The beginning of a wonderful 9 years ahead. Avid fans of the series will find a critical mistake when Matlock speaks with the detective about his daughter. I viewed a lot of these shows when they first were shown and enjoy them even more the second time around. This was the first in a long line of impossible to win murder cases that has you becoming a detective to see if the killer left clues the police were unable to find. Quick synopsis--Famous reporter's wife wants to give information to him--she gets killed--he is arrested for her murder--after that--lots of twists and turns and guilty looking people--try to find the killer.Crucial point to remember--Matlock almost, always wins so assume nothing.
