Critics' reviews

"[3rd Season Review]: [It] exists in a world of such heightened reality that it verges on science fiction at times (...) I laugh harder at 'Good Fight' than nearly any so-called 'comedy' on TV."

Daniel Fienberg: The Hollywood Reporter
"[3rd Season Review]: Now in season three (...) the show’s flexible, seemingly effortless dodges between the silly and the serious feel true to the experience of being alive today"

Kathryn VanArendonk: Vulture
"[3rd Season Review]: The show remains impeccably cast, and there are wonderful moments (...) When the satirical flourishes start to eclipse the drama, it's not an especially good look."

Brian Lowry: CNN
"[3rd Season Review]: 'The Good Fight' returns as the best show on TV (...) [It tells] deep stories about rich characters"

Darren Franich: Entertainment Weekly
"[2nd Season Review]: Co-created by Robert and Michelle King (...) Their brand might be summarized as 'Looks like ‘L.A. Law,’ tastes like ‘The Wire.' (...) the show that 'The Good Fight' most reminds me of is, oddly, 'The Newsroom' (...) The second season is too good to ignore."

Emily Nussbaum: The New Yorker
"[2nd Season Review]: 'The Good Fight' has become a "West Wing"-style safe space for certain viewers."

Hank Stuever: The Washington Post
"'The Good Wife' had an unusual maturity and moral ambiguity for a broadcast drama; now 'The Good Fight' has the expletives to match."

James Poniewozik: The New York Times
