    The painfully politically correct trials of a late-middle-aged law partner.Christine Baranski in a 'Good Wife' spinoff which knowingly addresses US racial/social/political issues and turns them into high-stakes soap fodder.Now, I was reasonably amused by The Good Fight for three or four episodes because let's face it, it's smart. You don't get to be a scriptwriter for a high-powered legal soap (writcom) without having first-class writing chops. Then they brought in Matthew (Friends) Perry as high-powered villain lawyer because everybody else was so busy having their prejudices confronted.Sorry, guys, he stinks. That's S-T-I-N-K-S. He makes it unwatchable on any level; nostalgic, ironic or 'Úgly Betty meets Thirty Something meets L.A. Law'. As your attention wanders when he's on screen, you start to realise how patronising, pompous and pathetic The Good Fight is. Yes, it's great to have black people, lesbians and women of a certain vintage being the lead characters, but this is just fanciful virtue signalling throughout. "Hey! Blacks, lesbians and old ladies have the same legal problems as the rest of us. It's just that we thought we'd stunt-cast a WASP has-been to let you know where we're really coming from".

    But no show is worth paying another monthly bill. Besides, CBS ACCESS, has only one or two shows worth watching. To bad for the "Good Fight" should have gone with Hulu or Prime....

    Many of the original actors and staff. Has the obligatory gay couple (which by now you would think we could do without), but still a story line that keeps interest. And, like The Good Wife, you get to learn some legal tidbits and see legal maniverung that most of us, probably even many lawyers, will never get to see first hand.

    Spoiler Alert: Storyline.The first season was great. Love Jumbo Cush and Rose Leslie. Great non political storylines the first season.The show runners (former Good Wife creators) have turned season 2 into bashing Trump with every made up fake news story. Every episode is one cheap shot after another.It makes these respected actors looks awful by the way. Christine Baranski was likable as Diane Lockhart. I can't stand what her character has become now. It's really a shame too. I saw this series going for a long run; not so much anymore. It's cringeworthy now.
