Perry Mason – “Chapter Seven” (A)
The best episode yet with a thrilling climax. Mason’s quick transformation from hacking neophyte to experienced attorney is a little shocking, but his scene with Pete proves it’s not just a put-on.
BINGEING
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark (B+ average)
Though its attempts to weave in the life story of the book’s author don’t always work, this is a strong true crime doc series that emphasizes what the book didn’t quite: This monster could have been caught sooner if police departments had worked together instead of posturing and blaming other PDs.
