and Keith Kimbell, Metacritic Film Editor – May 28, 2020
In the gallery above, our editors have selected the most interesting TV shows debuting this month, listed in order by premiere date. Because movies are now an at-home activity, we have also included this month's top new film releases viewable at home.
Miniseries debuts June 21 on HBO. Matthew Rhys (The Americans) stars as the titular criminal defense attorney in this remake of the classic TV drama that aired in various forms, most famously as an Emmy-winning series on CBS from 1957-66 (with Raymond Burr in the title role). HBO's version is also based on the Los Angeles-set novels and stories by author Erle Stanley Gardner, though the time period is now 1931, when Mason is trying to eke out a living as a private investigator and gets drawn into a case involving a child kidnapping. The strong cast also includes John Lithgow, Tatiana Maslany, Shea Whigham, Stephen Root, Nate Corddry, Lili Taylor, Robert Patrick, and Juliet Rylance.
