I've never watched a single episode of "The Good Wife". But I was addicted to the Kings' other show, "BrainDead" (my absolutely favourite TV show of last year). I was heartbroken when I got to know it would not be renewed for a second season because the Kings would be busy producing a "The Good Wife" spin-off instead. I immediately hated "The Good Fight" (by then a nameless new series, just announced) because of that alone.
Anyway, since there would be no more "BrainDead" for me, ever, I decided to put my misguided hatred aside and check the new Kings' show (after confirming online that it was not required to have previously watched "The Good Wife"). This pilot episode was interesting enough to catch my attention and I already look forward to the rest of the season. A (not so) subtle parallelism can be drawn between the opening credits and with what just happened to Diane Lockhart's life. A cute little detail that only adds up to the surely to be strong personality of this show.
I haven't watched a law series since "Eli Stone" (yes, I know it's not a super serious law show, but it brought the fun to TV law entertainment better than anything else since "Ally McBeal"), so I was eager to fill that void (without the quirkiness) with something new. "The Good Fight" already seems to quench my "OBJECTION!" thirst just fine.
Thank you for reading my little rambling story.
Also, Christine Baranski. Can't go wrong with her.
Now, onto the second episode!
Thank god you guys are back!
I need more of this ladies.
I loved Alicia but this new point of view is exciting.
I will miss Alicia and will always be weirded out by that sudden TGW ending but this looks juicy and exciting, Diane was always too good for what her firm had become and I'm happy that Lucca came back alongside her. Everything good about The Good Wife remained, fast pace, edgy storylines and masterful acting.
Exciting first episode, I like Rose Leslie a lot. The whole cast seems interesting.
In the tradition of The Good Wife, clever storylines, fast paced, good acting.
All the good things of the good wife but without Alicia
Tremendous start. I haven’t watched the Good Wife. I might after this.
Good start. Nice continuation to the good wife. I love Christine Baranski.

Republicans are going to have a nightmare. First Diane's scene of pretty much walking out of the room after shutting down her TV, then followed by a lesbian couple, where one of them is the main character. These types of dramas are a true representation of how progressive the Left Wing is in America. Thank you Kings' for your excellent writing, from The Good Wife to BrainDead and now The Good Fight.
