Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAngel's Flight funicular railway began service in 1901 and after numerous shutdowns and being moved from the original location, it resumed service in downtown Los Angeles until the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. The iconic orange/red arch seen in the series continues to grace the lower end of the tracks. The funicular also was featured in an episode of the CBS version of Perry Mason (1957): The Case of the Twice-Told Twist (1966), which was the only episode the series filmed in color. The cars travel at a 33 percent grade for 315 feet and is allegedly the shortest rail road line in the world. As of 2020, the fare is $1.00 for a one way trip.
- GoofsDrake repeatedly refers to himself as "black." In the 1930s, that word was considered a pejorative. "Colored" or "Negro" were the preferred, acceptable terms. The writers appear to have addressed this error in Season 2 with Drake now consistently using "colored".

Featured review
So far I like this series. It is different from the original series, but that's okay with me. If there is a Season 2, etc., I think the show will evolve Perry Mason's career into the type of attorney people remember from the original series. John Lithgow's character is a defense attorney and described as his mentor.
Otherwise, the story is compelling and the acting is amazing. It is a bit dark, perhaps too dark. But the hardboiled detective genre works for me, and the cast wears it well.
