I watched the old Perry Mason in the 60s because my parents watched it. I thought it dull, stodgy and predictable cliches. This new version is fabulous- dark and disturbing and sumptuously filmed. I cannot understand people whining "it's not the original". It is not- and that is a very good thing. I do not think I lived through a golden age of TV- and really appreciate the work that has gone into this new series. Why can so many people not let go of the past?- just watched tomight's episode-5. This show gets better and better each week. Can't wait for next week- see you in court Mr mason!
