7.5/10

Genre Drama, Mystery, Crime
Cast Matthew Rhys, Juliet Rylance, Chris Chalk
Created by Rolin Jones, Ron Fitzgerald

Many of us are probably not old enough to remember the 1957-1966 Perry Mason series starring Raymond Burr, or the pulp novels that Erle Stanley Gardner wrote 90 years ago. And you don’t have to be familiar with them to enjoy HBO’s reinvention of the series.

Perry Mason keeps the Great Depression time period from Gardner’s original novels, and acts as an origin story for Perry (Matthew Rhys), as he finds himself forced to transition from private investigator to lawyer in order to solve a nearly impossible case. Season 2 begins this Sunday, March 5, with new cast members including Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them actress Katherine Waterston and Sean Astin.

Game of Thrones actress Bella Ramsey portrays Ellie, the teenage girl who holds an important secret. One of the greatest game franchises of all time sets a high bar for the TV series, but almost universal critical acclaim and an ever-growing audience indicate The Last of Us will match and even exceed the sterling reputation of its video game source material.

The most unlikely superheroes of all time are back for a fourth season of bizarre adventures. If you’ve been following along, you know the premise: The series follows a group of reluctant heroes whose powerful abilities are the result of tragic accidents that have left them psychologically scarred — and physically scarred, in some cases — and now they spend their time bickering with each other and trying to avoid doing anything heroic whatsoever. Trouble always seems to find them, though, and it’s usually a very, very weird kind of trouble. Come for the flurry of F-bombs and clever dialogue, but stay for the terrifying “butt-monsters” and other, even weirder threats to reality as we know it.
