    “The Good Fight” is a spin-off that’s better than the original, and, four seasons in, as it settles into its own rhythm, it only continues to get better.

    Hilariously and thought-provokingly, “The Good Fight” explores an alternate reality where Hillary Clinton was elected U.S. President in 2016.

    Whether you’re a Good Fight fan or a newcomer, you’ll get something magic from the premiere. ... I’m more intrigued to see how Good Fight approaches the uber-rich in its other scattered storylines.

    The show doesn’t simply roll its eyes at politically correct overreach, and though the episode floats the idea that enforcing the rule is the firm’s new owners throwing their weight around, the way the debate plays out, especially among the firm’s black employees, is nuanced and devoid of easy answers.

    That first episode convinced me that The Good Fight still works, and in fact, few things have made me happier over the last few weeks than watching this season.

    Adopting an anything-goes attitude from the freedom afforded by playing on CBS All Access, The Good Fight returns with an audacious fourth-season premiere that considers what Hillary Clinton's election would have looked like, and the associated fallout. As what-if episodes go, it's an especially good one, while setting up a mystery that will drive the quirky drama through this latest run.

    In its triumphant fourth season, The Good Fight remains one of the best, and most insane, shows on television.

In season 3 the once engrossing show veered into a facile, lazy and at the same hysterical pseudo-political satirical show with a neurotic lead character that was obviously pandering to a self-righteous audience.
    Season 4 is even worse. It starts by -seriously- presenting a Clinton presidency where climate change is reversed and cancer has been cured! The idolatry of Clinton in this show makes Trump supporters look like serious, measured and respectful folks. Total madness!

    PS: I am not a Trump voter/supporter by far but, again, this kind of show is the best recruiting machine for Trump.    … Full Review »

It nearly lost me last season. This season it has. Especially when it got on the anti British poor Meghan bandwagon, let’s just ignore that Meghan is one of the most priviledged women in the world whose “truth” has often been questioned (I’m not British). In fact this show explores all the fads of the woke movement presenting any discourse as racist, phobic, bigotry whilst constantly ignoring the plight of the truly marginalized but less trendy poor… Full Review »
