I was expecting something more along the lines of Bosch meets LA Confidential meets the Golden Age of Hollywood, but it's really difficult for me to reconcile this 8 episode version of Perry Mason vs. the original Perry Mason that I saw on more than 200 episodes of the original series.

Holy crap, I sound like an old fart. Yeesh.
I guess in retrospect I’m glad I haven’t seen the old Perry masons. Because I’m enjoying the hell out of this. If seeing the old ones would ruin it I guess I’m glad I missed out.
