Eli's Gold
safenoe25 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I've been a fan of The Good Fight from the start, not having watched The Good Wife so much. It's amazing (and not in a really good way) seeing the evolution of The Good Fight from the first season to its sixth and final season. I must admit, season five was very woeful with the faux judge played by Mandy Patinkin, and season six tries to bring things back on track. Or does it?

Great to see The Good Fight's Eli Gold back. Eli is played by Scottish thespian Alan Cumming, who does an impressive job playing an attorney who is American. But why can't Julianna Margulies return please? That would be incredibly worthwhile for a season six that is rather limp.

What an intense and foreshadowing episode
SallyWilliams30 September 2022
This series was always political and therefor critisised by some viewers who thought, this is simply propaganda & fake news. What they are presenting is the looming threat of the end of democracy in the US. The presentation is excellent, the actors are all incredible and the directing has never been better in The Good Fight. You can feel the growing fear among people who aren't white and christian (whatever that means to people who spread so much hate, certainly not what Jesus was about). The contrast to that is Diane's storyline, who found an emotional escape from all that. Before, she deeply suffered from it, but now found her inner peace. That's really great storytelling and Christine Baransky nailed the performance... again !

Eli Gold (Alan Cumming) is Love!!!!
tanzimkh5 October 2022
Loved every bit of this episode. What was missing in this episode?? The excitement, the drama, the intensity; at one point it was so hard to guess what was going to happen in the next scene.

Eli Gold and Marissa Gold are two spectacular character that just elevates the humor and excitement of this show. Well, the show is on its 6th season, and 3 of the major characters left the show, but yet, this show is going so strong. Most spin-off show losses its appeal after 1/2 seasons. But this show is stuck to its roots and making it so successful.

All I want is to see more episode involving Eli Gold. Alicia Florrick's guest appearance would be a cherry on the top.

Profound and Riveting Episode
ja43-964-1637602 October 2022
So well written , directed and acted. A profound important and scary existed everyone needs to see. Superb program that is going for the jugular this year. The intensity never let up, and the end goal of keeping up "the good right" to save our country was brought to the fore. This program hits a nerve every time but tonight.... Just wow. Alan Cumming and Sarah Steale were magnificent. And the storyline involving why the new partner is there was spot on. Rhianuear rhe show is meant as a am warning, and no punches are being pulled. We need more of this, and docent there are many more episodes I think we will get it. Bravo to all involved.

This just dragged and dragged and dragged. The show is full of good actors and they do have some intriguing storylines going on, but this did not deliver.

Killing off a minor character in a gruesome fashion is not exactly shocking or compelling in the year 2022.

I don't know what they are doing with Diane at all either. She deserves a much better final arc than we are getting from her, and deserves something of substance within the framework of the show.

Really the only strong takeaway tonight is that Andre Braugher continues to bring life to the show. Even with weak material the character is great.
