... time invested in building Maia and Lucca's relationship and a surprising ending. But The Good Fight will only have 10 episodes , which causes concern about economy of time. There's great stuff happening here; creator team Robert and Michelle King's greatest challenge will be keeping eyes on everything and not losing focus. They showed some weakness in that department in The Good Wife seasons six and seven, and those had 22 episodes each. Hopefully, the lower episode count will be a challenge with creative rewards. So far, that appears to be true. What happens when you lose everything? You pick yourself up and fight back. #The Good Fight premieres Feb 19 th. __link__/i Gg V 15 U 8 kp __link__/t MGb 9 y Ukv 3.

... their characters. “The characters are so real to me that I always have the sense that they’re off living their own lives, even if they don’t happen to have a camera trained on them,” says Michelle King. “For me, they all were doing their own little shows. We just didn’t happen be telling those stories. I just wasn’t consciously thinking, oh, it’s now time to be making that television show.”. The catalyst for “The Good Fight” ultimately coming to fruition was a way to keep the behind-the-scenes production crew together, as well as the appeal of doing 10 episodes for a streaming service, vs. the traditional 22 episodes for broadcast. “We were much more intrigued by that,” reveals Robert King. “The Good Fight” will launch on CBS All Access on February 19, the first scripted series on the streaming service. As with the original drama, the series will also reflect what’s happening in the news. As soon as Donald Trump won the ...

The Good Fight Season 1 Episode 1 Review

... they weren't. That's why you don't go on instinct. You wait, you listen and watch. Eventually everyone reveals himself. On the other side was a familiar face, the beautiful, badass Lucca Quinn. Along with Lucca, we have Adrian Boseman, who's too passionate to even sit down during the deposition. I was prepared to hate Adrian because the previews made him look like he'd be out to get Diane but I already like him. He's aggressive, but also doesn't take himself too seriously. He's opportunistic, but also seems like a smart attorney. It was his idea to bring Diane to their firm and the strategy behind it was brilliant. True, Diane can't help them on the current case due to the obvious conflict of interest, but Adrian's firm appears to regularly handle these cases and will repeatedly go up against Cook county. So why not take away their top litigator. Barbara: Every rumor I hear about Lockhart is that she doesn't know her place. She's not gonna be happy until she's in the inner circle. Adrian: You're ...

Shailene Woodley, Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman play Monterey moms — and possible murderers — in the HBO miniseries Big Little Lies. HBO hide caption. toggle caption. Shailene Woodley, Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman play Monterey moms — and possible murderers — in the HBO miniseries Big Little Lies. Big Little Lies, which begins Sunday on HBO, is a miniseries that begins with a murder scene, and investigation, in the close-knit oceanside town of Monterey. It's a seven-episode drama, and HBO made the first six available for preview. Even after watching all of them, I still don't know the identity of the murderer — or, for that matter, the victim. But that's on purpose. Based on the novel by Liane Moriarty , Big Little Lies is a study in motivation, conflict and, most of all, secrets. You watch this miniseries to actively identify the potential killer, and the person most likely to be murdered — and the more Big Little Lies plays out, the more you realize they ...

The Good Fight’ Recap

... throwing an incredible amount of shade at Diane. It’s a small moment — in an episode filled with a couple small moments about the complexities of race in the workplace — that works on two levels. First, it presents us with the resentment Barbara feels at having been lectured about diversity by a woman who didn’t practice what she preached (the lack of diversity at Diane’s firm was a plot point in the final season). However, the exchange also reads as the writers acknowledging their past stumbles when it came to addressing race on the show. The Good Fight‘s commentary on race in the workplace continues a few scenes later, when Julius, Maia, and Lucca go to do some pro-bono work for the shopping mall union. Although Maia is the most inexperienced lawyer in the group, most of the union workers would rather go to her, a white lawyer, for legal advice rather than Lucca, who is a third year associate — and black. But the show ...

... also offer the audience something unique — and not just because they’re strong female characters who are educated, articulate and in authority positions – but because they represent women who are each at a different stage in their career; Maia is just starting out, Lucca is at the midpoint of her career and Diane is at the pinnacle. It’s quite enlightening to see how they help each other using very unique methods informed by their age and status. Diane’s plight is one that Baranski thinks viewers will understand. “[On the show] I have to look for work in my ‘60 s. I think so many women will relate to this. It’s how The Good Wife began as well – with [main character Alicia Florrick] having to go back to work. The fact that Diane has to look for work is just so harrowing.”. Fairly quickly, Diane does land a job – ...

How The Heck Do We Watch The New Show

... All Access. LOOKING ‘DEAD’ AHEAD: Now we’ll move onto “The Walking Dead,” a show that always provokes a lot of opinions. In recent months, I’ve published a litany of gripes about the popular drama, including its brutal violence. Most readers seem to agree. Art Carey of Fremont, for example, wrote: “The show got off track with the arrival of Negan. I saw the first episode of the (seventh) season and was so put off by the character’s sadism that I didn’t return.”. And then there’s this take from an online commentator who goes by the nickname of Dillymac. “This show has not only jumped the shark, but the shark has been killed, turned into a zombie, had its head cut off, eaten by a whale, digested, turned into whale poop and eaten by starfish on the bottom of the ocean.”. Thanks for that lovely image. Suddenly, I envision a demented crossover between “The Walking Dead” and “Finding Dory.”. A ‘BETTER’ COMEDY: At a time when new programs ...

The Good Fight Gives Good Spin-off

... Wife. Few series have so delicately and deftly balanced the legal case of the week with inner-office politics, personal strife and ongoing intrigue. The Good Wife explored hot-button, ripped-from-the-headlines topics in a non-Law & Order way. In the first two episodes available for review, The Good Fight takes on police brutality and interrogation tactics. With their summer series Brain Dead canceled, The Good Wife creators Michelle and Robert King return here as showrunners. The world the Kings spent seven seasons creating is rich. Characters easily, believably and organically weave in and out of The Good Fight. Of course we would get to see Christine Lahti’s Andrea Stevens again. Obviously Denis O’Hare’s Judge Abernathy would be back. It totally tracks that Julius (Michael Boatman) would be at Diane’s new firm. David Lee (Zach Grenier) is going to David Lee and (God bless him), Howard ...
