‘The Good Fight”

As long as you’re feeling stressed why not watch ‘The Good Fight? You’ll still be stressed but you’ll also be laughing!

by Larry Brody

The fourth season of CBS All Access’ biggest hit, and absolutely its best show, The Good Fight began last week, and episode 2 of season 4 will be on tomorrow, Thursday, April 16th.

It’s a wonderfully written series, created by Robert King, Michelle King, and Phil Alden Robinson, and has absolutely the best cast on TV.

Yeah, I know you have to pay for it, but it’s more than worth $5.99 or, if you don’t want to watch commercials – and who does? – $10.99 per month. If you start watching now, you’ll be able to see the first three seasons and at least three of the current season’s delights. read article
