What We Think

The 2024 “Matlock” is a master class in woke revisionism, prioritizing modern ideological tropes over narrative legacy and traditional values. Expect plenty of nods to current cultural orthodoxy, but don’t look for much legal drama with the classic edge.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

“Matlock” (2024) appears to center identity-based casting and themes, with particular attention to gender and diversity over the legacy of the original show’s lead. Character traits relating to identity sometimes take precedence over legal intrigue and classic personality-driven stories, which longtime fans might find shoehorned.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

The updated “Matlock” leans into modern reimaginings of familiar roles, subverting traditional gender dynamics by elevating new archetypes and downplaying classic ones. Religion and family are backgrounded, with traditional virtues replaced by contemporary moral lessons throughout.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Alternative or traditional perspectives rarely get sincere attention; instead, dissenters are presented as obstacles or sources of comic relief. The show’s worldview is remarkably uniform, with little room for meaningful internal debate or diversity of thought.
