‘Good Fight’ takes television lead in making Trump an issue
LOS ANGELES — A CBS-produced legal drama has taken the lead in weaving President Donald Trump into its stories, and it keeps raising the stakes.
In last month’s debut of “The Good Fight,” ”The Good Wife” spinoff on CBS’ streaming service, lawyer and Hillary Clinton supporter Diane Lockhart (Christine Baranksi) watched and cringed as Trump was sworn into office.
In another episode, a member of the drama’s nearly all-black law firm tells his boss he voted for Trump and is scorned by his colleagues.
On Sunday, “The Good Fight” takes on CBS competitor NBC over its delays in airing a drama with allusions to Trump. His new administration again comes in for jabs as well, setting a pattern for “The Good Fight.”
