September 22, 20241 yr It debuts tonight on CBS. The reviews have been really positive. And Kathy Bates is simply a brilliant actress. We’ll be watching. Looks fun. https://www.avclub.com/matlock-review-tv https://www.thedailybeast.com/obsessed/kathy-bates-matlock-review-superb-reboot-has-falls-biggest-twist
September 23, 20241 yr Watched it last night. Meh. Formulaic. The plot twist is not credible. Female partner’s acting is…painful. The Asian girl is cute. Might watch more but likely will tap out after 2 episodes. Edited September 23, 20241 yr by DDD Dad
September 23, 20241 yr 1 and done for me. They should have had Kathy Bates play the role as Mama Boucher.
September 23, 20241 yr Someone post the "twist" in spoiler tags please, so I can erase this from my DVR.
September 23, 20241 yr Spoiler her last name's kingston. she's rich. her driver picks her up from a bus stop. her husband and grandkid are alive and complicit in a plan to infiltrate the law firm to find out which of the 3 jr/sr partners are responsible for hiding documents on an opioid case from 10 years ago that could have stopped her daughter from dying.
September 24, 20241 yr I didn't watch the original with Andy Griffith and I love Andy Griffith. WTF would I watch this?

Her and the cringy courtroom dialogue are too much. I'm out.
