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.

Many times I've thought that this one of the best programs on TV. It is has great acting, clever witty dialog and great stories. Like its predecessor, The Good Wife, many of the storylines are enticing food for thought.

The only critique I have is that the show can get overly political. At some point, it stops being compelling story telling and sounds like a rant. It may be a rant I agree with but ... it's just not fun to watch. It feels like I'm re-living yesterday's news instead of breaking new ground.

The writers can be brilliant so I hope they get some a fresh ideas for the next season. Let's get some new unpredictable storylines and interesting cases ... it'll be great for the show.

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.

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.

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?
