Scenario
Follow Madeline Matlock as she joins the staff of a prestigious law firm, where she uses her shrewd tactics to win cases and uncover wrongdoing. A parody of the original 1986 television series of the same name, Matlock (1986), starring Andy Griffith as criminal lawyer Ben Matlock.

For legal reasons they had to give Dean Hargrove a “based on the Matlock series” credit. For Matlock to be hired by a New York law firm, she would have had to verify her law license status through one of three official mechanisms, each carefully managed by the state.

And come on, there’s Beau Bridges
I was so happy that I was bored on a Saturday night and decided to watch the series premiere. We can go home when it’s poured.
