If you miss The Good Wife, it's replacement is actually better, IMHO.

The Good Fight.

Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart, is still with us, so is Eli Gold's daughter, the smart and sassy Marissa Gold, and Cush Jumbo as Lucca Quinn.
Same great writing, same great directing, new stories, with same intelligent topics.

Oh, and Elsbeth Tascioni is still there!

top of my list, right along side Billions.

With the AA firm, the ponzi thing. I miss Eli though, he was my favorite character. More swearing too, which is hard to take. I love some of the actors now.

She was hyped about The Good Fight spinoff. When it finally debuted, she tuned in and she loved the pilot. But then the next week it didn't show up in the TV listings. She thought that was odd and looked it up on the Internet and found out it can only be viewed as part of an online subscription to CBS for the monthly fee you mentioned.

She was steamed! She refused to do it. She said we already pay for all the major cable networks and if that's not enough to see then show then to hell with them.

I notice there's a one week free trial so maybe when all of season 1 is available she can time it so that she'll have enough free time to binge watch all of the episodes in a short period.

But it really is a ripoff!
