Ennis and his colleague Detective Gene Holcomb, as well as Los Angeles district attorney Maynard Barnes, accost Charlie's father Matthew with evidence planted by Ennis and reveal Baggerly is Matthew's father; Matthew is arrested for conspiracy to kidnap Charlie. Mason and Baggerly begin to distrust each other. Adept police officer Paul Drake finds the bodies of two of the kidnappers. He is later questioned by Holcomb and Ennis, who treat him with bigoted condescension and tell him to revise his report to fit Ennis's narrative. Mason tracks a series of mysterious phone calls made by Charlie's mother Emily to a man named George Gannon, finding him dead of apparent suicide, the ransom money burned, and letters proving an affair with Emily.

Barnes seeks a conspiracy conviction for Charlie's mother Emily as well as the death penalty. At Emily's arraignment, unrest erupts when Emily nearly enters a guilty plea and Barnes requests a $25,000 bail, which the judge accepts. Believing Emily's guilt, Baggerly abruptly stops funding Jonathan and his team. Meanwhile, Mason's partner, Pete Strickland, digs up information that ties Gannon to a job at a local casino, but Gannon's former boss tells Mason he left voluntarily for religious reasons. Increasingly convinced Gannon was set up, Mason seeks out Drake for clarity on Drake's police report; Drake refuses to speak with him, having been threatened by Ennis. Della Street, Jonathan's secretary, discovers Ennis and Holcomb attempting to coerce a confession out of Emily. Evangelist Alice McKeegan claims God told her to "resurrect" Charlie.

Mason and Strickland, having stolen Gannon's body, dump it onto a golf course in order to coax an official autopsy out of coroner Virgil Sheets. Additionally, while retracing the steps of the kidnappers, they discover the building used for the ransom location connects to an Elks Lodge and Ennis in attendance at an event.

After Emily's new court-appointed lawyer makes a negative first impression, Street discovers he is working with Barnes.

Production

edit
 
 
Robert Downey Jr. (left) was initially announced to star as Perry Mason before being replaced by Matthew Rhys due to scheduling issues. Downey still serves as an executive producer for the series.

Development

edit

On August 15, 2016, it was reported that HBO was developing a drama series based on the Perry Mason stories written by Erle Stanley Gardner. The production was expected to be written by Nic Pizzolatto, who was also set to executive produce alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Joe Horacek. Production companies involved with the series were slated to consist of Team Downey.[27] On August 25, 2017, it was announced that Pizzolatto had dropped out of the production in order to focus on the third season of True Detective and that he was being replaced as the project's writer by Rolin Jones and Ron Fitzgerald.[28] The HBO revival and reboot adapted its setting to Great Depression-era Los Angeles, some twenty years earlier than the CBS show (but in line with the earliest novels by Gardner).[29]

On January 14, 2019, it was announced that HBO had given the production an order as a limited series. It was further announced that Jones, Fitzgerald, Susan Downey, and Amanda Burrell would serve as additional executive producers, that Matthew Rhys would serve as a producer, and that the production was in the process of hiring a director. Jones and Fitzgerald serve as showrunners for the series as well.[7] In March, Tim Van Patten was announced as director and executive producer.[30] On July 22, 2020, it was revealed HBO had decided to turn Perry Mason into a regular series, renewing it for a second season.[3] On April 23, 2021, it was announced Jones and Fitzgerald left the series and were replaced as showrunners by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler.[4] On June 6, 2023, HBO canceled the series after two seasons.[6]

Casting

edit

Alongside the initial development announcement, it was said that Robert Downey Jr. would star as the titular Perry Mason. On July 25, 2018, it was reported that Downey had dropped out of the role due to his feature film schedule and that a search for his replacement was ongoing.[31] On January 14, 2019, it was announced that Matthew Rhys had been cast to replace Downey.[7] Tatiana Maslany joined in April.[32] John Lithgow was added to the cast in May.[33] In June, Chris Chalk and Shea Whigham were cast in lead roles, with Nate Corddry, Veronica Falcón, Jefferson Mays, Gayle Rankin and Lili Taylor set in recurring roles.[34] Juliet Rylance, Andrew Howard, Eric Lange, Robert Patrick and Stephen Root joined in July.[35] Justin Kirk would be added in October.[36] In "Chapter Five", Lithgow's real-life son Ian appears as E.B. Jonathan's son Byron.[37]

For the second season, Lange and Kirk were promoted to series regulars.[11] Diarra Kilpatrick, who recurred in season 1 as Clara Drake, was upgraded to series regular in October 2021 in addition to Katherine Waterston joining as a new series regular, and Hope Davis among 5 cast in recurring roles.[38] In January 2022, it was announced Whigham would be returning in a recurring capacity, while Sean Astin, Tommy Dewey, Paul Raci and Jen Tullock were cast in recurring roles.[39]

Release

edit

The series premiered on June 21, 2020, on HBO and HBO Max.[40] The second season premiered on March 6, 2023.[5]

Home media

edit

The first season was released on Blu-ray and DVD on December 1, 2020.[41]

Reception

edit

Critical response

edit

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, season one holds an approval rating of 75% based on 84 reviews, with an average rating of 7.3/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "Brimming with top notch performances and dripping in style, Perry Mason's compelling mystery more than makes up for its somewhat messy story."[42] On Metacritic, the season has a weighted average score of 68 out of 100, based on 39 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[43]

Ben Travers of IndieWire said that season one is "built with confidence, patience, and a voice calibrated for today's audiences" and gave it a "B+", writing: "Perry Mason stands as an astounding visual feat for its specific framings as well as its overall world-building. There are striking images of a pitch-black profile and lavish outdoor shots of real Los Angeles locations. In some shows, intimate conversations between two people can clash with the grander scenes... Mason has the intuition (and the budget) to not just balance visual opulence with smaller, private moments, but to blend them."[44]

Season two holds an approval rating of 84% based on 31 reviews, with an average rating of 7.2/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "More cohesive and engaging than its woolly first installment, Perry Mason's sophomore season is a marked improvement driven by an urgent sense of purpose, with Matthew Rhys commandingly watchable as ever."[45] On Metacritic, the season has a weighted average score of 71 out of 100, based on 19 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[46]

Ratings

edit

With 1.7 million viewers across all platforms, the debut of Perry Mason was the strongest of any HBO series for two years.[47][48]
