Perry Mason premiered in the US on HBO on Sunday June 21. The mini-series is made up of eight episodes, with new episodes being shown on the network every Sunday at 9pm ET. In the UK, it's being shown a day later on Sky Atlantic at 9pm Monday nights.

The original Perry Mason TV series starring Raymond Burr was Hollywood's first weekly one-hour series filmed for television and first aired in 1957.

This gritty new reboot offers something of an origin story for the legal eagle, and is set in 1932 at the time of the Great Depression. Mason is struggling as a private investigator and is also dealing with a broken marriage and the fall out from his time in France during World War I, but his life is upended once more when he is pulled into a child kidnapping trial.

Mason is now played by Emmy-winner Matthew Rhys of The Americans fame, When They See Us star Chris Chalk plays Mason’s right-hand man Paul Drake, with John Lithgow playing a new character called Elias Birchard - a personal attorney, who acts as something of a meant to Mason.

How to watch Perry Mason from outside your country

As Perry Mason is a HBO exclusive, anyone from America who's currently abroad won't find it being aired simultaneously in places like the UK, Canada or Australia. Moreover, trying to tune into HBO like you would from home will likely be impossible because of geo-blocking restrictions.e.

Fortunately, there is a solution in the form of a VPN. This nifty bit of software changes your IP address so that you can access all the content you normally would at home, from anywhere in the world.

However, note that some services require you to verify local credit card or cable subscription details before gaining access, so make sure you have these to hand before signing up for anything.

While there are hundreds of VPNs to choose from, we always recommend ExpressVPN. As well as being fast, simple, and straightforward to install, it's also compatible with a whole host of devices - Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, iOS and Android to name some of the main ones.

Plus, ExpressVPN's flexible 30-day money back guarantee is difficult to argue with. Even better, you can purchase an annual plan for a 49% discount and 3 months extra FREE – a brilliant offer for an essential bit of software.
