The Good Fight

Love the show, but I hate the cartoon shorts. It totally interrupts the flow of the show. Otherwise great actors, great show.

I loved this series up top season 5.

Definitely needs a change in the writing team...could have done better than copy and paste real life events. Seem like they've run out of ideas after Trump. And those fake courts. What a waste of time.

I like the cast though.

I'm not an US citizen.

Season 1 is good but from time to time already pretty much on the nose with their political views.

the good wife was great because it showed both political sides in the US with smart and subtle writing. it was a little bit left leaning but showed both political views with respect and their pros and cons. the viewer could think and come to his own conclusions.

i stopped watching in the beginning of season 2. the writing is unbearable. it lacks all nuance.

it insults the viewers' intelligence.

I watched this show out of curiosity as someone taking a law class right now and actually found it pretty interesting. I always liked the character of Diane on The Good Wife and it's neat to see a very different type of law firm than the one on the Good Wife-- I'm honestly more invested in the success of the firm.

In a way, this reminds me of The West Wing. It's that same kind of fast paced, jargon-y, liberal comfort food. Rose Leslie's bad American accent is really distracting and I'm not all that into some of the random story lines but it's a great show to lean back and relax with on a Sunday night.

CBS has produced a very well-made drama that isn't necessarily groundbreaking but uses previous formulas and tropes in a captivating way.

Exceptional cast and great story-line opportunities. Unfortunately actors can only do so much when working with an ideologically captured writing team. I can understand incorporating current events and climates, but to have absolutely everything be focused on race or politics (especially blatantly one-sided politics) gets old really fast, and that comes from someone with no political leanings. Most people don't watch television or films to have a narrative constantly shoved down their throats, it's to escape the ills of the world and focus on something else entirely. Otherwise we'd exclusively watch documentaries. The incorporation of silly cartoons meant to do nothing other than push one specific narrative was also lazy and tiring. There was such a good opportunity here to create another great show like "The Good Wife", yet it fell drastically short of even palatable entertainment. In the words of Morgan Freeman: "Stop talking about it. I'm going to stop calling you a white man, and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man." Can't we just return to great entertainment with creative story-lines?
