Wackner is out of control. There's no way around it.
Not only is he still illegally imprisoning people, but now he's letting a focus group's opinions dictate his behavior in court on The Good Fight Season 5 Episode 8.
Since this is a legal drama, there's no chance of someone "taking care" of Wackner, but he does need to be stopped -- preferably in a non-violent way.
Ever since being sentenced to actual jail on The Good Fight Season 5 Episode 1, Julius has been put through the wringer.
To say he has been having a bad run of it would be putting it lightly, and things went from bad to worse to worst 40 minutes.
He parked his car in a purple zone and then wound up in jail for an undisclosed amount of time. Worst day(s) ever.
Julius can't seem to catch a break. All he wants is respect and to venture out on his own,...

“The Good Fight” doesn’t reflect reality so much as has one foot just beyond it on either side. Since its debut in 2017, it’s taken slices of headline fodder and put them in a TV context, reconfiguring and prodding at them under the guise of a fascinating legal drama. A few of the faces from the opening season cast photos have gone. The White House intrigue that generated the current underneath so much of its early seasons has since faded somewhat, but not entirely.
Despite those changes (and in the midst of tumult inside the world of the show and the one of the people watching it), “The Good Fight” comes back for Season 5 on Paramount+ with a renewed sense of purpose, as focused as it’s ever been.

Maintaining its tradition for delivering bonkers opening episodes, The Good Fight kicked off Season 5 on Thursday (in its new Paramount+ home) with a change-of-pace installment that basically crammed a year’s worth of story into one hour.
To be fair, series creators Robert and Michelle King entered Year 5 with a formidable to-do list that included tying up loose ends from an abbreviated-by-covid fourth season, writing out original cast members Cush Jumbo (Lucca) and Delroy Lindo (Adrian), and acknowledging the game-changing events of the past 15 months (the aforementioned pandemic, the murder of George Floyd, President Trump’s ugly White House exit,...

Almost ten years ago, Michael J. Fox made his first of many celebrated appearances on the CBS Emmy-winning legal drama “The Good Wife” playing lawyer Louis Canning, who notoriously garners sympathy with judges and juries with his disarming sense of humor about his neurological condition. Now, a decade later, Fox returns to the role in the fourth season of the critically-acclaimed “Wife” spinoff “The Good Fight,” rematching legal wits with Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranski) and reintroducing audiences to an unscrupulous character who fans love to loathe.
In the episode “The Gang Tries to Serve a Subpoena,” Fox’s Canning squares off against Baranski’s Lockhart in a straightforward eminent domain case, but progress stalls when Canning tells newly-minted judge Julius Cain (Michael Boatman) that his client refuses to comply with the court’s subpoena. Fox plays his scenes with a thin air of deference, lending a friendly face to his...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “The Gang Discovers Who Killed Jeffrey Epstein,” the fourth season finale of “The Good Fight.”
“The Good Fight” began airing its fourth season on CBS All Access just a few weeks after the real world had gone on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. Co-creators and co-showrunners Robert and Michelle King had spent painstaking months preparing a specifically arced out season that started with a thought experiment of a world in which Hillary Clinton had become president in 2016, included the central law firm of Reddick, Boseman & Lockhart adjusting to life under new managers Str Laurie and concluded with that law firm trying to buy its way out from under that rule, not to mention being hired to investigate whether Jeffrey Epstein’s jail cell death was a murder or a suicide.
“Even though it’s not the way we hoped to end the season,...

The premiere episode of the fourth season of the CBS All Access show “The Good Fight” kicked off with a smartly done stand-alone alternate-universe episode that imagines what would have happened if Hillary Clinton had been president as experienced by star Christine Baranski‘s lawyer Diane Lockhart. Its signature opening credits visual that depicts wine bottles explode and fine china teapots shatter was rewound into reverse.

Christine Baranski “knows how to nail a closeup,” remarks Baranski’s “The Good Fight” costar Sarah Steele in CBS Television Studios’ Emmy Fyc video (watch above). The two-minute clip package reminds Emmy voters of some of Baranski’s greatest moments from “The Good Fight” Season 2 while intermixing accolades from her cast. “She’s also hilariously funny,” continues Steele, who plays fan-favorite assistant Marissa Gold.

Shockingly, Baranski hasn’t won an Emmy Award in over two decades since prevailing for “Cybill” in 1995 as Best Comedy Supporting Actress. This year she contends for the second time as Best Drama Actress for CBS All Access’s “The Good Fight,” a spinoff of “The Good Wife” that brings her poised and confident lawyer character Diane Lockhart front and center. Baranski previously earned Emmy bids for the first six seasons of the original CBS drama,...

A key player appears to be bowing out of The Good Fight. Although a rep for the CBS All Access drama declined to comment, TVLine has learned that original cast member Justin Bartha is not expected to return for the already-ordered Season 3 — at least not as a series regular.
The Good Wife spinoff’s Season 2 finale certainly laid the groundwork for a potential Bartha exit. Not only did his character Colin’s relationship with Cush Jumbo’s Lucca all but end, the legal eagle had already relocated to Washington, D.C. However, the fact that Colin and Lucca now have a child together — son,...
