This is definitely a fresh, albeit extremely dark & grisly, take on Perry Mason. Other than the names & it being staged in Los Angeles - everything is different. Matthew Rhys does an amazing job embodying a morally ambiguous Perry who is haunted by the demons of his past. The supporting cast is an eclectic mix of TV/movie stars and lesser know actors who really help bring the series to life. Also unlike the original PM series which concludes a case each episode, PM 2020 maintains the same story arc throughout.. I really love the series so far, and am looking forward to seeing where it goes.
