So far, this Matlock reboot has been only fleetingly Matlock-y. We’ve had just one murder case, and Matty herself has been more like one of Ben Matlock’s investigators, digging up damning evidence, and not like Matlock himself, tricking criminals into confessions in court.
In this week’s episode, though, we get two “classic Matlock” moments. One involves Matty’s husband Edwin, who takes Alfie’s place as her assistant in the Jacobson-Moore pharmaceutical investigation.
