It was ok.

Very well produced and some great acting. But I thought the storyline was a bit undercooked and the dialogue too eye-rolling in its explanation of certain characters' motivations.

Also, if you're going to have a show named after a legendary character that grants the writers some pre-established affection and expectations, then let him exhibit those legendary characteristics. In my mind, Mason didn't exactly pull off amazing cross-examinations or a stirring closing argument at the trial. It just sort of ended with some of the awful characters continuing to be awful.

I guess cynical nihilism is the main requirement for prestige television nowadays. As for me, I wouldn't mind watching some hope and redemption in my entertainment to be honest.
