Summary

The world's most renowned fictional lawyer is back on the case in this 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 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. 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.
