In the fifth season of the cult legal drama The Good Fight, Diane (Christine Baranski) questions whether it’s appropriate for her to help run an African American law firm with Liz (Audra McDonald) when the firm loses two top lawyers. Meanwhile, they become entangled with Hal Wackner (Mandy Patinkin, Homeland), a regular Chicagoan who decides to open his own courtroom in the back of a copy shop.
Baranski, McDonald and Patinkin were all nominated for their roles at the 2022 Critics’ Choice Awards, where the show is up for Best Drama.
A much funnier spinoff from The Good Wife, The Good Fight has a 91% critics’ rating for Season 5 on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus says, “The Good Fight’s fifth season continues to confront challenging current events with its singularly absurd style.”
