The Good Fight season 5 recap
One of the big storylines of The Good Fight season 5 was Hal Wackner (Mandy Patinkin) creating his own court in a back copy room and serving out his own brand of justice. What at first seems like a silly idea latches on and actually helps ferment violence that closely resembled the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. The latter already caused tension throughout the season as Diane’s husband, Kurt (Gary Cole), was under FBI investigation because he had connections to people that took part in the insurrection.
For Diane, after she is tasked with leading Reddick Lockhard following the departure of Adrian Boseman (Delroy Lindo), the problems that arise from having a white woman lead a historically black firm lead her to stepping down and becoming an equity partner.
