    The series is agreeable enough, in that it captures some of the spirit of the earlier show, but it’s hard not to hope Julianna Margulies will walk through the door to bring the moral conflicts that made “The Good Wife” so good.

We get it - white people are bad, Republicans are bad, Trump is bad - do we need to make this every episode? The best part of The Good Wife was, although it was about the political in-fighting, it always steered clear of both stereotyping and delving too deep in to ideological battles - the fun was in the battle, and Alicia overcoming obstacles.

The set design is hampered by the lack of budget; it's bleak and colorless, in stark contrast to the expansive richness of "Wife". The difference to the movie-quality production values of "Wife" couldn't sharper. The smoothly confident yet grippingly compelling scene construction that characterized "Wife" is utterly missing. The whole production, from top to bottom, has a slap-dash, phoned-in quality. As if to make up for the all of the gaping deficits, what were once details of background characters, such as alternative and interracial lifestyles, are now shoved prominently into the foreground.
