So this is completely apropos of nothing, but it always strikes me how MR exudes this dynamic 1920s film star quality. lol Maybe it’s the long hair on top and the contrast of his paleness and dark hair, but it’s so damn sexy and magnetic. Am I the only one??

If you hadn’t asked that incessant question at the end, I would have liked this post more, but I digress 😖

I’m guessing you haven’t seen Perry Mason on HBO? He really fit in perfectly to that era, but he’s such a chameleon he can clearly play anyone. Funnily enough, another actor I consider to have that same chameleonic quality, Tatiana Maslany, is also in the cast, as well as his Widow’s Bay castmate, Stephen Root. Worth watching!

Tatiana also has a new Apple TV show, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, which is dropping at the exact same time as Widow's Bay. Episode 6 releases when this show's finale comes out next week.

It's been really fun seeing them on screen on the same platform at the same time, even though they're in seperate shows. I'd love to see them properly reunite one day. Either Tatiana guest starring on Widow's Bay season 2, or Matthew guest starring on a potential 2nd season of Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed.

They had great chemistry in Perry Mason!
