Posted May 18, 20169 yr Yes, The hallowed oracle that is Christine Baranski will be reprising her life altering role as Diane Lockhart in the new Good Wife spin off, confirmed for CBS All Access. There's literally no more detail at this point (other than Lucca Quinn joining her) but this cannot be anything other than amazing news and I will hear nothing against it.
May 18, 20169 yr That's excellent news as I love both characters. It'll be interesting how they'll explain Alicia's absence (as they're best friends with Lucca) as well as how far in the future it'll take place.
May 19, 20169 yr ^ The article I read states that it'll pick up a year after the finale. I love both characters too so as much as I wasn't too sad to see The Good Wife go in the end (what with season 7 easily being the weakest that they did), this is exciting news and I am here for it!!
June 29, 20168 yr Yes, The hallowed oracle that is Christine Baranski will be reprising her life altering role as Diane Lockhart in the new Good Wife spin off, confirmed for CBS All Access. For me, her role as Mary Ann Thorpe on 'Cybill' is the one I remember. :)
September 18, 20168 yr Confirmed for February 2017, 10 episodes and Marissa is going to be back as Diane's secretary / investigator *.*
September 18, 20168 yr Marissa was one of my favourite characters so yes for her returning, in fact by the end I liked pretty much all the female characters aside from Alicia!
October 31, 20168 yr Ladies & gents, presenting.. "The Good Fight" http://www.moopy.org.uk/forums/images/smilies/grin.gif
December 8, 20168 yr Launches on February 19th on CBS, with the following episodes becoming available every Sunday on CBS All Access.
February 10, 20178 yr Previews circulating, looks good. A major Canadian network picked it up as well. Pretty much airs here in TGW's old spot.
February 21, 20178 yr I absolutely loved both episodes. It has maintained the brilliant acting and directing of The Good Wife, but with new and more interesting storylines. Couldn't ask for more. And can we talk about the opening titles? A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Edited February 21, 20178 yr by ♡ Heezus Froot ♡
February 21, 20178 yr The first 2 episodes of this were brilliant. I went in a bit hesitant but I'm totally hooked already. Absolutely top notch.
February 21, 20178 yr I like how they're less restricted on running times of the episodes due to it being on CBS All Access, and some of the content too. I think Barbara has a fair amount of potential out of the new characters and Marissa remains fabulous.
February 25, 20178 yr This is fantastic. It's what the old The Good Wife used to be before it turned awful. And Marissa is fab as usual.
February 25, 20178 yr Author Sensational, the move to streaming has enlivened the show. I don't always think swearing makes much of a difference and can in fact often be a detractor, but for this is really works because they deploy it sparingly and also at really emotive points where it feels natural and earned. I thought the pilot was functional, but not amazing, episode 2 however was incredible! Peak Good Wife with about 20 plates on the go at once and everyone firing on all cylinders. Tonally I like that it's a little bit darker than the TGW, but still totally in keeping with the ethos of the show ad obviously I am living for Diane as the central character, even if she isn't really the central focus in the same way Alicia was.
February 26, 20178 yr Finally watched Episode 2. 100x Better. It doesn't actually feel like the same show as The Good Wife. Which I like. Definitely darker.
