This isn't your grandmother's Matlock! Although there are hints and tones throughout, there's no denying the differences. The writing is crisp and witty, sprinkled with bursts of breath- holding anticipation. The end of the first episode was so surprising, I had to go back and watch it again! Cathy Bates does an amazing job making clue finding and case solving look like a mistake, which I consider a nod to the original. The person in charge of casting deserves a raise because they did not miss a beat! It's been YEARS since I've seen this much diversity, especially African Americans, on a well written series. This show is for everyone! Kudos CBS! IF YOU HAVEN'T STARTED WATCHING, GET CAUGHT UP ASAP!!!
