A Russian student asks Diane to protect her from deportation, claiming she was one of the women filmed with President Trump in the alleged "Golden Shower" tape. Meanwhile, Maia and Lucca suggest an unconventional lawyer to represent Jay's friend Craig Savador at his upcoming appeal and Colin meets with the Cook County Democratic Committee. Margo Martindale, Jane Lynch, Michael Ian Black and Fisher Stevens guest star.
The Good Fight is not an anti-Trump rant. No reasonable person can listen to the constant Trump derangement dialogue and take it seriously. And it certainly doesn't make the Democrats look good with all their underhanded maneuvering, hackneyed rhetoric and melodramatic politics. However, this is Chicago, probably the most entrenched Democrat machine in the country. Even the Republicans are Democrats. An eager-beaver Chicago law firm needs to be aggressively pro-Democrat and pro-local politics, not matter how dystopian that may seem outside of the state of Illinois. Ridley Scott and his cast and crew are taking on the ridiculousness of American politics. And to appreciate this show, one must realize that. The performances are outstanding and the production values are first class. Many actors and artists have set their personal politics aside and are turning in even-handed (yes, fair and balanced) renderings of today's political atmosphere. I hope CBS is planning to keep this show for some time to come.
