HBO's 'Perry Mason' reboot robbed its main character of his signature move. Alan Sepinwall on the failures of the Season One finale
When the actual trial resumes, Mason instead puts Emily on the stand in an attempt to showcase her as a loving, devastated parent rather than the monster that D.A. Maynard Barnes has made her out to be. She’s convincing, but Barnes is again ruthless when it’s his turn, reminding the jurors of the time she left Charlie in an adjacent hotel room while having an affair, and getting Emily to acknowledge the direct line between the affair and the kidnapping.
Very little of what happens in the final hour is dramatically satisfying, including the idea that justice for Ennis is instead administered by his partner Holcomb , who sets Ennis up to be murdered in the desert. Mason is far removed from that, and from so much of what happens, a too-often passive and muted participant in his own story.
