HBO Gets Perry Mason Mostly Right | The Pulpy Roots of the Mystery Series
Perry Mason might be the most famous and popular fictional lawyer ever created, but he wasn’t always the paragon of lawyerly skill and virtue that the public imagines him to be. Instead, Perry was a deeply flawed character who was very much a product of his pulp fiction roots in the 1920s and 1930s when author Erle Stanley Gardner began writing the best-selling mystery book series of all time.
In this video, I look at how the Perry Mason character has evolved from his earliest incarnations and across different media adaptations to become the legal icon we know today.
