La batalla ejemplar

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 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.

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

Fan of 'The Good Wife' and thought this show would be like that one but I was mistaken. I don't ever remember that show having direct attacks and plot focus on when it ran when Obama was President; while this show seems to makes an obnoxious point to include some type of Trump scandal in every episode. No matter your political belief, if a show is going to include attacks against any political person or view, I don't think they should be so focused on that being a main part of the entire plot of the show and to be so hypocritical of always attacking one side of political beliefs. Like I mentioned, it doesn't matter what side of the political party you're on, it just got so old that the people involved with creating the show have some vengeance they're trying to have the show reflect. This also includes bringing up race a lot and likes to make every 'villain' and issue caused by white people.

Up front I will state that I am a big fan of The Good Wife and Julianna Margulies and took a while to get over it ending, very much like when any good TV show ends.

I waited until I had almost all of the episodes of this series before I talked my partner into watching it.

After the first episode I didn't have to talk her into any further episodes, we binge watched the whole season in one weekend.

Wow is the one word I would use to describe this show.

So many good actors and characters who are just make for a really great show IMHO.

Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart, Cush Jumbo as Lucca Quinn, Rose Leslie as Maia Rindell and Delroy Lindo as Adrian Boseman just a few of the characters I just love and they put in stellar performances.

Add Carrie Preston as the wacky and sublime Elsbeth Tascioni and you have a huge hit in my eyes.
