[Jive Turkey 12576]

It debuts tonight on CBS.  The reviews have been really positive.  And Kathy Bates is simply a brilliant actress.  We’ll be watching.  Looks fun.

"Why did they remake Matlock with some young woman?"

- my mom, probably

Watched it last night. Meh. Formulaic. The plot twist is not credible. Female partner’s acting is…painful. The Asian girl is cute. Might watch more but likely will tap out after 2 episodes.

1 and done for me. They should have had Kathy Bates play the role as Mama Boucher.

I love a good procedural, and Kathy Bates is fantastic, but that actor who plays her immediate boss is truly, truly horrible at acting. Her and the cringy courtroom dialogue are too much. I'm out.
