Lot of people here didn't like it. We thought it was very watchable. I don't see the reason for the Matlock name, she could have been anyone, it was a good story on its own. Nothing new or striking, but I like her a lot. And the ending was interesting.

We tend to like shows that others don't, and we don't like shows that others rave about, so this fell right in line as far as this thread!
