Type: Legal Drama

In the rich (and also a little inflated) field of reboots and remakes that characterize the world of contemporary TV series, stands out an interesting and successful product: Mat It is the updated version of an homonymous show of the eighties and nineties, played by Andy Griffith.
The universe of the Legal Drama, a genre of great popular success in the United States, relives overturning roles and gender conventions, with the eighty year old Kathy Bates in the role of Madeline “Matty” Matlock, a lawyer who decides to return to practice the profession after thirty years.

The protagonist ironizes on the same name with the character of the old series, creating a linguistic and mettolevisive game that accompanies the viewer from the early bars.
Matlock confronts a decidedly younger world, between claims for the Black community and attention to the “politically correct”in which diffidence is soon replaced by collaboration, kindness and mutual learning.
The series aired in the United States on the CBS network (it is a generalist TV product) and distributed by us on Paramount+ Weekly cadence: as if you want to centerate the wait, establish appointments, recreate the rituals of the old television.
For lovers of judicial TV series and to admire an icon of Hollywood cinema.
