    Great mystery

    Such a joy to see Kathy Bates back on TV. New show had a great punch for an ending and it was wonderful to see Beau Bridges too. Great way to spend early Sunday night. Super good supporting cast Reminded me a little bit of suits. Like the intergenerational attorneys who were bickering and solving. Really interesting good writing definitely a winner. Definitely will watch this life.

    Finally new shows are back on and this one was a good one. I never saw the old Matlock and I'm trying to figure out the ending a little bit which I will not give away, but I really like that surprise welcome back Kathy.
