[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Succession, Season 4 Episode 5, “Kill List.”] What could be lovelier than a trip to Norway, to discuss a bold new era of business while looking out on beautiful forests and expansive mountain ridges?

Matthew Rhys on How Perry Mason Season 2 Reflects Today

One of the most striking things about HBO’s new interpretation of Perry Mason is how different its approach is from the original Raymond Burr series.

Art, in its many forms, serves as both a mirror and a mold of human existence. From the earliest cave paintings to contemporary digital media, art has continually evolved, adapting to shifts in culture, technology, and societal norms.
