The third season of The Good Wife spin-off, a legal drama set in a firm that specializes in civil rights cases, continues to mine a vein of political satire that pokes fun at both the political and social culture in the era of Trump and the exasperation of the show’s liberal characters. The series features a cast of strong women figures, led by Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart, who pushes her own ethical boundaries to the limit when she joins a radical activist group and brings fellow partner Liz Reddick-Lawrence (Audra McDonald) with her. Cush Jumbo costars as Lucca, who is now a single mother (the baby's father is a congressman in Washington D.C.) juggling career and parenthood. New this season is Michael Sheen as the unprincipled, proudly corrupt lawyer Roland Blum, who gets Maia (Rose Leslie) fired from her own firm and then hires her to work for him, inspiring her to become a shark in his image. The series has a distinctly liberal take as it continues to address issues of race and discrimination as well as sexual misconduct, even as the firm finds itself fighting for its continued existence. Compiling all 10 episodes from the 2019 third season, extras include deleted scenes and a gag reel. Recommended. (S. Axmaker)
