While it zips along at a good pace and is an improvement on The Good Wife, the portrayal of court scenes leaves a lot to be desired. Lawyers interrupting each other in mid-sentence would just not be tolerated in a real courtroom and interrupting a judge would surely risk being locked up for contempt.
I watched Episode 5 yesterday and had to stop because of this. The Good Fight is not the only one that has such nonsense in it but it seems to be taking it to a higher level. Most TV drama including court scenes showing such behaviour. I'd like to know why because shouldn't the drama be in the actual fictional case? Law and Order gets part of the way there and The Wire gets all the way there.
