I don't understand Maia's being prosecuted for perjury. She may have sort of misrepresented her internal state of doubt about her father's investment scheme, but where is the evidence of perjury? Other than that, I love me some Good Fight. Firing on all cylinders.

Just to note. First Episode title had one word: "Inauguration." Second week had two-word title: "First Week." Then "The Stup List," "Henceforth Known as Property," and tonight's "Stoppable: Requiem for an Airdate." 1-2-3-4-5. Reminiscent of strategy in the good wife, although that was on a season-by-season basis.

That was great. So crisp and adult and compelling. Wasn't sure what would happen with Alicia, but the new folks plus Dianne and Luca are going to do just fine. It's just nice to have a new show not based on a comic book.

I just watched this episode and was deeply moved. Especially the last scene in the hotel room, Milan with his father's photo, the look on Naomi's face. Great art.

Originally drawn to this by Sofie Grabol's presence. Forbrydelsen remains one of my favorite series ever. Libby, I appreciate your review; I think you summarized the mad rush of the narrative effectively. I'm blown away by this show so far. I HATE the smug oligarchy of the governor and the sheriff. I want Tuchi

I remember the time Peter set off his ankle bracelet and risked going back to jail to go downstairs and beg Alicia to give him another chance, with his play being backed up by the kids. I thought Peter really loved her, had really reflected on his foolishness, and desperately wanted to work it out for his wife and

As a longtime Peter/Alicia shipper, I realized that that scene marked the end of the line for my fantasies about those two crazy kids somehow working it out. I hope they can work out things so they can at least be friends when all is said and done.

Sonia, So glad to see you're still covering TGW; I was a little worried that Homeland would steal you away. Glad I stayed up for your typical thoughtful review. I agree with DC11, this show remains hands down the best show on Sunday night. The last 3 scenes were a tour de force: first Linda Lavin's testimony, then

At least in the first two episodes of this season, case of the week has been much less important, and show has become much more serialized and heavily arced, which I like. Now that you mention it, it is kind of like "The Wire" in the complex collision of different worlds. Difference is these are almost all

One more thing, musical interlude (piano and string quartet) as things get worse and worse for Cary is almost the same as Shubert used in Barry Lyndon. Yes, a Kubrick homage.

The ads for other shows were such shite.

Sonia, your review was thoughtful and provocative in all the best ways. I'm so glad you're reviewing this show. By the way, I have to say I really enjoy this kind of excellently done traditional drama about something other than a dystopian future and/or comic book heros (looking at you, Leftovers.)

That was great. Actually, I was really reminded of the first episode of Season Two of Orange Is the New Black, when Piper gets dragged off to Chicago lockup with no idea of what's going on, being treated much as Cary is here. This show is so tight and real. Glad to have it back.

I was very sick over Christmas holidays last year. I had heard that The Good Wife was really good in the 5th season, so I thought I could just start with "Hitting the Fan" and continue from there. No such luck: I ended up binge watching about 100 episodes in 3 weeks. It really is a great show, up there in its way

I noticed a similar delay for "Top of the Lake," also a Sundance Channel show. Must be off the beaten path for pirates.

My perspective is just the opposite. I still want to see these two crazy kids work it out. I'll never forget Peter risking going back to jail to go downstairs and beg Alicia to stay with him. And the kids backing him up 100%. Guess I have a vested interest in seeing marriage work out.
