Podcast appearances and mentions of Diane Lockhart

Un an après le final de The Good Wife, Diane Lockhart réalise que toutes ses économies sont parties en fumée à la suite d'une fraude financière élaborée par un ami de longue date. De peur que son amitié avec un criminel ne nuise à la réputation du cabinet Lockhart & Lee, elle est poussée vers la sortie dès le premier épisode de The Good Fight. On la voit dès lors rejoindre Luca Quinn chez Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad, des avocats spécialisés dans les cas de violences policières. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38hG2Xu43iQ The Good Fight : une série dérivée qui a réussi à avoir sa propre identité Si The Good Wife avait quelque peu perdu de sa superbe lors de ses deux dernières saisons, elle reste globalement une série d'excellente facture qui a permis notamment de mettre en lumière le style des époux Robert et Michelle King. Un mélange subtil de drame intense et de situations incongrues saupoudré de dialogues cuisinés aux petits oignons qui fait mouche à chaque fois. Une recette gagnante que l'on a retrouvée par la suite dans Evil (dont la quatrième et dernière saison vient de se terminer) et The Good Fight donc, série dérivée des aventures d'Alicia Florrick, diffusée entre 2017 et 2022. Mené par une Christine Baranski en grande forme, ce spin-off, intégré au catalogue de M6+, réussit là où bon nombre ont échoué : à exister par lui-même, sans renier ses origines. Ainsi, on retrouve des personnages qui ont, comme Diane Lockhart, fait la traversée entre les deux mondes : Luca Quinn (Cush Jumbo), Marisa Gold (l'excellente Sarah Steele), Julius Cain (Michael Boatman), Elsbeth Tascioni (Carrie Preston, désormais à la tête de son propre spin-off, Elsbeth, également créé par les King) ou encore le caillou le plus confortablement installé dans la chaussure de Diane : David Lee (Zach Grenier). Rien n'a été changé quant à leurs caractéristiques originelles, mais chacun trouve une place unique dans l'univers de The Good Fight. Et si le spin-off est parvenu à se forger une identité propre, c'est qu'il a insufflé dans ses intrigues des nouveaux reliefs scénaristiques : raciaux tout d'abord. Le cabinet Reddick, Boseman & Kolstad est spécialisé dans les cas de violences policières et, de manière plus générale, se concentre sur les préjudices liés à la couleur de la peau. Familiaux aussi, avec une plongée dans la vie maritale de Diane et de Kurt (Gary Cole), entre son profond amour pour lui et leurs divergences profondes, ou encore l'arrivée de Liz Reddick (Audra McDonald) ex-femme d'Adrian Boseman (Delroy Lindo) qui atterrit au cabinet suite au décès de son père, l'un des membres fondateurs. Un pedigree qui va causer une dissonance assourdissante entre le poids qu'elle pensait avoir et la réalité des faits. Politiques enfin (et surtout !) avec notamment un épisode particulièrement malin qui nous dépeint une réalité alternative dans laquelle Hillary Clinton a été élue présidente des États-Unis. Une série intelligente qui entérine le talent des King grâce à des personnages marquants et marqués, des affaires prenantes et une intégration constante de l'actualité. [bs_show url="the-good-fight"] L'intégrale des six saisons de The Good Fight, soit 60 épisodes, est à retrouver sur M6+.

Welcome to the Munsons at the Movies podcast. Each episode we delve into the filmography and impact of a randomly selected actor. In this episode, we explore the career of Christine Baranski. Best known for her roles as Tanya in the Mamma Mia! films, Martha May Whovier in How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), and Diane Lockhart in the Good Wife/Fight (2009-2022), Baranski has built a successful career on screen and on the stage. Joined once again by Krystal Clark, we discuss her stage acting roots inspired by her Polish grandparents, her transformation as a blue collar Buffalo native to a notoriously pompous character on-screen, contemplate what white people do on private islands, and marvel at how she classes up the joint on every one of her projects. How does she rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.

This week we finally discuss our all time favorite legal drama The Good Fight (Paramount+) whose sixth and final season aired last November. A spinoff of the long running legal/political Drama The Good Wife (CBS), the show follows Diane Lockhart (played by the wonderful Christine Baranski) as she transitions into working for a prestigious and Black owned law firm alongside her friend and colleague Liz Reddick (played by the glorious Aurdra McDonald). We discuss the ways in which this overtly political show defied and pushed the boundaries of genre, and with great creativity, used its extremely current storylines and plots to make incisive, sometimes controversial, but always appropriately complex social commentary - including on realities as big and thorny as the rise in white supremacy. In this episode we make the bold claim "If TV could save lives, The Good Fight would" - we love this show that much and we hope you enjoy the episode. Music: Humblux - S.H.E.

Con "L'Unico  Occhio dell'Uomo" tenterò di esporre, in modo più o meno interessante, le serie TV che considero meritevoli di attenzione e di una visione meno superficiale. O almeno posso provarci. Sotto il cielo di una grigia Chicago, c'è un mondo tutto da scoprire. Un Mondo popolato da uomini, donne e avvocati. Dopo il grande successo di "The Good Wife", i colleghi e coniugi Michelle e Robert King tornano nel mondo di Alicia Florrick con uno spin-off temeraria, ancora più critico rispetto alla serie madre e deliziosamente grottesco. Uno show deciso a raccontare tutte le contraddizioni, le ipocrisie e i mali dell'America contemporanea (se non del mondo). E i King decidono di narrare ciò attraverso gli occhi di Diane Lockhart, donna decisa a lottare con le unghie e con i denti per una giusta causa. Ecco a voi "The Good Fight".

Christine Baranski was a successful theatre actor who would never stoop to do television in the old days. But when she got the pilot script for “Cybill,” and had two daughters to put through school, she took the role of Marianne, the tough-talking best friend of Cybill Shepherd’s character. “Who goes to Hollywood at forty-two and becomes an overnight star?” Baranski asks the critic Emily Nussbaum. What made her such a sensation? “No one had seen that woman on American television” before, she notes, of her character, a badass with a Martini and an attitude. “Sex and the City” came later. Playing strong women seems to come naturally to Baranski; since 2009, she’s portrayed the capable, elegant Diane Lockhart, in “The Good Wife” and then “The Good Fight.” She talked with Nussbaum in a live conversation at the 2018 New Yorker Festival. Plus, Amanda Petrusich talks with the musician Kurt Vile, who performs his song “Pretty Pimpin” live.

And being great at lawyering has absolutely nothing to do with how attractive you are, thank goodness. TV’s Clair Huxtable and Diane Lockhart may make the gig appear effortless, but today, we shout, “All rise!” for the real-life lady lawyers who discern some serious legalese in order to be our voice in the courtroom.
