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.
