If you ever wondered what might happen if Phillip Marlow decides to toss in his PI gig and become a lawyer you’ll like the new incarnation of Perry Mason. He is far from the polished attorney we know and love from the 1950s. I love the occasional film noir feel and depiction of LA in the era. Obviously some effort is taken to tie in historical events although out of chronological context.
Putting aside the incessant need these days to paint a modern woke twist on everything it’s a good series.
One point though. It’s supposed to be 1932. Don’t you think the city would be abuzz about hosting the Olympics ?
