About

You can stream Matlock (1986) on Amazon Prime with a subscription.

Thrifty, folksy and cantankerous, Matlock charges a premium for his services but is worth every penny: This renowned attorney, always clothed in his trademark light-gray suit and driving his signature Ford Crown Victoria, has an uncanny knack for finding overlooked clues and exposing murderers in dramatic courtroom scenes.

Forget the polished, high-powered attorneys of typical courtroom dramas for a folksy defender who relies on charm and folksy wisdom over expensive suits. This sharp procedural finds its teeth in the clever way an unlikely underdog outmaneuvers the prosecution through sheer wit.
