'The Good Fight' Is Finally Back For Season 2
CBS

CBS's "The Good Fight" is finally back for another compelling season. Starring Christine Baranski and Game of Thrones's Rose Leslie, the intense legal drama is jumpstarting season two by tackling a variety of hot-button political and social issues, including consent, legal defense for the incarcerated, and the #MeToo movement, among others.

Centered around an accredited and renown legal firm, renamed Reddick, Boseman, & Lockhardt, "The Good Fight" enmeshes political and social commentary into its main plot and subplots, entangling certain aspect of American political reality into the show's fictionalized world. In other words, the show does not shy away from mentioning President Trump and his policies, comments, and tweets, often satirizing the already unorthodox remarks he makes on Twitter and in public.

Of course, for previous viewers, the show picks up where it left off, in the midst of bright new attorney Maia Rindell's legal troubles. Still entangled in the aftermath of her father's financial schemes, Maia deals with betrayal and deceit, all the while fighting to clear her name from the investigation. With her mother in jail and her dad missing, Maia only has her lawyer and friend, Lucca, to help her. As Maia struggles to track down her dad to hand him over to the police, an array of lies and secrets obstruct both her judgment and her heart.

What is perhaps most surprising and noteworthy is the show's addition of a new subplot, which focuses on the sudden and terrifying murders of lawyers all across Chicago by presumably former clients. It's unclear if all the murders and targets are connected, but no law firm or lawyer is immune. Meanwhile, Marissa Gold is finally getting to work as a private investigator, in addition to being Diane's assistant.

Of course, many are other revelations come to light as the season unfolds, but if you want to know more, I highly recommend watching the show.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
