La batalla ejemplar

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?

I liked The Good Wife, but at time The Good Wife could be predictable. The Good Fight however is a lot edgier and I must give it Two Thumbs Up for integrating the Black Community with the corporate World. Christine Baranski is at her best and I have always been a fan of Delroy Lindo. It is also wonderful to see supporting staff from The Good Wife on The Good Fight. The Good Fight is well written and well acted.

It was a pleasant surprise to see a spin off of The Good Wife. In general, (in my opinion) I find them to be lackluster and solely rely on one character from the original series.

The Good Fight is a breath of fresh air, bringing in the supporting cast of the original in the 1st episode with cameo appearances from actors that had minor recurring roles in The Good wife. IE - Hon Judge Abernathy aka Russel Edgington from True Blood in the 2nd episode.

While I admit it seems a little odd not to have the great Julianna Margulies in the follow up series, the use of profanity caught me off guard coming from The Women's Network, which is where I watched the episodes. I will say it did encourage me to watch it further, as to my recollection, beefing up the language and not bleeping it out, has never been done before.

All in all, I think it has the potential to last as long as The Good Wife, It surely has a strong female cast, all heroines in their own right, which I would expect nothing less from the network I saw it on.

Looking forward to the next episode.
