Matlock Is Not Just Another Legal Drama
Unlike most courtroom shows, Matlock looks like a movie. Everything—from the courtrooms to cozy interiors—feels premium and immersive.
The Influence of Two Canceled Shows
Adam Rowe previously worked on two ambitious shows that never aired. He used their visual concepts to build Matlock’s stunning world, combining federal architecture with warm Southern tones.
Why Set Design Matters
In today’s TV landscape, great visuals are as important as great writing. Adam Rowe ensured that every room tells part of the story.
Cinematic Thinking
Rowe designs for the camera—not just the eye. Lighting, depth, and flow create dynamic scenes that feel alive and unscripted.
Conclusion
Matlock succeeds not just because of its plot, but because of its world—a world built from the bones of canceled dreams, and brought to life by one creative mind.
