Season 1 was pretty good, they said it was written by the same people who wrote The Good Wife.
I thought the Maia Rindell story line dragged out too far, tho.
Season 2 started out well, had some nice anti-trump bits. then things got weird with Dianne story lines,
and the F-word showed up, apparently to stay, because last night was just offensive, in the hospital scenes where all characters are running around yelling obscenities as a group. The supposed joke might have looked good when written, the execution was not.
Margo Martindale showed up to do one short scene, even she sounded a bit flat and forced in her lines.
The Good Fight has jumped the shark.

Ironically, this news is on "my" weather site, Accuweather, which says they use local data so are not affected by the outage.
Which is very funny, considering their reports have been miles off of reality. They have been announcing imminent rain for our area for 24 hours, their radar shows the rain in our area,
but
dry as a bone all day and most of the night. Which happens very frequently.
National Weather Service experiences significant data outage
as Alberto targets US Gulf Coast.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is experiencing a major outage in data communications. The issue started on Sunday evening and has not been resolved as of Monday morning.
A statement from the NWS early on Monday morning stated that technical support is actively engaged in resolving the situation.

Won't surprise you to know it was, as usual, screamingly tone deaf.

Anyone who is still asking "Is it fascism yet?", is not paying attention.
According to the UN Trump's disappearing of children is genocide.
And this needs to be known everywhere.
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
