In booming 1932 Los Angeles, a down-and-out defense attorney takes on the case of a lifetime.
 
This version of Perry Mason is very dark in comparison to the 1957 television series, but that is a welcome change and it brings new life to a character that is well deserving of a revisit.  The show itself is extremely well crafted together with a compelling story, rich characters and standout performances.
 
FUN FACT:  The series is meant to be more like the early, darker novels of Erle Stanley Gardner written in the 1930s, when the series takes place, where Perry Mason is more hands-on with his investigations.
