Thanks to FR, my wife and I have been binge-watching The Good Fight. The writing and acting are superb. The anti-Trump themes are comical, over the top, and predictable. Very entertaining.
On the surface, The Good Fight is leftist, and as SERKIT says “over the top”.
I watch it while I’m thinking “what is the REAL message?” And “who are they trying to persuade?”
I thought the show intro was also interesting. It changed with each season.
I’m currently in the 6th and final season. Eager to see how it turns out.
Regardless of one’s left/right position, I think the show raises many interesting issues that need to be discussed. The most obvious is race relations. IMO they handle it pretty well - nudging all sides of the issue. IMO they acknowledge that bias exists, but they also mock extreme reactions (reparations, etc.)
My favorite topic so far was in season 5 where they paradise (yep, it’s a word, I looked it up) the court system, judges, crazy rules, etc. I was kind of cheering for the renegade court system in the first few episodes. Then more was revealed. Toward the end of the season, I think the real “meat” was a discussion about individualism vs. law. They didn’t give an “answer”; just raised the questions. Very, very, very interesting (to me) to think about.
Glad to hear you are watching this and I’d be interested to hear more of your thoughts on it. I hope you continue to find it as enjoyable and thought-provoking as I have.
