I love Rhys, so your #1 is not an issue for me, but definitely worry about your #2. What I am digging about the show is it’s idealism and sincerity, which though I am a big fan of Noir, is quite different than that. I especially like a call back to an old fashioned California liberalism that I remember from my mother and grandfather, one in which defense attorneys fighting for the underdog against the not really evil but lazy and bureaucratic state are heroes. I like the True Detective series, but that’s not Mason.
