New detective series with Matthew Rhys starring in a TV remake series in the role of Perry Mason on Sky Atlantic (Mondays 9pm), really hard edging drama with strong language and some nudity, at first I was in two minds in watching it, but I was wrong I was really enticed by the new concept of Perry Mason, and its only 8 episodes long. The episode from start to finish invites you into the past and the dark side of Perry Mason and his family roots. Gets you gripped from the start, bit slow in places. I really enjoyed it and had me hooked from the first episode. Totally recommend it, but there is some brutal scenes.
Matthew Rhys plays Perry Mason to perfection the role was made for him, I wouldn't be surprised if he is nominated for another Emmy Award
Other faces you might recognise John Lithgow, Robert Patrick and Tatiana Masley from Orphan Black.

Looks good; never seen the original. Will let my mum know as she actually has Sky though and could record it - though she probably knows about it already; she is complete trash for slick crime dramas like this.

Saw a few of the originals and will definitely watch this as it stars Matthew Rhys who has s show very high in.my best of 21st century list.
Also we have Now TV right now as we are finally getting through The Wire so can see this.

I'm sure it's not the show I'm thinking of.
I prefer the old Perry Mason.

Pretty good idea of which show you are talking about.
