Telly’s Take
Because CBS is trying to attract subscribers, and because creators Robert and Michelle King are known quantities to the network executives, I expected CBS All Access to give an early second season renewal for The Good Fight. They didn’t disappoint and will continue to promote the show to attract subscribers. I’ll look elsewhere for sustenance.

What do you think? Will CBS All Access renew The Good Fight for season two? How would you feel if they cancelled this TV show, instead?
I think CBS All Access is a bad idea; release it on DVD; I really want to see this series and have not been able to watch one episode, it really sucks!
I Love this program. Most of my favorite TV shows are on CBS. So I really don’t mind paying for CBS All Access. The storyline on the Good Fight is outstanding. I’m thrilled to see Christine in a lot more storylines she has so much to offer. Also I love Eli’s daughter as Diane’s assistant (Sorry I don’t know her name). Thanks For bringing Carrie Preston back. She is so much fun. Keep up the great writing.
My wife and I spent several hours and even called our cable provider trying to find out what happened to this show. I guess its only available for the $5.99 streaming subscription–bummer. We already subscribe to Amazon Prime and Netflix. Why have cable at all if the shows (the good ones) require separate subscriptions
I love this show and I don’t mind paying to see it. Would be nice if CBS All Access had more original shows of this caliber.
If I have to pay to see The Good Fight then I won’t get to see it. I really hate that because I liked what I did see.
Why isn’t this available through normal channel lineup? I love the show, but come on, you are charging
This is the future of network television – the first-class shows will be on subscription, and the second-class ones on free-to-air. The former will probably be repeated on the latter after a suitable interval. Advertisers aren’t willing to pay for commercials when more and more viewers are watching off-line and fast-forwarding through the breaks.
