Outstanding Premiere
9 April 2020
The Good Fight came back with a bang -- I loved the premiere. It's probably one of the top 5 best Diane-centric episodes ever, but I can see it being controversial and divisive. It's very high concept like "Mind's Eye" from Wife, with the political spin of Fight season 3.

They made me hate the cliffhanger from season 3 a lot less with how they resolved it. The script is flawless; Brooke Kennedy's directing, which is usually hit or miss, is perfectly on key; and it's one of Christine Baranski's very best acting showcases from all 11 seasons.

"The Gang Deals with an Alternate Reality" is clever, poignant, and funny. It's hard to imagine they will be able to top this in the rest of season four. It reminds me of the type of outstanding quality they achieved in the pilot, "Inauguration."
