1933 LA. Haunted by the suicide of the woman from the previous case, Mason reluctantly takes on the defence of two Hispanics charged with the murder of a wealthy charity worker, who has a distinctly shady past. It turns out there's corruption from on high. Complex story, very well worked out, perhaps easier to follow than the first one. We very much enjoyed it.
It's beautifully designed (Keith Cunningham) and shot (Eliot Rockett, Darran Tiernan and John Grillo).
Matthew Rhys, Juliet Rylance, Chris Chalk, Justin Kirk (DA), Diarra Kilpatrick (Chalk's wife), Eric Lange (corrupt cop), Katherine Waterston (teacher), Hope Davis, Jen Tullock (screenwriter), We thought Mark O'Brien as the prosecuting barrister is one to watch.
Eight part HBO production.
