So, rather shockingly, the Matlock pilot might be the best pilot episode of television I’ve seen since Lost. Absolutely shocked because (a) it’s Matlock and (b) the advertising for this show keeps all the cards it has close to its chest.
An absolute clinic in how to establish a show’s premise, characters, and get the audience to stay tuned for a full season of broadcast television in just an hour. Also Kathy Bates is possibly America’s most under appreciated actress.
