Jason Reed and Marissa Garza work through the entire Robert and Michelle King universe: The Good Wife, Elsbeth, and The Good Fight. One episode at a time, in order, no skipping. The cases, the firm implosions, the Alicia and Diane of it all — plus the details you missed the first time and the ones you only catch on a rewatch.
