But in its second season, Good Fight keeps complicating its own internal structure, wandering off-course into unexpected tangents. Baranski is doing incredible work here. Read full review

Rage and fear aside, in the first three episodes screened for critics The Good Fight still also manages to be fun. The show retains all of the qualities that made “The Good Wife” so delightfully bingeable during its original CBS run while lobbing oddball choices into the mix. Read full review

Series creators Michelle and Robert King spend the first two episodes extricating Maya Rindell from federal charges stemming from her father’s Ponzi scheme, including some disappointing turns in episode two that rely on things-that-would-not-happen-in-a-real-courtroom TV tropes. The Good Fight is better than that. Episode three finds the series in sharper form as the law firm comes under threat, relationships clarify and a legal case explores reality TV. Read full review

Marissa brings so much energy and fun into every scene she’s in, she even manages to make Maia seem vaguely interesting through their friendship. The rest of the show is still an entertaining (if uneven) continuation of the original’s world, but her scenes are so much livelier than anything else. Read full review

Everything about Diane’s progress within the firm feels fresh and vital; nearly everything about the Rendell family and its Ponzi scheme feels tired and formulaic. Read full review

Just because it's fiction doesn't mean it has to be unbelievable. SPOILERS. Having Diane take illegal drugs was not consistent with her character.

SPOILERS. Having Diane take illegal drugs was not consistent with her character. And it was implausible for the DNC to hire Reddick Boseman to iimpeach Trump only to turn on them and reveal a tape of Diane threatening Trump leading to a grand jury considering an indictment only to back off due to a perceived scandal. Deep Throat without the depth. Contrived drama with a facile resolution.… Expand

Unfortunately, unlike it's spiritual predecessor "The Good Wife", everything about this show continues to feel closer to political propaganda and virtue-signalling than telling a story.
