Perry Mason, starting June 21 HBO

[IcyPeas]

The BBC gave it a pretty good review:

An interesting very topical subplot:

Paul Drake (Chris Chalk), a police officer here, is Mason’s private investigator in the classic version. One of the new series’ better tweaks is to cast a black actor as Drake, and to create a strong subplot exposing the racism and corruption in the police department. As Drake grapples with choices about his own future – he is a cop but forbidden to handcuff a white man – Chalk gives the character a strength and sternness that make him almost as compelling as Mason

1. My husband and I plan to watch it!

This is a very good review and just makes me want to watch it all the more.

2. i'm a fan of the Raymond Burr show hope this is good.

7. The old TV series was much closer to the novels by Erle Stanley Gardner.

The main characters had no discernable past, and they didn't develop. The new series is an imagined back story, with the good guys not all that good, but a lot sexier.

8. The thought of seeing Della naked is somewhat disturbing.

9. Barbara Hale looked pretty good

when she played opposite Tom Conway in a couple of "Falcon" movies.

3. I made it through about three minutes of the trailer. It's really horribly bad.

Overboard production values, cringe-inducing acting, etc.

4. Tatiana Maslany is a great actor!

I loved her roles in "Orphan Black".

This role should be great for her.

[Lionel Mandrake]

6. Yes!

She's magnificent as "Sister Alice", aka Aimee Semple McPherson.
