maybe it has already been discussed - but how come Jamie didn't really age a bit? and Claire in the past looked decidedly younger than in the present. perhaps, it's the hair. I don't remember the first season - but is Claire supposed to be older than Jamie or about the same age? the actress definitely looks older.

Do all British series have such short seasons? 6 episodes roll by far too quickly. Will there be a Christmas special this year, I wonder. I do wish they'd focus more on crime-solving, like they did in season 1 (and even season two was better in this respect). Right now it is treated more like an afterthought - something they want to wrap up quickly. The show dwells too much on relationships and other soap oper-y moments. Pity, really. I originally started watching for James Norton, but right now my favorite character is Leonard, by far))))). I would love to see this character develop further. And it would be great if Amanda relocated.

It'd be a pity if the summary put you off! It's still quality entertainment - nice way to pass an evening. James Norton is as delectable as ever. Robson Green is great too. In the last episode the actor who played Wickham in the classic Pride and Prejudice made am appearance. The guy has not aged well! It will be interesting to see where they go with Sidney.

Would like to discuss season three here. Any thoughts? Overall, the season seems darker than the first two. Sidney having the crisis of faith, Geordie cheating on Cathy, Leonard trying (unsuccessfully) to go against his nature and marry - it's all rather gloomy. And the cases are really sombre, too. Also it seems that there are very close parallels between the case-of-the-week and protagonists' personal stories. Didn't notice it that much in the first seasons. It is curious where they are going with the introduction of Mrs M's estranged husband. And I'm not sure I like Amanda and her story - it's boring

For me Danny and Sophie were the most boring. And Justine with Ben somewhere close. Would have loved a spin-off with Margot. Some Ethan would also be nice. He was more of a plot device this season

they should've ended the season with a shot of Ethan and Alice walking away from the plane and one of them saying 'I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship' ))))

pity the show got cancelled. it was not perfect, but entertaining enough. and the second season was way better than the first.

The criticism for most part is not about the death per se but about the way it was handled - gratuitously. Quinn's death and the whole episode could have been cathartic, but they were not - because of haphazard and all-over-the-place writing for most of the season. Probably because the writers are nowhere near Tolstoy. Or Shakespeare.

absolutely! Peter Krause has a very limited range of facial expressions. it's so annoying. he is easily one of the most boring characters on the show. He and Danny. Tessa is a fun addition but she looks so much older than a 15-year old.

Heavy-duty plot armor. Mandy is one of the producers of the show. Enough said. We are all just supposed to completely suspend our disbelief and rejoice that Carrie and Saul will be able to 'further explore their mentor - mentee relationship'.

If the writers go with the plan they've announced - take the next two seasons overseas and have Carrie back at the CIA, it might mean less Frannie. Although seeing that there is still somebody Carrie cares about besides herself is not bad. Hopefully, Max will receive a more prominent storyline next season. Preferably, staying away from Carrie. And I wouldn't mind Rupert in flashbacks / dream sequences (the one with Brody in season 4 was good)

Goes to prove how well-liked the character was from the very beginning. And considering the writers didn't really have any specific plans/story arc mapped out when they got Rupert to join the cast, it is all due to Rupert's terrific performance and dedication to the character. He definitely deserves an Emmy. Although perhaps putting him up as a Supporting actor would be a safer bet. I wonder who he will be up against as Lead actor

Hope they fix the issue soon. Read your fanfic on 6.12 - that's precisely what the writers should have done with the episode to give Quinn (and us) closure! Thank you!

I am not sure how sequels/spin-offs should be made but this feels distinctly like Good Wife 2.0 - rehashing the same scenes / characters / antics / mannerisms. same old, same old. it's entertaining, sure, but somewhat lacking. In The Good Wife all storylines were anchored around Alicia, and even though she became truly unlikeable in the later seasons, there was a sense of coherence and purpose. I don't see it in The Good Fight - it's so disjointed and all over the place. Maia's storyline is very loosely connected (if at all) to the cases-of-the-week. It's annoying. and Maia is not strong enough to carry the show like Alicia did. bottom line: less Maia, more Diane. the show should stop building on The Good Wife and venture into some new territory.

really like your LJ! thanks for the effort. but for some reason the pics in some posts are gone. are there some regional restrictions on viewing them?
