The Good Fight (TV Series) And the Court Had a Clerk... (2021) User Reviews

illuminating issues like no where else mainstream

[virginiasuerene · 9/10 · 9 July 2021]

This is a must see for any journalism aficionado. One of our worst problems is a pandemic of misinformation and decline of journalistic truth. This episode explains why. Like a boxing match with punches landing left and right, point after point in the case against social media and Rule 230 reveal some of the main reasons we are in this mess. Repeal Rule 230!!!

Patinkin's Court

[safenoe · 7/10 · 19 July 2021]

A lot of sub-plots in this third episode of the fifth season of The Good Fight, and I felt a longer episode would have helped give more substance and resolution in a satisfactory manner. Still, Zach Grenier (who I'll never forget in Twister) achieves more prominence, and Aaron Tveit returns to the court room.

Episode 503

[bobcobb301 · 7/10 · 26 July 2021]

If there was any hope of the show being less political post-Trump that was gone with this episode.

Why do they have to cover 1/6? Jane Lynch will be good in this role, but just do something else.

Excellent Episode with humour & good fights

[SallyWilliams · 10/10 · 10 July 2021]

Christine Baransky & Mandy Patinkin are both such convincing actors, it was a delight watching this episode. I really like that the show is balancing important matters of todays society and those surreal elements like this unofficial court or rooms full of teddybears. Of course the rightwing people & Trump fans are always putting the show down, because they put a lot of the things on display that are wrong with the world these days, and especially in the US. Please keep up the Good Fight. We really need it.

Continuing to stay totally on topic. We need this show.

This show has me riveted every episode and this one is no different.

The constant evolution of the characters is just a beauty to behold.

This episode, as many do, focused on a current 'hot topic' in a way a lay person can understand but also with humor. Loved how they played it. The Copy Coop Court continues and so continues the wonderful presence of Mandy Patinkin (can't get enough of him), and weirdly it's oddly believable and comforting.

Jane Lynch is back as the FBI agent, a tad softer than in previous episodes IMO and with sound effects that had me laughing out loud, we need to see more.

Carmen continues to ruffle feathers whilst looking freaking awesome - haven't made my mind up on her - friend or foe?

This show gives me Newsroom vibes and I'm here for it. If you're tired of this show, you're tired of life.

Getting really boring and preachy

[francesredmond · 2/10 · 9 July 2021]

What a really boring, preachy episode. The joke court is wearing thin, and where does the pretend judge get the money to pay a retainer to a law firm and the wages of the security guard from last week? Marissa is offered a percentage but he needs money to rent premises and run the whole thing. It's supposed to be entertaining but it's not - and those cartoon shorts are just irritating. I wish it could find the mojo it had through seasons 1 & 2 but I don't think it's going to happen.

If I was a liberal Democrat, this episode would make me a gun toting republican

[michaeldanielbourke · 1/10 · 9 July 2021]

...sadly I feel this sometimes excellent show is coming to an end. With this loss in key characters it seems to have lost its direction. Elevating the Marisa Gold character, a mistake. Those condescending good fight shorts, a mistake and season 5, the end.

i know but

[yukofly · 5/10 · 18 July 2021]

I know this is a ridiculous show, but the kangaroo court is too far. I don't like it. Please stop that storyline. Moyo is better.

First 4 seasons great, what happened?!

[rdxctcpp · 3/10 · 17 September 2021]

Season 5 has been pretty bad, all the episodes, no exaggeration! Extremely political and fully biased and unjustified. I'm still hoping the lawyers will start to realise how stupid they really are, but I'm not holding my breath, not sure l'll be able to stomach the rest of the season...
