I’ve been watching The Good Fight (More4, Thurs, 9pm) from the start, and now, four series in, I’ve only just realised it’s one of the best things on TV.

This legal drama – a spin-off from US hit The Good Wife – uses animation, music and dream sequences, breaks the fourth wall, often makes farce out of its most dramatic moments and takes its storylines from the day’s headlines.

All of this could be irritating at best, using tricks to hide deficiencies in the plotting or the performances.
