Reboot of TV show "Matlock" [View all]

Who is writing and producing the reboot of the show "Matlock? " I watched it because I heard an interview with Jason Ritter about it and he costars,because I've always been a fan of his and his fathers, and the always amazing Kathy Bates is in it but the show went out of its way to make two points 1. there's no such thing as widespread police corruption and 2. age discrimination in employment is only meant to prevent people from being pushed out too early not to protect people from being hired when they are older. Sounds like right wing bullshit to me.
