First rate production! Spectacular ensemble cast full of excellent performances. The story really pulls you in immediately and a really interesting take on how the main character came to be how most of us (of a certain age, ahem) came to be familiar with Perry. John Lithgow is remarkable. The direction and music/sets and locales are truly atmospheric. Sure hope HBO does another season! VERY noirish. Highly recommend and completely bingeworthy!

FUN TO WATCH IF YOU REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL PERRY MASON TV SERIES. INTERESTING TAKE ON PRE-LAWYER MASON. LOVED THE WAY THEY CLAIMED HE BECAME A LAWYER. THE SETS ARE ENJOYABLE TOO, LIKE A TIME CAPSULE TO A BY GONE ERA. WELL WORTH THE EXPERIENCE - JUST STICK WITH THE PROGRESSION OF EPISODES, OH, AND HAMILTON BURGER IS THERE ALONG WITH DELLA STREET (OH BOY).

What a great series. Can't wait for next season. I grew up on Perry Mason with Raymond Burr, the series and the made for TV movies. I also read quite a few of the books. Mason was not a follow the rules kind of guy, he pushed the limits. This new series is a great back story on how he got started and Matthew Rhys is wonderful.
