Matlock Recap: The Nanny State
After another close call, we can’t help but wonder how long it’ll be until Matty’s lies spin out of her control.
While handling a drop-off at her twins’ school, Olympia learns that one of her family’s favorite nannies, Nadira (Ashley Romans), has been effectively ostracized by her fellow upper-class moms. Now, other more law-focused legal dramas might’ve used this premise as an entry point into a larger consideration of social media, misinformation, and cancel culture, and Matlock does, too — a little. While on the whole, I felt like this “fall finale” of Matlock was one of its weaker episodes — with very little progress on the Wellbrexa investigation and an underwhelming case of the week — I do think it contains one of the series’s most revealing moments after Matty fails to make it to Alfie’s event.
