I don’t understand why no one is watching Perry Mason (2020), 3 of the main characters are canonically queer (in modern terms Della is a lesbian, Hamilton Burger is gay and Perry Mason is probably bi). It’s got Chris Chalk in it, the production design is gorgeous, it’s got Eli from Boardwalk Empire in it, it’s set in 1930s LA and captures the era really well, Stephen Root is in it (although, let’s be honest, what isn’t he in?). Go watch Perry Mason.

So, I just finished watching the first season of the 2020 Perry Mason…

I was a bit thrown off by the summary on Wikipedia at first, but I still watched it, to give it a try. First impressions and all that…

I hate it. And hate is a strong word, I get that, but I mean it with this. Again to be clear, to those who like it, more power to you :] I hope you will continue to like it as the seasons come out :D

But for me… I can’t go into detail about how they changed the characters, because it makes me so uncomfortable; but they changed literally everything except the names. It doesn’t feel at all like any previous PM media.

Just in case anyone gets onto me about this, I am fine with Perry and Della being LGBTQ+. That’s what I headcanon for them normally anyway :] in fact, I think it’s the one thing I like about this show being ‘Perry Mason’.

That being said, I will not lie, if I took away the ‘Perry Mason’ aspect of the show, and instead the characters had different names, they have a nice plot/storyline going on. I do like how they’re stretching one case over the season.

But it is so far away from the material they’re basing it off of, I hate the fact that it’s ‘Perry Mason’, y’know?? It’d be nice as an original series, but just not… Perry. It’s too different then, in that regard.

The universe really said 'You know, Merc had a kind of rough day - we're going to make sure the new Perry Mason episode drops today."

Back in an hour. Cancel my appointments and hold my calls.

So what kind of training did Perry get between seasons 1 and 2? His ass was getting beat left and right and then suddenly he could fight. Good for him.

Started watching Perry Mason a show that bravely asks the question: "What if Columbo was severely mentally ill?"

A year before Raymond Burr first played Perry Mason, he was romantically linked to Natalie Wood. Dates to avoid scandal was a common tactic in Hollywood (and probably still is), and this gossip benefited Burr and Wood. The latter was trying to hide her relationship with Robert Wagner, and Burr would never star in Perry Mason if his sexuality were made public.

More than 60 years later, HBO’s gritty—and queer—reboot of the Erle Stanley Gardner stories features some art imitating life, using similar tactics to link Della Street (Juliet Rylance) and District Attorney Hamilton “Ham” Burger (Justin Kirk) in order to protect their reputations. Set in Los Angeles in the early 1930s, this mutually beneficial arrangement shields Della from prying comments about her lack of a husband—and Ham about his permanent bachelor status—allowing her to pursue a legal career alongside associate Perry Mason (Matthew Rhys).

For a show located so close to Hollywood, the glamorous movie-making biz had so far only existed on the seedy periphery when Perry, in his PI days, took snaps of stars in compromising positions. Tinseltown edges closer when successful and self-assured screenwriter Anita St. Pierre enters the series in a puff of Turkish cigarette smoke, offering Della respite from the dark cloud hanging over the office and the routine of her relationship with hand model Hazel (Molly Ephraim).

“This is my lesbian period piece fantasy,” Jen Tullock tells The Daily Beast’s Obsessed about the Palm Springs getaway in a recent episode of Perry Mason. It has been a busy 12-plus months for Tullock, who is currently shooting the highly anticipated second season of Severance—and cannot reveal anything other than saying it is “nothing short of mind-blowing.”

Gretchen Mol as Bettie Page in The Notorious Bettie Page (2005). Gretchen was born in Deep River, Connecticut, and has 57 acting credits from Girl 6 (as Girl 12, 1996) to five episodes of Perry Mason (2020-23). Her entries among my best 1001 are Dead Mans Walk, Cradle Will Rock and 3:10 to Yuma.

Her other notable credits include an episode of Spin City, Donnie Brasco, Rounders, Celebrity, Sweet and Lowdown, Get Carter, a tv movie of The Magnificent Ambersons, 53 episodes of Boardwalk Empire, eight of Mozart in the Jungle, Manchester by the Sea, A Family Man, and two of Yellowstone.
