Q: What has happened to "The Good Fight"?
Not to worry, "The Good Fight" is just on a break between seasons and should be back for more (though we don't know when). But that only tells part of the story.
If you're watching it on regular television, you just saw the end of its first season at the beginning of August on CBS. But it's actually aired three seasons already on CBS's web-based streaming service, CBS All Access. It premiered online in 2017, two years before CBS moved it to traditional TV.

Spider-Man: Far From Home
Eight months after "The Blip," the Midtown School of Science and Technology organizes a two-week field trip to Europe, where Peter Parker (Holland), still troubled by the loss of his mentor, Tony Stark, plans to reveal his feelings for MJ (Zendaya). While on the field trip, the Water Elemental reveals itself and wreaks havoc in Venice, Italy, but is ultimately thwarted by Mysterio, a.k.a. Quentin Beck (Gyllenhaal). Avoiding Nick Fury (Jackson) and his duties as Spider-Man, Peter opts to rejoin his class on their trip and insists that Quentin become Iron Man's successor.
