Kill all the lawyers.
"The Good Fight" (2017), a riveting legal drama produced by King Size Productions and CBS Studios in the United States, masterfully extends the narrative universe of "The Good Wife." Created by the brilliant minds of Robert King, Michelle King, and Phil Alden Robinson, the series follows the journey of Diane Lockhart, portrayed by the formidable Christine Baranski, as she navigates the tumultuous waters of a tarnished reputation and financial ruin. Alongside her goddaughter Maia Rindell, played by Rose Leslie, Diane seeks refuge and a fresh start at a prestigious African American–owned law firm, led by the charismatic and cunning partners, Liz Reddick and Adrian Boseman. Set against the backdrop of a politically charged America, "The Good Fight" fearlessly tackles contemporary issues, weaving them into the fabric of its compelling storylines. From the pervasive influence of social media to the complexities of racial and gender dynamics within the legal profession, the series offers a poignant reflection of the societal challenges faced by its characters. The show's sharp writing and incisive commentary are complemented by a stellar ensemble cast, including Cush Jumbo as the brilliant Lucca Quinn and Delroy Lindo as the enigmatic Adrian Boseman, whose performances add depth and nuance to the show's exploration of justice and morality. One of the standout features of "The Good Fight" is its innovative approach to storytelling, which includes the use of fantasy sequences that provide a unique lens through which to view the characters' inner thoughts and motivations. These imaginative interludes, often humorous and always thought-provoking, enhance the viewer's understanding of the complex moral dilemmas faced by the lawyers at Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart. The series also excels in its portrayal of the evolving relationships between its characters, as alliances are forged and tested amidst the high-stakes world of Chicago's legal scene. In its bold and unapologetic examination of the American legal system and the societal forces that shape it, "The Good Fight" stands as a testament to the power of television to provoke thought and inspire change. With its compelling narrative, richly drawn characters, and fearless engagement with the issues of our time, the series not only entertains but also challenges its audience to consider the nature of justice and the fight for what is right in an increasingly divided world.
