Perry Mason; Inside Monaco; Devon and Cornwall

“While well-executed and gripping enough …. it does not yet feel particularly comfortable in its own skin … The tone also sometimes veers between straightforward noir, and parody. At one point, Mason drunkenly spreads his paperwork out on the floor, as if he is Homeland’s Carrie Mathison, in full pinboard mode.”
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian

“Has as much in common with the original as Christopher Nolan’s Batman does with Adam West’s. Perry Mason is its own brooding beast. It looks and sounds wonderful, every set and costume furnished in immaculate detail, with enough nudity and violence to let you know this is Telly For Grownups.”
Ed Cumming, The Independent

“The character is such a world away from the original series you wonder why they bothered calling him Perry Mason at all.”
James Jackson, The Times

“Gawping at the lifestyles of the super-rich has long been fodder for TV documentary makers, but this one could easily have been whittled down to one episode. By the time you’d seen one champagne reception, yacht party and pampered pet with a diamond collar, you’d seen them all.”

”With endless scenes of rolling countryside, turquoise seas and picturesque villages, you can see why this series has proved a ratings winner for C4 during lockdown… There was something charmingly endearing about watching people perform skilled work in dying industries, living a simple life and yet getting so much enjoyment from it. The citizens of Monaco would do well to take note.”
