After we finished watching The Good Wife, we knew we would continue on to watch this spinoff show. I checked some reviews on a different site and saw a bunch of one-star reviews, which I have come to know is usually due to liberal politics, a positive presentation of gay or lesbian characters, or too many people of color in leading roles. In this case it might have been a combination of all three elements. I am really enjoying the show. It is funny and dramatic in turns, and very edgy in its plots and presentation. Sometimes it goes perhaps pushes the envelope a bit too far. One example is a corrupt character introduced in the fourth season. I tired of him quickly. It felt to me the actor was “doing” Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman. But these excesses are all in the pursuit of a story told well. Sometimes it seems like they are cranking out conspiracy theories, but why not? Why should the far right have all the fun making up news? So if a liberal leaning show makes your ears bleed you will want to give this a rest or have gauze on hand to stem the flow. For everyone else, make some popcorn and pull up a seat and perhaps prepare to binge watch.
