These days, fans are familiar with seeing reboots of successful old series. Even shows that fans hold sacred have been plucked from the dusty shadows to see new life. The Matlock approach turned out to be a very different way of handling a series that has been done before — a show that we might […]
Mickey Haller has a poor track record when it comes to romance on The Lincoln Lawyer. When we were first introduced to the defense lawyer, we quickly discovered that he had two ex-wives, both of whom he was still on excellent terms with, including one who was still his legal aide. So, while he’s been […]
Madeline “Matty” Matlock might need a little help setting up the Wi-Fi. But when it comes to navigating the legal jungle, she’s got decades of wisdom that put her light-years ahead of her younger colleagues.
