Matlock

Two shows with one name and no connection whatever. In the 2024 one the name is a disguise, and the 1986 one exists inside it as a television programme the characters used to watch.

Where to start with Matlock

These are two unrelated shows and neither needs the other. Watching the original does nothing for the new one except let you catch a joke in the first episode, and the new one spoils nothing about the old. Pick whichever you actually want. Inside each, episodes stand alone.

  1. 1
    Diary of a Perfect Murder Diary of a Perfect Murder

    The 1986 pilot, if you are starting with the original. Note the daughter is recast immediately afterwards.

  2. 2
    Matlock, 1986, season 2 Matlock

    Twenty four episodes from the original at its most settled. Any season works.

  3. 3
    Matlock, 2024, season 1 Matlock (2024)

    The Kathy Bates show. Nineteen episodes, and the first one turns on a reveal about who she really is, so start at the beginning of this one rather than dropping in.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
