    Thanks, watching now!

    Forgot that it was due to air!

    Not sure about the Diane storyline.
    Her character would never start taking or end up dependant on psychoactive drugs.
    Seems a bit out of character and far-fetched.

    That did seem somewhat strange but
    she is pretty much at the 'who gives a fu<k' stage in life, so why not give it a go?

    Meh. The second episode looks deadly though, going by the trailer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,302 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    I thought that was an excellent first episode of new series, can't wait for rest of the series

    Second episode was excellent!
    It is really hitting the heights of peak the good wife imo.
    Plus love some Judge Abernathy :)

    Fingers crossed for Elsbeth Tascioni in this series


  • Registered Users Posts: 557 ✭✭✭Walter Bishop


    Judge Abernathy is the business, always happy to see him.

    One episode from finishing season 1 and loving it. The writing is just so good (don't care for Maia or her storyline though)

    Mrs John Snow wrecks my head I just don't think she is a good actress and on this show she is surrounded by a lot of really good actors.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,627 ✭✭✭corkie


    I'm getting a strong Jodie Foster vibe from Rose Leslie's performance, especially her portrayal of Clarice from Silence of the Lambs.

    Different opinions on her performance.

    Forgot about it been on More4 tonight.

    I would tend to agree I think she is the weakest link on the show...i think its partially the accent is a bit of a strain...where is with Cush Jumbo the accent isnt a distraction at all (She is from London!)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    I think what Maia has against her is that nearly the entire cast in The Good Fight are known to the audience from The Good Wife, so she's always starting off from an inferior narrative position. If anything, her character suffered from being underwritten (am speaking, having only seen season 1 so far BTW), with everyone, her own parents included, having more development, while she just seemed to orbit around other peoples' lives. She wasn't the only one, as Barbara, a named partner at the firm & you'd have thought a main character, barely ever got a look in


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    She has a perpetual flustered look and never looks confident. I agree the accent is under strain as well. I don't think she's a bad actress or anything; she was perfectly fine in GOT.

    Another good episode, I'm glad the Maia and her Dad story arc isn't the main plot point. Good craic with Diane out of her box.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,302 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    Really solid episode have to agree, I kinda wish I could binge this show all at once!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Another Good Wife character is going to have a guest arc.......
    Lemond Bishop
    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,302 ✭✭✭✭gmisk


    Another really good episode this week - something a bit different following the two stories linking into each other.
    Cush Jumbo and Christine Baranksi in particular were excellent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,875 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Holy fcuk what a great bomb drop by Lucca!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,012 ✭✭✭furiousox

    Fans of the Lethal Weapon Series might recognize her!

    This has gotten so much better now that Maia and her story have been knocked down to a supporting role.

    This week's episode was so good and keeps so many storylines going on and all really strong.

    Lucca & Marissa are awesome.

    And Dinae tripping about Trump having sex every episode is also so good.
