Brilliant septuagenarian Madeline "Matty" Matlock, who, after achieving success in her younger years, decides to rejoin the workforce at a prestigious law firm where she uses her unassuming demeanor and wily tactics to win cases and expose corruption from within. Matty is assigned to Olympia, a senior attorney and key rainmaker with a thirst for justice, while Olympia's ex-husband, Julian, the son of the head of the firm, is intrigued by Matty and her clever skills. Matty works alongside the firm's younger associates -- the charismatic Billy and the uber ambitious Sarah -- as she endeavors to establish herself in her new high-stakes world.

Lauren Piester TheWrap The plot is more complicated than it probably needs to be, but Bates is so charming and so good at flipping between bumbling old person and savvy attorney that it’s extremely watchable. Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Nina Metz Chicago Tribune “Matlock” has so much potential, particularly thanks to Bates. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times The series trends cozy and comical, but the cases they argue bring up serious issues and give Bates plenty of opportunity to go dramatically deep as she convinces reluctant witnesses to come forward or imparts the wisdom her years have earned her. Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Terry Terrones Paste Magazine Modern audiences may have a place in their heart for classic TV shows, but they still want something novel. This is an incredibly difficult maneuver to pull off, which is what makes CBS’ excellent reboot of Matlock so impressive. Rated: 9/10 Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Carly Lane Collider Matty may think that she's invisible, but you won't be able to take your eyes off of Kathy Bates in Matlock. Rated: 8/10 Sep 20, 2024 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review This “Matlock” isn’t really the reboot it appears to be. Unlike many CBS procedurals, this one’s lighter and while the lawyering isn’t always in the realm of reality, the show’s breezy tone should win over CBS viewers with ease.
