CBSMatlock, starring the irrepressible and still-formidableKathy Bates, has done more than dominate this television season.
In a shock, its even turned the idea of aging on its head.
That secret identity is a significant twist introduced in the pilot.

Matlock’s genius lies in using societalassumptions about older womento fuel its story.
And thats the fun, I think, of the series, really.
But the show also doesn’t shy away from the more profound emotional toll of Mattys actions.
I think, in a lot of ways, its a completely unique relationship.
Matty is carrying out her secret plans, but she genuinely likes and learns from Olympia.
And Olympia, despite her first impressions, grows to trust and depend on Matty.
Its powerful for people to see that, Coiro said.
Im proud to be part of something that explores so many viewpoints.
Looking ahead to its January return, Coiro teased even more character development.
Matlockreturns on Thursday, December 5, on CBS.
The first ten episodes of the series is also streaming on Paramount+.
Stay tuned to Collider for further updates.
