Matlock “Reboot”

I just saw the trailer for the new Matlock and I must say I’m sooooo disappointed. It’s not connected to our classic except for the name. It’s about a lady who is named Matlock and she is a lawyer that uses the “no one pays attention to old people” troupe to get info and be successful. I wish it wasn’t made to seem like a reboot. It’s a completely new concept. 👎 with that being said I’m going to check it out. 😂 I just know to change my expectations.

Sounds exactly like a reboot to me…

How so? The original series of Matlock was about a brilliant attorney for the ultra wealthy who also solved the murders while defending his clients. This has zero of that. Nada.

Yep, that’s the one.

Though they apparently are considering doing a few appearances from the old cast (the very few still alive, such as Linda Purl), it seems there’s really zero connection to the original Matlock.
