Christine Baranski and Audra McDonald in The Good Fight (2017)
The world is going insane, and the Chicago murder rate is on the rise. Amidst the insanity, Diane, Lucca, Maia and the rest of the law firm find themselves under psychological assault when a client at another firm kills his lawyer for overcharging. After a copycat murder, the firm begins to look at its own clients suspiciously. Meanwhile, Diane battles with a new partner at the firm; Maia becomes tougher after her parents' scandal puts her on trial; and Lucca is brought back into Colin's orbit.

    Storyline

    Edit
    Picking up one year after the events of the final broadcast episode of 'The Good Wife,' an enormous financial scam has destroyed the reputation of young lawyer Maia Rindell, while simultaneously wiping out her mentor and godmother Diane Lockhart's savings. Forced out of Lockhart and Lee, they join Lucca Quinn at one of Chicago's preeminent law firms.

    • Trivia
      The show filmed two versions of the pilot due to the unexpected outcome of the 2016 Presidential election. As the production had erroneously assumed that Hillary Clinton would be a shoo-in, a second version was shot with Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) staring incredulously at her television screen as the announcement that Donald Trump had become the 45th President of the United States.

    Brilliant storytelling in Season 1, but then overly political ... and not as fun
    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.
