The Good Wife Spin Off

Contains spoilers, click to show

The Good Fight is a spin off to the hugely successful The Good Wife but it doesn't spend much time living in its shadow and proves almost straight away that it can carry its own weight.

After her close friends are accused of organising a huge financial scam, Diane - who invested her money with them - finds herself unable to retire and forced to jump ship to another law firm. She joins the fabulous Luca and brings along her god daughter (whose parents were responsible for the scam) and together they ride out the scandal. Eli's daughter, Marissa also makes a return and it's great to see her in a more permanent role than she had in The Good Wife.

The drama is reminiscent of Good Wife at its best but it brings its own identity. While you can guess what's going to happen a few episodes ahead it doesn't spoil it too much because the performance put in by the cast is brilliant.

Noble Britton had suffered greatly at the hands of his first wife, and he refused to fall into the same trap again. This time he intended to marry a quiet, biddable woman who would not draw attention to herself or cause scandal. Gillian Leigh's honest manner and spontaneous laughter attracted him immediately. It mattered little that she was accident-prone; he could provide the structure necessary to guide her.

But unconventional to the tips of her half-American toes―toes that one of them was constantly tripping over―his new bride turned the tables on him, wreaking havoc on his orderly life. And worse, demanding he surrender his heart. Perpetually one step behind his beguiling spouse, Noble suffered a banged-up head, a black eye, and a broken nose before he realized Gillian had healed his soul and proved that their union was no heedless tumble, but the swoon of true love.

I love Katie Macalister her books always manage to make me laugh. This was no different I thought Gillian's character was just brilliant she was so normal! The words just flowed I laughed a few times at her antics and conversations with Charlotte. Definitely worth a read.
