Set in a gritty 1932 Los Angeles, it focuses on a young Mason (played by Matthew Rhys), earning his living not as an attorney but as a private investigator, and on his relationship with Elias Jonathan (John Lithgow), the lawyer who hires him as a P.I., and friends Paul Drake (Chris Chalk), an L. A. cop. The series introduces us to various other people who shape Mason&#8217;s life and career before his emergence as the famed criminal defense attorney so familiar to us as portrayed by Raymond Burr. HBO&#8217;s origin story includes a look at Mason&#8217;s failed marriage (is that why he never asked Della Street to make it permanent?) and his service during the First World War. The trailer indicates that the show has a very\u00a0<em>noir\u00a0<\/em>feel, from the music, to the costumes, to the dialogue, to the lighting, to the cinematography.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Penzler Publishers is reissuing some of Erle Stanley Gardner&#8217;s Perry Mason novels.
