      Audience Reviews for The Good Fight: Season 1

      • Oct 02, 2022
        Even though I disagree with some of the topics on this show, I can't deny that the first season was very good. It was intriguing and made me binge watch. I've reached season 6 now, and I'm sad to say that the show has been losing its momentum from season 3. Christine Baranski is amazing and so is Sarah Steele. Their characters are written beautifully. Overall the show is amusing, I just wished that the writing for the other seasons was as good as for the first.
      • Aug 28, 2022
        one of the worst of the political genre series ever... identity politics in almost every frame, there is little to no true engagement on real issues. Almost comedic in its portayal of trump, trump supporters, whites in general (who are mostly members of militia groups intent on taking down this government, resorting to violence at every turn) the story line never lets up hammering home the same tone deaf rhetoric. It might have been more interesting had they engaged more actual political discourse on the issues of the day, but it seems the writers weren't sophisticated enough for that.
      • Aug 10, 2021
        Season 1: A bit faster, a bit darker, far more political than The GoodWife. Christine Baranski is fantastic. Rest of cast very good but Bernadette Peters is miscast I think. I'll watch the rest of the seasons, definitely.
      • Mar 14, 2021
        Fantastic tv show that depicts modern conflicts with no cringe.
      • May 01, 2020
        How is this show possible rated this high?
      • Apr 17, 2019
        Outside the Overton window
      • Mar 24, 2019
        Can't get past Rose Leslie and her insipid Maia character. The whole storyline involving her parents was dragged out too long..and her whiny voice just killed this show for me. Let me know when they kill off her character.
      • Dec 19, 2018
        It doesn't have that something special that the good wife had, that kept you on the edge of the seat. But it is fun and entertaining and as the good wife, it manages to play with current political developments in an interesting manner. Strong women in the lead is another plus for this show.
      • May 11, 2018
        Best thing on the tv at the moment
      • Mar 26, 2018
        GENIUS WRITING. GENIUS ACTING. GENIUS DIRECTING. EVEN BETTER THAN THE GOOD WIFE
