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 Wellbrexa Storyline Dragged On Forever, But At Least It Ended Properly
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.
Matty and Olympia Are Finally Starting Their Own Firm!
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’s Even Better That Matty Finally Realized That Honoring Ellie Doesn’t Mean Seeking Revenge
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.
