The Good Fight (2017–2022)
4/10
I have never done a 180º turn on any TV Show until this one.

Warning: Spoilers
I initially gave this show a 9 and if you're looking for na excellent legal drama look no further than The Good Fight Season 1 and even Season 2, but from there on out it plummeted. The show has always been politically charged but it worked, it wasn't about poitics, politics was just part of the show, it made up some of the side stories and some characters journeys. Ultimately the show was about lawyers and their daily lives at top law firm in Chicago. Then, season 3 came and the term legal drama no longer applied. It rapidly went from legal drama to a show almost solely about politics. The tone completely changed and it became way too silly. And being a show about politics is not in itself necessarily a bad thing, I enjoyed The Newsroom which was very political and I enjoyed The West Wing very much as well, but this just became stupid. It's not open minded or interesting. it is overlty and admitedly biased,, the show doesn't take an interesting political stance on anything. It is provocative in the worst way possible, it is simply a troll and more importantly, because of all this, It became unenjoyable. And I'm very sad about it, I truly am, because I used to love it. The actors were amazing in it and still are, the characters, some of them I already knew from The Good Wife, (which was an awesome show btw) are excellent as well, but with no fault of their own they've become ridiculous, making decisions that simply do not match who they are or what they believe. Because I loved the show I held out all the way through season 3 hoping it would get bettter, that it would go back to normal - it didn't. I began watching the first episode of season 4 and it's still the same. I don't understand the showrunners' decision, so I simply stopped watching in the middle of the episode. Before anyone goes into saying that it has anything to do with my political leanings, know that I do not identify with republicans at all, nor am I a Trump supporter in any way, quite the opposite. In fact if I were to place myself in the american political spectrum I would probably fall on the left side of it. That is really not the issue. I really am sad to say that I will no longer be a viewer.
