Game Day

I loved the addition of madeline's younger sister bitsy who is actually the inspiration of the madeline matlock persona. I enjoyed every single bit of her on screen.

The sublegal plot of this episode was interesting too and I wonder if it will have any impact on maddy getting over who hid the documents and focusing on the drugs themselves.

The actual plot blew me away the last 5 minutes had me literally on my toes; I cannot wait for what's next to come on the next episode. This show is really fantastic and I love how it's reaching new peaks with every single episode. Came for the incredible kathy bates stayed for the amazing writing and characters.

Ep 14 shifts into a higher gear with the class action, striking the right balance between courtroom manoeuvring and simmering firm politics.

The case itself carries real weight, the kind that tests not just legal skill but also trust within the team. The pacing is tighter than some of the earlier hours, and the stakes feel more immediate... both in the courtroom and behind the office doors.

Kathy Bates remains a steady anchor, her calm command giving the episode its gravity, while Julie Hagerty adds surprising bite in a few well-placed scenes. What makes Game Day work is that it never leans too heavily on either the personal or the procedural; instead, it lets both threads fuel each other.

By the end, it's clear this is an episode that understands the show's best rhythm: a strong case, sharp exchanges, and just enough internal drama to keep the edges sharp.
