The eight-episode mystery centers on a more novice iteration of Mason , who is working as a private investigator, and not yet as the defense attorney from the beloved 1950s series. “I think the fact that there’s a responsibility [to remind viewers that] this was done long before we knew these kinds of elements of change were coming at this present time.
