Premiere of the series ‘Agatha All Along’ | Disney+

When we last saw Agatha Harkness, she had been stripped of her powers and forced to revert to her false identity as Agnes, a helpful neighbor in a sleepy New Jersey town.

Running Gotham’s criminal underworld is a dirty job, but someone must do.

Following in his footsteps is Oswald Cobblepot, who thinks his moment in the sun has finally arrived.

But just as Oz prepares to seize Falcone’s criminal empire and claim it for himself, Carmine’s daughter Sofia is released from prison. She may not seem like much, but she’s one of the most dangerous people to ever walk the streets of Gotham, and her attempt to claim her father’s operations as her birthright leads to an unmissable confrontation with The Penguin himself.

‘Matlock’ Series Premiere | CBS, Watch With a Free 7-Day Trial of Paramount+ with SHOWTIME

The new version of “Matlock” stars Kathy Bates as the brilliant septuagenarian Madeline “Matty” Matlock, who, after achieving success in her younger years, decides to return to work at a prestigious law firm, where she uses her unassuming demeanor and cunning tactics to win cases and expose corruption from within.

It’s hard to imagine anyone stepping into Andy Griffith’s shoes as the titular attorney, but if anyone can, it’s Bates. She has the perfect balance of charismatic charm and dramatic heft to elevate the character beyond a cliché that’s best left behind, and into a new time and place where she may be consistently underestimated, but she’s never underprepared.
