Perry Mason: Chapter Eight (2020)
Season 1, Episode 8
10/10
A classic ending to a great season one
11 August 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Other reviewers have mentioned details of this episode. What I want to point out is the ending: it's taken from the opening pages of The Case of the Velvet Claws, the very first Perry Mason book. Perry's new client is Eva Griffin, just like in the book, and Della expresses doubts about her in dialogue that is taken verbatim from the book.

And the great Perry Mason theme song by Fred Steiner plays over the end credits.

I was concerned like many here over the F-bombs, Perry as a private eye, etc., but everything dovetails at the end with Perry, Della, Paul Drake, and Hamilton Burger settling into their classic roles in the Perry Mason canon.
