The series picks up one year after the events in the final episode of "The Good Wife." After a financial scam destroys the reputation of young lawyer Maia Rindell and wipes out her mentor and godmother Diane Lockhart's savings, the two are forced out of Lockhart & Lee and join forces with Lucca Quinn at one of Chicago's pre-eminent law firms. At Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad, Diane finds familiar faces, including Colin Morrello, who is a rising star in the state's attorney's office, and Marissa Gold. Though starting at the bottom, Diane and Maia are determined to rebuild their careers and lives at the new firm.

The Australian

If you are sympathetic to the virulent and non-stop anti-Trump messaging, there is a pretty compelling legal drama underneath.

Good Fight squeezes enormously complex issues-immigration policy! The shifting composition of the federal judiciary!-into 50 minutes or less without sacrificing either nuance or the spiky edges of its characters.

I was very quickly hooked by its interesting and amusing characters, and its crackling storytelling skill.

Rated: 4.5/5

The good news is that Christine Baranski is still there as Diane, though less poised now after being scammed out of her life savings and forced to start all over again.

Not sure why the producers choose to get political. Shame really, the first season was great. Get to episode 7 in season two and goes down hill. Just shows you how derange people are. Think I will just stick to The Good Wife.

I watched the first season and found the story to be quite good with multi-layered characters that don't fit into a good/evil schema. The influence of politics on jurisprudence is probably very close to reality. No one has only noble motives, it is also mostly about profit, power, manipulation, using people close to you for selfish purposes and how to pull the strings most skilfully. (Like Google and the law firm playing games with each other while benefiting from each other.) Okay, it's satirical and sometimes frightening realistic. Coming to the second season I feel that the contributions are not only satirical but also increasingly disillusioning and cynical. Individual cases show that (political) attitudes can be corrupted and bought, and that truth and veracity are secondary. The main thing is that the desired result is achieved. Everyone lies and plays theatre. (No microdosing of drugs helps against the spreading insanity.) The grotesque figures of the judges and the overexcited lawyer fighting with her "Alexa" are amusing and a welcome contrast. My "favorite social scientist" Adorno left a collection of aphorisms. One of them reads: "There is no right life in the wrong one". The saying came to mind when I saw it.

I love this show. The quality of the writing is so good. In this season lawyers maybe in danger, Maya has the cloud of poss prison time hanging over her, and there is a pregnancy somewhere too
