Perry Mason (TV Series) Chapter Thirteen (2023) User Reviews

Ho hum.

[Mothership8 · 6/10 · 11 April 2023]

Dear writers, please stop ruining shows by filling up half an episode with unnecessary gratuitous sex scenes. Yes, we get the whole Della is a lesbian thing, just don't shove it down our throats! It adds nothing to the storyline and it's becoming quite tedious.

Apart from the above I have really enjoyed the series although this season is a little wishy washy compared to season one. I love the characters and the costumes and the general gritty atmosphere but I do think something is lacking in the storytelling.

This of course, will not stop me from watching and hopefully enjoying the final few episodes.

Good luck Perry!

Chapter Thirteen

[Prismark10 · 6/10 · 29 May 2023]

The Gallardos criminal trial is about to begin and Perry mason has no idea how to approach it.

At the moment the only strategy is to discredit Brooks McCutcheon as some kind of saviour. It is the Gallardo family who offers Perry a hope that someone else would want Brooks dead.

Meanwhile after rebuffing Perry's offer of a plea deal. Hamilton Burger puts once on the table. Maybe as a ploy to stop Brooks McCutcheon's name being dragged through the mud.

Despite everything Perry Mason finds a forensic breakthrough regarding the fingerprint evidence.

Paul Drake gets an opportunity to atone for getting small time gangster Melvin Perkins into trouble. It means using his fists to get information that could help the Gallardos.

The episode opened with some backstory to the Gallardo family, giving them a motive to hate the McCutcheons.

Even though still a novice defence lawyer, you see the Perry Mason from the books in this one.

There is still too much filler that slows the story down. Sometimes having a production looking gorgeous is not enough.
