Madeline Matlock has finally met her favorite Redditor.
Much of Matlock's first season revolves around Matty (Kathy Bates) and her husband Edwin (Sam Anderson) investigating the top brass at the Jacobson Moore law firm. The titular attorney's secret plan was to infiltrate the firm to ascertain which of Jacobson Moore's top lawyers intentionally hid evidence in a big pharma case that could have ended the opioid crisis.
Matty's investigation hinges on key information from an anonymous whistleblower on Reddit, who narrowed the identity of the culprit down to three possible suspects: head honcho Howard "Senior" Markston (Beau Bridges), his son Julian (Jason Ritter), and Julian's soon-to-be-ex-wife Olympia Lawrence (Skye P. Marshall). The whistleblower's identity has been the subject of speculation, and Matty determined that they must be a Jacobson Moore employee who still works at the firm.
