    There's a looser feel after so much anger and grief; jazzy instrumental music underscores the twisting and turning action. It's top notch TV by directors at the height of their game.

    The CBS drama continues to provide evidence that quality isn’t necessarily defined by blood, guts or exposed flesh. All it really takes is brains--and in this case, you don’t even have to eat them.

    The Good Wife has endured, despite borderline ratings, because it handles the fundamentals so well. It needs to keep doing that.

It's sharp, smart and most importantly, it has stayed stable for most of its run.
