What a great show! I wish they would begin Season 2 before early 2018. All the actors/actresses are supberb! Thanks for the enjoyment.
Extremely excited for season 2. I’m absolutely in LOVE with this show.
That was certainly a short first season and I was intrigued. Glad to hear of a second season as the plot and characters are great
It’s not on regular tv so i guess I won’t be watching x2
The 1st season is over already….?
I’m loving The Good Fight. Keeps me coming back after each episode and still has the good wife feel, which i absolutely enjoyed. Looking forward to season 2.
