A family member suggested this program, and since it was available through our subscription service, we began watching. We enjoyed it so much that when our access to The Good Wife ended unexpectedly, we subscribed to CBS All Access instead. We’ve now completed all seven seasons, and while I continued to find it enjoyable, the storylines felt somewhat drawn out for me as time went on. The professional connections between various law firms, or their personal lives, seemed to shift constantly, which reminded me of Friends—it was like the main characters were taking turns dating each other. Another thing that stood out about the plots was the pattern they appeared to adhere to. They incorporated extended storylines, frequently political in nature, that would carry on for entire seasons, alongside individual cases resolved within a single episode. These cases often followed a predictable progression: one side initially succeeding in court, then the opposing side presenting new information to their advantage, and subsequently, the first side—well, you can imagine how it went. I started referring to these as reversals and became so accustomed to them that I anticipated one roughly every ten minutes of each episode. Furthermore, their investigators seemed remarkably adept at uncovering compromising details quickly. It wasn’t necessarily a bad thing; they only had about 40-plus minutes per show and were trying to pack in drama wherever possible. Maybe I just became more aware of it because I write novels myself and spend a lot of time plotting. Despite this, we did watch all seven seasons. I don't think I’ll feel the urge to rewatch them, but I don’t have any regrets about the time invested either. Now, before canceling our CBS All Access subscription, we need to check out the follow-up series, The Good Fight, and a show featuring Alan Cumming that sounds promising: Instinct.
