Matlock tv series

"With Bates front and center and Jennie Snyder Urman at the helm, there’s endless potential here" 

"Toying with our expectations of a recognizable persona like Matlock, CBS’s newest legal drama honors the original while creating something new entirely" 

"'Better than I expected' is one thing is not the same as 'good enough for long-term enthusiasm'. But it’s a start" 

"Kathy Bates’ Superb 'Matlock' reboot has fall TV’s biggest twist (...) Almost 40 years after the original Andy Griffith classic premiered, CBS’ Kathy Bates-led reboot has a clever, fresh spin. Who’d have guessed?!" 

"I'd argue that 'Matlock' isn't just for the 'Boomers'. It's yet more proof that stories about humans -and especially women- across the whole spectrum of our lives can be compelling. Matty Matlock can be a hero just like any of the young bucks on the latest Marvel show (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"Bates and Griffith can go head-to-head in the charm department, both can deliver a perfectly decent case of the week, the show’s exploration of ageism and misogyny feels a tad undercooked" 

"Because of Bates, 'Matlock' is certainly entertaining to watch. But would the show be equally entertaining if she wasn’t there? We’re not sure"
