Here’s What We’re…Watching:
Matlock, CBS
Premiere: September 1
While no one will ever be able to replace the greatness that was Andy Griffith, the CBS revival of this classic crime drama looks too good to pass up. Kathy Bates (Misery) is taking on the role of the defense attorney who is pulled out of retirement for another round of justice. The show promises to be just as full of twists and turns as the original, which ran from 1986-1995. Everything old is new again.
Lady in the Lake, Apple TV+
Released: July 19
Set in Baltimore in 1966, Lady in the Lake follows the stories of two women living very different lives when a little girl goes missing in the city. Based on the novel by Laura Lippman, this miniseries highlights the systematic inequalities that characterized the time period, examining issues of both race and womanhood. While this one has been out for a couple of months, it definitely should not be missed.
