    Rage and fear aside, in the first three episodes screened for critics The Good Fight still also manages to be fun. The show retains all of the qualities that made “The Good Wife” so delightfully bingeable during its original CBS run while lobbing oddball choices into the mix.

    But in its second season, Good Fight keeps complicating its own internal structure, wandering off-course into unexpected tangents. Baranski is doing incredible work here.

    Series creators Michelle and Robert King spend the first two episodes extricating Maya Rindell from federal charges stemming from her father’s Ponzi scheme, including some disappointing turns in episode two that rely on things-that-would-not-happen-in-a-real-courtroom TV tropes. The Good Fight is better than that. Episode three finds the series in sharper form as the law firm comes under threat, relationships clarify and a legal case explores reality TV.

    Marissa brings so much energy and fun into every scene she’s in, she even manages to make Maia seem vaguely interesting through their friendship. The rest of the show is still an entertaining (if uneven) continuation of the original’s world, but her scenes are so much livelier than anything else.

    Everything about Diane’s progress within the firm feels fresh and vital; nearly everything about the Rendell family and its Ponzi scheme feels tired and formulaic.

As with most sequels the matter of whether they can keep the magic of the original is always a question. But "The Good Fight" does a brilliant job of keeping just the right amount of the original without losing its own identity. Intriguing, engaging, and joyful.… Full Review »
