What an incredibly captivating performance by John Lithgow. I have always been a fan of his work but his portrayal of this role was truly superb acting. The scene in the jail cell where he is grappling with saving himself or saving Emily, moved me to tears.
I'm a sucker for a good detective story and this series hasn't disappointed. It's more gritty than I expected but it works. The writing and story development has been very good through these first four episodes. I've never seen the original Perry Mason series but now I'm interested in seeing how this character ends up.
Even if you don't like this genre, this episode is worth watching for John Lithgow's performance. He is that good!
