Wathced the finale of Perry Mason and I really don't know why "they" had to use this title

[question everything]

Entirely different attitude. Sure, same characters why couldn't they have generated different names?

1. What title? Unless we'd also seen the show we can't know what this is about.

2. Perry Mason. This is the title, like the one from the 60s

4. My understanding is this current darker version is more true to the books.

I've not read them, so I can't say for sure. But, I like the show.

5. I have read the books, don't remember them being dark,

Lots of technical discussions about forensics and photography and fishing

6. I've read a huge anthology of the Perry Mason stories and I saw nothing dark like the new series.

8. As do I. The old series, not so much.

That series predates me by a few years, but I know many here are/were fans. I tried watching it once. I recorded episodes from MeTV which airs it a couple of times per day. From the episodes I saw, the plot always seemed to hinge on some hysterical female losing her shit on the stand while Perry berated her. The new series is light years beyond that nonsense. In it, Della is every bit the equal of Perry, shining in court or thinking quickly on her feet, and he (grudgingly) acknowledges that. This second season started off a bit shaky, and I worried it would not live up to the first season, but it came through.

7. OK, now I'm starting to get an inkling of what this post is about.
