What is the show ‘The Good Fight’ about?
A financial scam destroys the reputation of young lawyer Maia Rindell and wipes out the savings of her mentor. The two are forced out of Lockhart, Deckler, Gussman, Lee, Lyman, Gilbert-Lurie, Kagan, Tannebaum, & Associates and join Diane’s former employee Lucca Quinn at Reddick, Boseman, & Kolstad, a prestigious African American–owned firm making waves by taking on Illinois police brutality cases. In season two, Diane becomes a named partner at the firm, which takes the name Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart.
The show deals primarily with the storylines of its three female leads – Diane, Lucca, and Maia. It contains considerable political and social commentary, exploring topical issues, the Me Too movement, online harassment, and fake news. As well as starting again in a new firm with its own office politics to deal with, longtime Democrat Diane must navigate a world she hardly recognizes, becoming increasingly troubled by Trump-era politics and the actions of his administration. Lucca Quinn, a former employee of Diane’s, has found firm footing at Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart and is a rising star on the partner track, balancing her dedication to her work and a romantic entanglement with US Attorney Colin Morello, a frequent opposing counsel. Meanwhile, Maia is trying to get her legal career off to a good start, while coming under pressure from the FBI over alleged involvement with her father’s Ponzi scheme.
