Their [Matty and Olympia's] strained relationship is the heart of Matlock’s Season 2 premiere, which debuted Sunday night, as both have second thoughts about jeopardizing their friendship to protect their own personal agendas. It’s an episode of theatrics even more so than usual, both on and off the clock.

There are some good twists through the first two episodes that largely focus on Matty and lawyer Olympia (Skye P. Marshall), Matty’s boss.

While the cases of the week are a necessary evil on a show like Matlock, we wish there was more room to play out the complexities of Matty and Olympia’[s] relationship and the Wellbrexa case.
