“If there have been to be a 3rd season, it could be an fascinating second for Perry to mirror on the explosive manner he turned a trial lawyer, how he then handled that and the aftermath, and the sacrifices he needed to undergo, to be able to try this once more.”

The HBO collection imagines a model of Mason who’s not a cultured protection lawyer, however a non-public investigator who takes a circuitous path to the courtroom after his mentor asks for his assist with a disturbing case involving a presumably murdered child. When Mason’s mentor, precise lawyer E.B. Jonathan (John Lithgow) dies by suicide proper earlier than the trial is ready to happen, Mason finally ends up taking on as a substitute, fast-tracking his bar examination so he can set issues proper for the wrongly accused mom on the story’s middle.

As Rhys factors out, Mason hasn’t had a lot time to mirror on his sudden profession change and subsequent rise to fame, however a 3rd season may sort out the fallout of his time within the highlight to this point. “For me, the hope that springs from Mason is that he makes a alternative,” Rhys shares. “He goes, ‘You’ll be able to both stroll away from this or you possibly can attempt to work from inside it, to do what’s proper.'” Whereas we could not know precisely what alternative Mason makes till season two concludes, the present storyline follows a pair of Mexican-American brothers who’re accused of murdering a enterprise tycoon’s obvious screw-up of an grownup son. In his dialog with Collider, Rhys alludes to a second when, “Mason being Mason,” the lawyer decides, “‘I am gonna keep and I am gonna attempt to make issues proper, at no matter price.'”
