with his ideals. He was instructed to take care of the Luxe, but instead of dealing with them quietly, he blasted the entire ship in the middle of the night, garnering attention. He was an investigator before becoming an attorney, and he missed that element of thrill in his professional life. Mason and Street managed to pay off E.B.’s debt, and they were in a position to hire a secretary. Della Street made an arrangement with Mason in the last season; she wanted to work as a lawyer after earning her degree, and she stuck to her words.
