But goodness gracious was this show SLOW. While I appreciated the noir feel in theory, in practice it made me rather sleepy.June 18, 2020
Matthew Rhys plays both extremes of his Perry Mason perfectly - the brooding, nonconformist of so many film noirs, as well as the emotional orator of those stirring summations to the jury.June 18, 2020
From the pilot to the final episode, "Perry Mason" knows itself: This Perry Mason is a rebel, and he's bringing everyone along for the ride.June 18, 2020
I don't think you'll be bored or outraged watching "Perry Mason." The cast is filled with big, broad scene-stealers, with Lithgow's moving turn at the top of that list... Just don't get too caught up in trying to tie all those moments together.June 19, 2020
A gorgeous show in terms of production design and the cast is strong from top to bottom, but writers Rolin Jones & Ron Fitzgerald struggle to find a story worth investing in for at least the first half of the eight-episode season.August 18, 2020
Perry Mason has so many delicious ingredients... I'm looking forward to watching more.August 12, 2020
In addition to its thoughtful politics, Perry Mason is engaging and unpredictable and looks stylish as hell.August 24, 2020
It may have been set so many years ago, but it speaks to the world today - race, discrimination, religion, moral turpitude, different sexual orientation, feminism, all wrapped up in a cracking mystery.September 03, 2020
There is something thrilling in wondering what new stories we need to tell about institutions of public life when we no longer trust that they are inherently just or righteous.August 07, 2020
...over-the-top violent, over-the-top gratuitously titillating and it also fails, somehow, to be gripping...June 17, 2020
A dull slough through L.A. noir.June 19, 2020
Strained at times, wandering at others, "Perry Mason" finds its footing eventually and by its end you may want to watch a second season even as you hope it's better than the first.
