Well, I'm happy to talk about it. Yeah, we're, we're, the numbers are just, Crazy. They were just off the charts. And the best part about it is that everybody involved with it, whether it's the president of the studio, Amy Reisenbach, who's been our big fan, and David Stapp, the president of the studio, and George Sheeks, who's kind of over all of us in Paramount, they're all so normal people.

You know, and they're accessible. They communicate and they send emails and, you know, they came to our last table read. And I've never had that happen before. And then, of course, there's Jenny Ehrman, who created Jane the Virgin. And she's brilliant. Her mind works like a Rubik's cube. And the layers that she's created in this series is just fascinating.

And I'm also an executive producer on the show. So they send me the episodes to take a look at, see if I have any suggestions. And I mean, it's just, I can't wait. I can't wait. I can't wait for what's coming up. So when I first met Jenny, I first read the script and as I was reading along, it seemed like it was just episodic, that it was a case of the week. Yes.

And then of course, there's the twist at the end. And I was thrilled because I think, okay, now this has got substance. It's about something. It's about something meaningful. It's something I can really sink my teeth into. And I read it on a Friday. I met with her on a Monday and I said, don't change a word. I want to do this.

And then we started talking about the character and where it was going and who she was, where she came from, all of the things, how she had planned to sell out with her grandson. And it was fascinating. I never imagined playing a character like this.

It is amazing. I think so, too. I mean, I had to... keep asking Jenny questions about, is this possible? I remember asking a friend of mine who's in corporate law, not corporate law, but he's in the corporate world. He's a dear friend of mine. I said, could you do this? Could you do this? And he thought about it for a I could. And then I don't have kids. So I talked to my niece.

She has a daughter who's now grown. And I said, but could you do this? Could you be this devious and deceitful and lie to people all the time for your daughter? And she said, yes. She said, when you're a mother, your love for your child is savage. And I love, of course, the fact that she's older.

I would never have believed that I could have done a series like this at my age, been asked to do one, and that we've gotten letters from people, from women who say, thank you, I don't feel invisible anymore. I think that you'll see as the series goes on that Matlock is really falling in love with being a lawyer again. You know, she was in mourning for years and years, and then her grandson died,
