Matlock trailer reminds us not to underestimate Madeline Matlock

BBG News

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming experience under my belt, I must say that the new Matlock reboot trailer has me hooked! Kathy Bates as Maddie is a masterstroke – she’s got the charisma and the charm to make even the most mundane situations intriguing.

In a fresh take on the classic series, Kathy Bates returns to our screens as Madeline Matlock in the newly revived Matlock. The initial trailer leaves no room for doubt: don’t make the mistake of underestimating her

Initially, it might seem as though Maddie is simply restless due to her retirement or perhaps has unexpectedly taken on the responsibility of raising a 12-year-old and requires funds. But given Maddie’s deep connection with the world, these possibilities appear rather improbable. Instead, it seems there’s something larger at play in her life

Never underestimate Maddie in the Matlock trailer

The debut trailer for the fresh CBS series has been unveiled, featuring both humorous moments and a strong show of identity. This character portrays a woman who cleverly leverages her age instead of being stereotyped as an incompetent senior. Despite initial impressions suggesting otherwise, she is far from a bumbling old fool. In fact, she keenly observes the world around her, which enables her to secure employment

In the trailer, she highlights an intriguing aspect: Age can be a formidable power. Though often unnoticed, she’s sharp-witted and astute. She skillfully outsmarts everyone, even causing prisoners to believe she’s a long-forgotten aunt

In the trailer’s conclusion, it’s evident that her desire to work at the elite law firm is driven by a secondary motive: She seeks an old case file, and it could pertain to something deeply personal. Could it be a search for the person who took the life of someone dear to her? Or perhaps, it might even be her own case file she’s keen to keep hidden from others?

It’s noteworthy that Maddie has made it clear to people not to underestimate her. She’s shared with them what they might consider their unique abilities, and surprisingly, only a single individual appears to be taking her words seriously. This one person openly expresses skepticism towards this seemingly elderly woman who is trying to re-enter the workforce

Take a look at the trailer and get ready for Matlock on Sunday, Sept. 22.
