    I tried with the first season, but it's really so noire, I don't care about any of the characters. They're all miserable and **** especially Perry Mason. This one isn't much better and it's boring as ****

    Knottily complex storytelling, replete with plot twists and moral nuance, was an improvement on the uneven debut run. Themes of racial and sexual prejudice arose naturally from the narrative, rather than feeling tacked-on for 21st century relevance. ... Perry Mason is an underrated treat.

    After three long pandemic years, the brilliant Matthew Rhys returns to his series role as a legal eagle now embroiled in a haunting and hypnotic 1930s plot that resembles the film noir classic Chinatown. Yup, it’s that good. Perry, it's great to have you back where you belong.

    His redemption arc was compelling, but heavy-handed storytelling lets him down in Perry Mason's disappointing second season. [13 - 26 Mar 2023, p.4]
