The stars of HBO's new show 'Perry Mason,' set in the 1930s, explain how the political themes are still relevant today

HBO’s reimagining of “Perry Mason” is set squarely against the backdrop of post-World War I 1930s Los Angeles and during a time of marked cultural upheaval, not totally unlike the one the U.S. has…HBO’s reimagining of “Perry Mason” is set squarely against the backdrop of post-World War I 1930s Los Angeles and during a time of marked cultural upheaval, not totally unlike the one the U.S. has been experiencing lately.

The eight-episode mystery centers on a more novice iteration of Mason , who is working as a private investigator, and not yet as the defense attorney from the beloved 1950s series. “I think the fact that there’s a responsibility [to remind viewers that] this was done long before we knew these kinds of elements of change were coming at this present time. Possibly one of the greatest tragedies is that this has gone on for so long and that we keep having to remind,” he says.
