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.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. Moving a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is part of the subscription.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Every franchise you have touched, in one code.

Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet is the part an account pays for.

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.
