About this show

The world's most renowned fictional lawyer is back on the case in this exciting HBO series that tells the origin story of master criminal defense attorney Perry Mason. Set in 1932 Los Angeles, this edgy, noirish update puts a new spin on the iconic character created by Erle Stanley Gardner and made famous by the classic TV show that ran from 1957 to 1966. The series begins with Mason (Matthew Rhys) living paycheck to paycheck as a low-rent private investigator who's haunted by his wartime experiences and managing the fallout of a broken marriage. During eight twisty, cliff-hanger episodes, Mason is determined to do what's right—even when it's not necessarily “legal”—as he digs into a controversial and politically loaded case, exposing a fractured city and a possible police coverup. The stellar cast includes John Lithgow, Tatiana Maslany, Juliet Rylance, Chris Chalk and Shea Whigham.

I watched the first episode and was really disappointed. I came for murder, not porn. I'm a fan of the original, and the complete change in Perry's character is disappointing. The only thing that could be a redeeming quality is the possibility of this being an attempt at an origin story. I will watch a bit further to see, but frankly the show is on thin ice for me. Another completely blatant porn scene and I'm out. *Maybe* I'll read the episode synopsis on wikipedia or something.

A breathtaking, greatly atmospheric, remake of an original I have not seen yet. Perry Mason absoulty is a stunner, with great performances from Rhys, Malasany, and everyone else. I can't wait to see it at the awards!!

It starts out good and then turns into a cheesy soap opera.
