After achieving success in her younger years, the brilliant septuagenarian Madeline Matlock, played by Academy & Emmy Award Winner Kathy Bates, rejoins the workforce at a prestigious law firm where she uses her unassuming demeanor and wily tactics to win cases and expose corruption from within. Inspired by the classic television series of the same name

Who me? I’m 6’10” pal!
I will watch it for HER, but the other cast members look really dumb in the previews and the snappy "oh shit, she last worked at a law firm in the 1990s" ancient history/old people crap writing sounds like it will get old in about two episodes

HEIR TO THE KING OF MARS

Interesting premise​


This is a charming and interesting take on a legal series. Casting of Kathy Bates and Beau Bridges is classic CBS, and while this doesn't ask much of you, it's a fun and easy watch. Yes, there's a twist at the end, which will give the series some sorely needed depth.

Kathy Bates plays the titular character, Matlock, a post-midlife lawyer who hasn't practiced since 1991. She boldly maneuvers her way into a trial period with a law firm, and set out to make herself useful in order to gain employment. Obviously, everyone doubts her abilities and thinks she's too old, and she seeks to prove them wrong.

I felt the same way till like half way thru the pilot, but that ending changed my mind. Every episode so far has been great, and they've dropped a lot of the hack "you're old" references, so I recommend giving it another chance,

Been watching it from the first episode and the old lady jokes are still there, unfortunately. Less, but still present.

I have Paramount+ and may check it out, looking at IMDB it looks like some bullshit diversity cast, and looks like there are more women actors in the show.

That Sylvester Stallone show Tulsa King is unwatchable. It's like some bad Sopranos show, Stallone acts like Richie Aprile

Stallone's series is now on season#02 and the reviews I heard are awful/
But I can tell you the first season was kick ass and worth the watch.
Same with season 1 of "Lioness", its awesome and they are both on Paramount+
