The Good Fight - Season 3 UK pace *edited by MNHQ at OP's request*

It's back on More4 end of March/ beginning of April. And we're in for a treat, Michael Sheen is playing what appears to be a bit of a reckless lawyer. I've been in love with Michael Sheen since he played Lucian in Underworld (phwooaarrr). Admittedly he's been in some dodgy films since then but all is forgiven as far as I'm concerned.

More plot information and a trailer is here:

Not keen on the Michael Sheen character either. Can't see why Maia is hanging around with him.

poorbuthappy · 10/04/2019 11:58

I'm struggling a little bit with the song interludes...I'm not quite sure what they are trying to add to it....

StarlingsEverywhere · 10/04/2019 11:59

I enjoyed the song/animation thing last week but I don't want it to become a regular thing. It's fine for me as an amusing novelty.

RosaWaiting · 10/04/2019 14:58

I like the songs but I don't think they should be a weekly feature

they were fun in the Good Wife because they were only done when it was a really good one. I suspect there's been a contract signed for it though...

JessicaPeach · 10/04/2019 21:15

I find Maia's voice really distracting. CLEAR YOUR THROAT

TheweewitchRoz · 10/04/2019 21:19

Me too @JessicaPeach - what's her actual accent sound like?

StarlingsEverywhere · 11/04/2019 07:47

She's the daughter of a Scottish laird, so I imagine quite posh! I don't think I've ever heard her real accent.

MrsSlocombesPussy · 11/04/2019 08:17

Yes, Gary Cole is hot. I remember him in American Gothic when he played the evil sheriff

Italiangreyhound · 14/04/2019 00:09

JessicaPeach "I've seen the first 2 episodes (us pace) and I don't think I like it anymore! I prefer the good wife type format. I find the good fight format a bit weird, too fast paced but a bit pointless and lots of weird interludes!"

Totally agree, I am working my way through episode 3 and it's utter shit.

What a shame, it was so good.

Would you really go to some odd little meeting in a church crypt? No.

Would you drive a nut job around and let him stick suppositories up his arse and lie in court and give you drugs to carry around? No.

And the songs!!

Yikes, I am so disappointed.

Who remembers the episode with the missing paperclip! It was about admin and it beats this hands down and twice on Sundays.

Italiangreyhound · 14/04/2019 00:11

Michael Sheen seems to be playing an up-shite version of Jonah Stern!

GreyBasket · 14/04/2019 15:47

I like it! I really enjoyed the last episode. Go Mia! (Hopefully not to prison)

fascicle · 14/04/2019 18:20

Loved Michael Sheen's grotesque character (reminded me in a small way of Colin Sweeney). The programme is upping its surrealism but I can go with that.

TheweewitchRoz · 18/04/2019 23:31

Fingers crossed that's the end of Maia as she really annoys me but I somehow doubt it!

TheFirstOHN · 18/04/2019 23:36

I thought that both Lucca and Marisa were very good in this episode.

TheweewitchRoz · 18/04/2019 23:50

Agreed although I love both of them anyway.

I was surprised by the reaction to Luca's video - how was anyone annoyed by Luca rather than by the woman who called the police? Surely she was being completely racist but that wasn't mentioned at all & that seems strange given the whole tone of the episode Confused

TheFirstOHN · 19/04/2019 00:05

I was surprised by the reaction to Luca's video
She became a target for far right racists. They were indulging in a knee-jerk reaction ("She swore!" "She had mentioned drugs!") not the reasoned response of someone using critical thinking skills.

TheweewitchRoz · 19/04/2019 00:14

I get that for the hate emails but not from the partners in the law firm - why didn't they advise her to sue the police for their treatment of her?

Invisibleiink · 19/04/2019 09:01

I wonder if this means Maia will have to go and work with Michael Sheen now?

Diane and Liz choosing to continue to work with that group despite their methods - not impressed!

Do we think Julius has lost his chance of the federal judge appointment? It didn't look as though the panel were bluffing.

RosaWaiting · 19/04/2019 09:20

did I miss an episode or are people talking US pace now?

please please can we stick to UK.

Invisibleiink · 19/04/2019 09:24

I'm UK only - so talking about last night's episode? I think the last few posts are as well?

(Fully sympathise with your not wanting spoilers though! - don't even like it when people refer to trailers, RT write ups or IMDB cast lists fot the next episode, so I am completely onboard with wanting to stick to UK pace!)

RosaWaiting · 19/04/2019 09:26

oh sorry, I forgot it was on last night, had a bit of a crap day!! Ignore me Blush

GFgertie · 19/04/2019 09:27

Definitely UK. Did you see the episode last night?

This series is disappointing me so far.

FentonForChristsakeFenton · 19/04/2019 09:34

I haven’t watched last night’s yet but I am really getting fed up with this series. I LOVED the Good Wife (apart from the crap ending) but this is getting increasingly out there. Don’t like the drugs stuff, the songs are irritating, Michael Sheen’s character is ludicrous. There’s no humour, hardly any decent court scenes. The only characters I like are Marisa and Luca. Such a shame Sad

TheweewitchRoz · 19/04/2019 11:50

Totally agree @FentonForChristsakeFenton Although I'll likely still watch it!

Italiangreyhound · 19/04/2019 19:24

FentonForChristsakeFenton

In the words of mumsnet 'I could have written your post'!!!

Totally agree.

I think Luca's bsby and the father (of baby) is missing - we need s will they don't they for them!
