"The Good Fight" with Christine Baranski is sooo good. Small spoilers.

Last edited Sat Jul 13, 2019, 07:57 AM - Edit history (2)

Spin off from the "Good Wife" series with Julianna Margulies. It's in its 3rd season on CBS All Access.

I'm just now watching S3 on All Access. Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart, is a die hard liberal. They are taking so many pot shots at Trump, he must be leaking like a sieve. In the 3rd season she joins up with a group to disrupt the "Right". There's also been little animated skits with music about Melania and Trump. Currently one of the main characters has just been hired to work for Melania on her divorce.

While a serious legal dama/ character driven series, it definitely has its humorous parts.

Highly recommend. If you don't want to pay for "All Access", season 1 is now on regular tv. But I do All Access. I just sign up once they release the new seasons of "The Good Fight" and "Star Trek" . Watch both in the space of 2 weeks. However, I notice there may be a couple of other new series I might be interested in as well. But for the no ads option I pay $10.99 for a month and watch whatever I can within that month, then cancel.

THE GOOD FIGHT
WHY IT DESERVES A NOD:
In its third season, the CBS All Access drama cemented its status as TV’s most entertainingly bold and unapologetically wackadoodle drama series. In addition to introducing a Roy Cohn-esque lawyer played by a scenery-chewing Michael Sheen, the Good Wife spinoff continued to dismantle its fourth wall by having characters talk directly to the camera and turning its Schoolhouse Rock-like musical interludes into a weekly feature. But it was the series’ continued obsession with all things Trump, as well as its searing exploration of race, gender and sexual misconduct in the workplace, that made this season’s Fight next-level great.
