I never watched The Good Wife, but I thought the pilot for this was promising, they even used the F-word a couple of times, I thought the show might stand a chance of being on par with cable series.
But by episode 4 it devolved into a standard case-of-the-week procedural. :-(
I am completely disappointed and will not be watching anymore.
I have to agree.
'The Good Wife' at least had some ongoing story line, while 'The Good Fight' didn't even manage to make something out of the 'black lawyer's company' idea or Diane's struggle to recover financially, or to develop anything interesting between the characters (the only one worth mentioning being the complex relationship between 'Lucca' and her bf, but even that was quickly turned into a punch line driven comedy).
What we got in excess though was the stereotypical 'between the lines' indoctrination on how bad and ridiculous Trump is according to the writers, to an almost embarrassing extent like around the 'pee tapes' or displaying a life-sized naked photo of the 1st lady in the episodes of Season 2. It almost reminded me of propaganda, as right-in-the-face it sometimes was.
I don't watch a TV show to get patronized on what a horrible person Trump is. Stop the virtue signalling and political indoctrination, Hollywood, leave us alone and treat us like adults! Give us well thought-through stories, use hints at real-world personalities very carefully, and don't turn adult drama series into afternoon comedy series. Please.
After I read that S3 goes on like that, I will exit after S2. S1 was still okay, but sometimes it's better to let go and give it a good and conclusive ending.
The Trump Derangement Syndrome and general SJW crap is just over the top. There also isn't any likeable characters or humour. Even Marissa who was fun in Good Wife is a bland, depressing bore in this.
