The illusion of justice

Matthew Rhys as Perry Mason, a private investigator who later becomes a lawyer.

Even after a three-year hiatus, ratings for the first season of period crime drama Perry Mason have made the show one of this year's highly anticipated shows. Perry Mason is known for its well-executed storytelling and performances by actors that make something old-fashioned feel new again. In fact, the show could have been HBO's highest-viewed series to date in terms of total viewers if not for the success of The Last Of Us.

Prior to the premiere of Perry Mason Season 2, it was announced that showrunners Rolin Jones and Ron Fitzgerald had left the series and were replaced by Jack Amiel and Michael Begler. The series still has Emmy-winner Matthew Rhys in the protagonist's role of the 1933 Los Angeles detective turned criminal defence lawyer Perry Mason -- a character first created by author Erle Stanley Gardner. His novels have been adapted into motion pictures and TV series countless times before.
