'The Good Fight' Is Finally Back For Season 2
CBS

CBS's "The Good Fight" is finally back for another compelling season. Starring Christine Baranski and Game of Thrones's Rose Leslie, the intense legal drama is jumpstarting season two by tackling a variety of hot-button political and social issues, including consent, legal defense for the incarcerated, and the #MeToo movement, among others.

Centered around an accredited and renown legal firm, renamed Reddick, Boseman, & Lockhardt, "The Good Fight" enmeshes political and social commentary into its main plot and subplots, entangling certain aspect of American political reality into the show's fictionalized world. In other words, the show does not shy away from mentioning President Trump and his policies, comments, and tweets, often satirizing the already unorthodox remarks he makes on Twitter and in public.

Of course, for previous viewers, the show picks up where it left off, in the midst of bright new attorney Maia Rindell's legal troubles. Still entangled in the aftermath of her father's financial schemes, Maia deals with betrayal and deceit, all the while fighting to clear her name from the investigation. With her mother in jail and her dad missing, Maia only has her lawyer and friend, Lucca, to help her. As Maia struggles to track down her dad to hand him over to the police, an array of lies and secrets obstruct both her judgment and her heart.

What is perhaps most surprising and noteworthy is the show's addition of a new subplot, which focuses on the sudden and terrifying murders of lawyers all across Chicago by presumably former clients. It's unclear if all the murders and targets are connected, but no law firm or lawyer is immune. Meanwhile, Marissa Gold is finally getting to work as a private investigator, in addition to being Diane's assistant.

Of course, many are other revelations come to light as the season unfolds, but if you want to know more, I highly recommend watching the show.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
