Grief weighs heavily on ‘Your Honor ’ in Season 2 of Showtime legal thriller

The image of a bearded, unkempt Bryan Cranston tells you a great deal about what’s ahead for “Your Honor” in the second and final season of the Showtime legal thriller.

Indeed, as the new round gets underway Friday, Jan. 13, on Showtime’s online and On Demand platforms (and Sunday, Jan. 15, on cable), Cranston’s character of New Orleans Judge Michael Desiato is in a state of grief so profound following the accidental shooting of son Adam (Hunter Doohan) in the closing moments of Season 1 that he’s really stopped caring about much of anything. Which prompted the show’s star and executive producer to consider how that might look on screen – and on himself

“It’s really allowed me to reflect on my own personal life,” the actor explains, “and the part of the process of dealing with tragedy or disappointment or grief is to allow yourself to feel it, to truly be in it and not try to

hastily get out of that but put your arms around grief and almost welcome it as a way of process to then work through it. I think, the more we try to resist it, the longer it takes to process it, and it may then linger It also may create and exacerbate other situations in your life. So, I think ... it’s allowing me to mature in understanding all of life and its ups and downs.”

Beyond Michael’s grief, Desire Gang leader Big Mo (Andrene Ward-Hammond) will be making waves this season as she pushes to expand her empire throughout the city with the help of Little Mo (Machekanyanga); Fia Baxter (Lilli Kay) is forced to reckon with her family’s true nature in the wake of her boyfriend’s shooting while her brother Carlo (Jimi Stanton) is determined to follow in his father Jimmy’s (Michael Stuhlbarg) criminal footsteps; and Eugene’s (Benjamin Flores Jr.) attempt to avenge his brother’s death threatens to turn New Orleans into a tinder box ready to explode into all-out war rez joins the cast as Olivia Delmont, U.S. Attorney who must manipulate an to bring down a crime organization. eturning this season include Isiah Charlie Figaro, a local politician best friend; Hope Davis as Jimmy’s Gina; and Margo Martindale as Sen. uthrie, the mother of Jimmy’s late wife. hopefully really interesting or one of the aspects, is that it’s a from Season 1, but it’s not a reset and a Joey Hartstone, who replaces creator showrunner this season. “So, expect to that you know, but because they all trauma in Season 1, it’s impacted who often changed who they are and how are somewhat different from who

BEST ELVIS PRESLEY MOVIES

“Love Me Tender” (1956) Presley’s first movie role turned an average Civil War stor y into an event – and also got the picture’s title altered, thanks to one of the tunes he crooned.

“Loving You” (1957) Mirroring Presley’s own rise to stardom, this rags-to-riches drama boasts one of his most sensitive performances, before he entered the phase of having his songs hung on threadbare plots.

“Jailhouse Rock” (1957) The famous scene with Presley singing, and gyrating to, the title tune says it all about this classic.

“Flaming Star” (1960) Guided by director Don Siegel, who later turned Clint Eastwood into

Dirty Harr y, Presley puts real effort into playing a man of two cultures that clash, putting him in a bind.

“Wild in the Country” (1961) Presley and playwright Clifford Odets weren’t a typical combination, but credit was due the still-early movie star for being ambitious enough to tackle sophisticated material that would challenge even the most experienced actor

“Blue Hawaii” (1961) You couldn’t hope for the islands to look lovelier than in this combination of Elvis showcase and travelogue, also intriguing for Presley raising his acting game

opposite a veteran talent by the name of Angela Lansbur y.

“Kid Galahad” (1962) Presley is sincere as a boxer who succeeds in the ring, though he desires a quieter life.

“Fun in Acapulco” (1963) Presley in his prime; Ursula Andress, fresh off being the first “Bond girl”; Mexican locations. What’s not to like?

“Viva Las Vegas” (1964) Presley’s ultimate star vehicle gave him an ideal partner in Ann-Margret and pretty much set the blueprint (he races cars!) for numerous other Elvis movies.

“Jailhouse Rock”
