They used to show it on CBS, but got greedy. Not shocking!

streaming services. A few years ago cbs showed about six or so shows during the summer and really liked it.

Never watched, but I really like her.

you the good wife.

Going back to The Good Wife. In fact The Good Fight is less of a spinoff of TGW and more of a re-tooling. With the focus switching from the Julianne Margulies character to the Christine Baranski character. Which was the best part of TGW from the beginning.

Tackling current issues has been a key to their success. Going all the way back to the spin they did on The Social Network movie (the Facebook movie written by Aaron Sorkin). Clearly the creators of TGW felt Sorkin took gratuitous shots at Mark Zuckerberg in the movie. So their episode portraying that sided with Zuckerberg. We now know that take hasn't aged well and history has validated the concerns Aaron Sorkin expressed in the movie.

Their willingness to tackle these issues though is what makes the show interesting.
