Hate the Shorts
Love the show, but I hate the cartoon shorts. It totally interrupts the flow of the show. Otherwise great actors, great show.
Have had to withdraw some 'stars' on this one..
If you'd asked me about this show through Seasons 1 & 2, I would have said one of the best on TV., really a treat. Season 3 appears to have gone off the rails, at least to some degree.
You still have some great actors, and some truly excellent writing. The problem comes with some new slapstick approach they've tried to add to the story lines that completely detracts from the import and seriousness of some of the topics the writers are tackling. And so, in E05 this season, you have a plot line that involves alt-right Nazi types who riot at a polling place, mixed with a cartoon segment that was about 'I don't know what', because I went away from the TV shortly after it began.Why? What does it possibly add to the story line?
I've noticed similar detours from story lines throughout this season. It's as if the writers lost faith in the import of their message and felt some odd desire to add comedy to the mix. The Blum character is so over the top I feel as if I'm watching two different shows all at once.
I hope they get back on the mark. This was a great show. Would be nice to have it back again.

An edgier version of The Good Wife
It was a pleasant surprise to see a spin off of The Good Wife. In general, (in my opinion) I find them to be lackluster and solely rely on one character from the original series.
The Good Fight is a breath of fresh air, bringing in the supporting cast of the original in the 1st episode with cameo appearances from actors that had minor recurring roles in The Good wife. IE - Hon Judge Abernathy aka Russel Edgington from True Blood in the 2nd episode.
While I admit it seems a little odd not to have the great Julianna Margulies in the follow up series, the use of profanity caught me off guard coming from The Women's Network, which is where I watched the episodes. I will say it did encourage me to watch it further, as to my recollection, beefing up the language and not bleeping it out, has never been done before.
All in all, I think it has the potential to last as long as The Good Wife, It surely has a strong female cast, all heroines in their own right, which I would expect nothing less from the network I saw it on.
Looking forward to the next episode.

A smart and funny show
One of my Top series.
I saw The good fight in the IMDB recommendation and Voilá, the taste is good.
There are good dramas, the human character is well represented (real things), clever jokes, political issues ... well dosed. When I find a new episode, I smile.
Long life for the good fight.

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.

- TriviaFor the pre-credits sequence of exploding items in slow motion, co-creators Michelle King and Robert King hired visual effects artist Lawson Deming (The Good Wife (2009)) to create something quite different. In conjunction with f/x specialist Tom Ceglia, Deming utilized a camera capable of shooting 25,000 fps and a trunnion gun to fire both glass and steel balls at the fragile items. For the larger solid items such as the chair and table, they used a detonation cord capable of greater fragmentation. For the 40 seconds that make up the dynamic intro, the team spent 24 hours of actual shooting, 12 hours of testing, weeks of prop building, and days of editing to complete the sequence.
