HBO’s new Perry Mason series is set to premiere this weekend, marking a hero’s return to television. This new Perry Mason stars actor Matthew Rhys and imagines the titular character in a time before he was revered as one of the best defense attorneys in Los Angeles. HBO’s Perry Mason is a gritty reinterpretation of one of the most beloved crime dramas from the Golden Age of Television.
While the original Perry Mason followed a tried and true procedural format, the new HBO series is veering in a different direction. This Perry Mason is a down-on-his-luck private eye whose work causes him to question the ethics of the very institutions trusted to maintain law and order in Depression-era California.
