The HBO series bears no resemblance to any of the novels, radio shows and TV shows of the past, other than the names of the major characters (Mason, Della Street, Paul Drake and DA Hamilton Burger).
I think I would have enjoyed the series exponentially more had they created new names for the characters and called it something else because it's been nothing like the original.

That’s certainly fair.
Although now I feel like a douche for not being familiar with Perry Mason.
