I think this is my favourite show at the moment. There was a period where I was watching this (The Good Friend, as my sister and I stupidly refer to it) as well as Big Little Lies and Feud, and I couldn't have been happier. Strong, female-led drama is what I crave in a TV show (one of the stereotypically gay things about me). This season has been a belter, as well. They're playing with the form of television, having started to break the mould set by network television in the first couple of seasons, now they are going all out to see how far they can push the medium, and still tell a compelling, dramatic and at times, hysterically funny story.
The confrontation referred to in the episode title is just one of the moments where the show breaks out of traditional television narrative to great effect. There are odd moments when people start singing (I can't even begin to understand what was going on with Michael Sheen singing the Jackson Five song "I'll Be There" over the closing moments of a recent episode), and real-world back stories to the events in the show are told in song, with accompanying animation. These disparate elements really should not work together, but somehow the whole is greater than the sum of its parts (and the parts are already fairly heavyweight, amazing cast, showrunners honed on a decade of network television, being let loose on a niche streaming service).
Even if you never really got into The Good Wife, this show is still worth a look.
If you are, like me, in Australia, The Good Fight is available weekly on SBS.

Hot damn! Roland Blum is, single-handedly, owning this season! And I'm glad he's doing so, because the whole blacks vs. whites drama and the excessive political squabbles are alienating me from this show. Sure, he's shamelessly loud and flashy, but that's what's keeping this season from falling into an otherwise endless pit of boredom and normalcy. Roland and Adrian are starting to have some interesting chemistry together, and the final scene with them all makes me hope we'll be seeing more of that duo throughout this season.
On the downside of things, I think those intermission songs aren't working for The Good Fight the way they did so wonderfully for BrainDead.
Blum and I'm beginning to be overwhelmed, Maia, to see what happens now. The one in the red vest saying that women, blacks and mussels can not vote :face_vomiting::face_vomiting::face_vomiting::face_vomiting:

This show is in grave danger of overusing that Blum character. He's so much over the top it's getting too much.
