on CBS All Access — has been the one she’s played the longest. And these days, it’s one she relates to on a real-world level.
Much of last season tended to Diane spiraling from the state of affairs living in a Trump world — she was angry, she was frustrated, she was dropping curse words while walking barefoot in the office. When the third season launches March 14 on CBS All Access, Baranski says viewers will find her character more purposeful in the way she manages her feelings.I know! And yet, the character is more energized than ever; this show made this transition for her.
It just so happens that Diane has moved into position as the lead on the show just as the culture is embracing women like Diane Lockhart, who've been around for a long time, have decades of experience, they can go toe-to-toe with the men, and they're wielding power or they're demanding power. It's a great moment for Diane Lockhart to be out in the culture.

It's a statement, it says here I am, in the way that when you open your mouth and speak, the way in which you speak says, this is who I am.
The show is talked about for its prescience and timeliness, tackling subjects in the news. Last season had a couple of #MeToo-themed episodes. How was it, as an employee, to see what unfolded with the allegations against now-fired CBS head Les Moonves?
