Thanks for the promo

I don't think Elsbeth's whole character is fake/just an act. I think she's really as weird as we see her. That said, you're correct (imo) if you meant that she's aware of her own character, so she can 'use' it, so that people won't see her as a threat at first. I think MIke thought she was harmless and just a weirdo. I love her unique way of thinking and seeing the world.

[ERussia]

I was always waiting for them to expose it's just an act in TGW, but she is kinda "too much" on this show even just after one episode, I'm even more sure it is.
I understand she supposedely has illness, but this is what I think... Her befriending his wife and going to his home was a little bit too calculated, IMO.

[Alwayshappy]

That's what I meant. I am sure she's aware of her ''strange'' (hey, who is normal? ) characteristics, and I'm sure she uses it to throw people off. She is calculated, she has brains, but at the same time her character isn't really an act imo. She's really that odd, she just uses it to look ''weird'', so people underestimate her but it's not a complete act, she's just playing her true character. God, I suck at explaning her character through my eyes

Anyway, I love her

Yeah, that's my take on this too. She's both weird and clever. I love her, there's noone like her and can't wait to see how she's gonna deal with Cresteva. That guy is horrible, well all pathological liars are.

[ERussia]

This is what they show: She is weird and clever. But, I always thought that her being weird is her acting for some reason. Like it's safer this way. IDK, how to explain it.

You're explaining yourself very well, I can see how you see it

[Gelfling]

I think that's what makes Elsbeth so interesting (and clearly it's all on Carrie Preston for making her so flaky in her first episode). She's always so straight forward and friendly, at least on the surface, that you never know when she's plotting something.

I'm really happy she's back on TGF. I was hoping she'd be a regular but I'm fine with recurring. Honestly, I'd pay to see a Patti Nyholm/Elsbeth parntership

And on the topic of Elsbeth, interesting interview with Carrie Preston.

EXCLUSIVE: Why Carrie Preston Was 'Concerned' Elsbeth Didn't Fit in on 'The Good Fight'

“You sometimes don’t know if she’s manipulating someone or not,” Preston said of Elsbeth.

exactly!

I know, right? The level of manipulation would be too much to take. I'd also love to see them work together because they seem polar opposites in their personalities and their methods but there's more than meets the eye with both of them.

Have you seen last episodes? How do you like them?

I'm still not convinced by Lucca. I wish they would give her more personality and I was hoping TGF would do that since TGW didn't care. Somehow there's more to Maia in just a few episodes than there's been to Lucca.

The cases are like in TGW, a bit of a hit and miss but I like the characters and I like the interaction between them.

Is it possible we have seen more Diane in 5 episodes of TGF than in the past two seasons of TGW?

I'm not looking forward to the SVU thing but then that's no shocker since anything Trump related makes me sick to my stomach but I thought the one before that about the embryos was very interesting, although not exactly original.

[ERussia]

So how many episodes you watched? 4 or 5? 5th one was about SVU episode. It was very good, imo. I liked how they showed a bad side of firm

Spoiler:

when they only won the case because of potential chumhum contract.

The 6th episode is about some racist guy Milo something.

So how many episodes you watched? 4 or 5?

Only 4. I'm going to watch 5 this weekend, just to be able to push through to the next one

I liked how they showed a bad side of firm

I'm looking forward to that. It was missing in TGW

The 6th episode is about some racist guy Milo something.

Ugh. I get they want to rip headlines but must it only be about the a-holes who are already plaguing our lives?
