Matlock (2024)

description

Madeline Matlock is not what she appears to be. Arriving at a prestigious law firm as a seemingly harmless older woman seeking a second career, the sharp and unconventional attorney quickly reveals herself to be several moves ahead of everyone around her, using her perceived invisibility as the most powerful weapon in her arsenal as she pursues her own hidden agenda within the firm.

This reimagining of the classic legal drama stars Kathy Bates as Madeline Matlock, a character who takes the name and spirit of the original Ben Matlock and transforms them into something entirely new. Created by Jennie Snyder Urman, the Paramount+ series is a clever, crowd-pleasing legal thriller with a streak of dark comedy and a sharp critique of how older women are dismissed and underestimated in professional settings.

Premiering to strong ratings on CBS and Paramount+ simultaneously, Matlock became one of the most-watched new shows of the 2024-25 television season. Kathy Bates's performance, full of sly wit, controlled menace, and earned emotion, is the engine of the whole enterprise, and the show's central mystery kept audiences returning week after week.

The Chicago Code

2021
Crime & Thriller
"The Chicago Code" has nothing to do with deep-dish pizzas or the cruelly cursed Cubbies. "The Chicago Code" openly, unabashedly, plain and simple, is all about good versus evil. The good guys following "The Chicago Code" are very very good, and the bad guys breaking the code are very very bad. The windy city itself, definitely a critical element in the drama's development, lives somewhere in-between. Chicago may be "the second city," but it stands out as America's number one oxymoron. "Hog-butcher to the world," Chicago also brought us Hemingway and Frank Lloyd Wright. Home to Picasso's breathtaking artistic monument, Chicago also has been home to some monumental con artists: Rod Blagojevich comes immediately to mind. "Blaggo" is to Chicago scams as the Picasso is to the city's art and architecture. More to the point of "The Chicago Code," in just over thirty years, thirty-one second city aldermen have been convicted of violent crimes or corruption. In Chicago, graft greases the wheels and gets your streets ploughed. Although corruption may be common as camel-hair coats on the Magnificent Mile, Chicago cops still want to collar the bad guys. "The Chicago Code" attempts to dramatize how and why they do it, and it packs a pretty good punch for a network production. Critics and home-grown Chicago viewers strongly suspect "The Chicago Code" would achieve its completely gritty potential on cable, but it's hard to complain about Jennifer Beals, still fit and fabulous all these years after Flashdance, going balls-to-the-wall against the bad guys in Monday night primetime.
