The Good Fight 2017

I enjoy legal/political drama, so I watched The Good Wife and later continued watching The Good Fight, while being a male in his 20s living in Western Europe.

By season 6, there is basically no lawyering at all, just liberal political agenda. I now consider the show purely a barometer of bleeding edge US liberal thought, since the law is made in courtroom in the US and lawyers in this show argue corresponding points in make-believe court (interestingly, we get a "need to go deeper" moment, with having a "private" court in S5 ). Lawyers also supposedly argue their best, so if the show did not convince you, other liberal propaganda probably won't move you either.

Since I cringe from watching the news, but consider it important to know US liberal agenda, I find watching the show worth my while.
It is still done very professionally from technical point of view with nice graphics and acting, and there is always engaging law firm internal politics plot, so I would find it greatly enjoyable if it wasn't so politically skewed.
