What Season 1 of Matlock
Madeline Kingston, a wealthy lawyer who retired years ago, returns to practice law as Matty Matlock, a penniless widow who gets a job at a New York law firm. Her plan is to destroy the firm from within, because she believes it is complicit in the opioid epidemic that claimed the life of her daughter, Ellie. To win over her colleagues, she must solve complicated cases with her sharp intellect and mastery of the law. She is assigned to Olympia, a lawyer hungry for justice, and Julian, the managing partner's son and Olympia's ex-husband, takes an interest in her skills. Billy and Sarah, the junior associates, round out the team she works with.
