it's dark television.. it brings us to the beginnings of Perry Mason, Della Street and Paul Drake.. could Mason become the slick suave sophisticated Mason of old.. maybe.. but it would take longer than it did to make him a lawyer.. the ex-wife and 2nd husband and son are a good twist.. the acting in this show is excellent from all the actors.. you can always tell when a show has good upside because they don't skimp on the sets or the camera work or the editing when telling the story..
