After a frustrating season, Matlock got it together.
The Maltock Season 2 finale finally ended the Wellbrexa story a year after it should have, giving Olympia and Matty the future they deserve.
It remains to be seen what will happen when the series returns next spring, but at least the two-hour season finale left off on a hopeful note.
The Matlock Season 2 finale gave us everything that should have happened a season earlier.
It was highly satisfying for Senior and all of his accomplices to get arrested, even if I have my doubts that the charges will stick — we can’t have Matty starting completely fresh, after all.
Senior was so smug in his final confrontation with Julian. But as soon as he smashed that wire, I knew there was another one hidden somewhere.
Matlock loves those kinds of twists, and since they include them every week, I fully expected that the wire would be a decoy.
Overusing tricks like that makes big surprises far less surprising, but I can forgive the Matlock Season 2 finale for that because it was so damn satisfying to finally move on from investigating Wellbrexa.
I can’t wait to find out what the fallout from this is. I’m predicting that Senior will somehow wriggle out and Julian will spend some time in jail, but maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

I’ve spent most of Matlock Season 2 complaining that I would have preferred the Wellbrexa nonsense to end and for Olympia and Matty to start their own law practice competing with Jacobson Moore.
My dream is FINALLY coming true!
Matlock Season 2 would have been a lot more fun if it had done that in the first place, but I have high hopes for Matlock Season 3 now.
Of course, with all of the senior partners of Jacobson Moore in jail, we probably won’t have the pleasure of Matty and Olympia going up against their old associates, although anything is possible.
Sarah and Hunter will have to land somewhere, and they might provide the friction that Matty and Olympia’s new partnership needs, though they may end up working for them and disagreeing with half of them. of their decisions.
Those two can’t start their own firm on their own, or at least not without being extremely unrealistic, so that’s likely the best place for them.
That’s the only problem with the entire senior leadership team getting arrested. If Jacobson Moore still existed, Olympia and Matty could have taken the side of social justice while Jacobson Moore defended corruption, which would have made for fantastic drama.
It wouldn’t have been a great ending if Matty had actually walked away from exposing the cover-up after two years of determination to prove that Jacobson Moore hid documents that would have changed the trajectory of the opioid epidemic.
It was never going to really happen, but if it had, it would have meant the last two years were a waste of time.

Still, I cheered when Matty told Olympia that maybe honoring Ellie meant working with Olympia rather than seeking revenge against Jacobson Moore.
For the longest time, she’s been far too obsessed with this. She claimed it was about justice, but I always had my doubts on that score.
It always felt like it was more about vengeance than justice, and that didn’t honor Ellie’s memory at all.
I’m curious as to how Ellie’s memory will inform Matty’s decision-making in the future now that she’s let go of the need for revenge and is willing to work with Olympia (if her name can be first on the marquee — that was the one joke that was repeated too often throughout the two-hour finale.)
Of course, I knew there would be a final twist, but Matty’s character growth was an unexpected bonus as the story began to wrap up.
The fake surrender was also well-done enough that I almost fell for it.
It was hard to tell who was playing who in Eva and Olympia’s scenes, and I totally bought that Olympia was falling for the idea of letting Senior retire instead of making him pay.
The two-hour wrap-up wasn’t perfect. For one thing, the case was somewhat convoluted, and the judge seemed to side with the defense for no apparent reason when he allowed the drug test to be admitted as evidence.
A witness saying, after being pressured into it, that maybe the defendant took a pill without the district attorney even showing the video proof that such a thing happened, seemed like weak evidence to me.
I also found the whole problem with Belvin confusing. She offered to sacrifice her career, and there had been no prior evidence that she and Matty were on the outs, so that felt like manufactured drama, or at least an obstacle thrown in Matty’s path to cause problems.
Similarly, I’m not sure what the point was of Edwin telling Sarah and Belvin Matty’s real last name at the end of the hour. Sarah especially seems like the last person who needs that information or could be trusted with it.
In fact, Sarah’s issues were the least interesting part of the hour. I didn’t care about her weird birth certificate story, her desire to be part of the inner circle, or her inability to decide who to work for.
And finally, I wasn’t overly fond of the opening dream sequence. I could tell it was a dream long before those huge scissors appeared and was impatient for it to end.
