The first episode of perry mason is i beleive based off the case of the restless red head the perry mason novel by earl stanley gardner. It is a decent first episode with a decent reveal of the killer. But in the cast pf charectors in this particular story other charectors with stronger motives against the victim might have made a more interesting reveal. I did find the killers break down in court quite funny at one point though. Funny acting.

If your interested to know a full spoiler review you may find it on my utube channel. Luke's video game lets plays. It was decent for a first one but i would have preferred one of the stronger motives. Regular cast does a good job. Raynond burr is on screen the majority of the time. I think his screen time gets cut back to more formulatic scenes over the years, with the majority of the first half of the episode focusing on the guest star that will come to need mason's defense. But with raymond burr still being the star of course. I imagine the cut back of scenes must have been to not over work raymond burr who must have been exuasted from the work load. Granted this episode is just as much formulatic and procedural as the later episodes, just with more raymond burr.

And with that i conclude my thoughts on the case of the restless redhead. Case one is closed.

Bobby axelrod was always the main charector on this show to me. Then Damien Louis stepped away from the show. The only reason the other actor who plays mike prince became a co star was because Damien Louis stepped away from the show. He comes back for the final season and I see another reviewer talk about how they feel sorry for Mike prince and never mentions Bobby exelrod once even though him and Chuck basically are the show from the beginning. And Mike prince was only temporary upgraded to main charector to fill the space but they brought Damien Louis back for a reason because he is billions. Mike prince is not.
