    The winsome, witty season 7 premiere proved anew that that unlike Eli, it doesn’t resent the challenge of proving itself; it thrives on it. Yes, the show is repeating itself. Once again with an election. Once again with launching a new practice. Once again with the Alicia/Peter happy marriage fakery. Yet there’s meaning in those narratives and repeating those narratives.

    The show tries to keep up with the goings-on at Lockhart/Agos, but these stories are awkwardly untethered from the main Alicia plot in the first two episodes of the new season.

There's no character development, the episodes are stuck on the same tired loop of ludicrous trying-to-be humorous cases. Alicia is stuck, the possibility of her joining forces with Canning was an interesting idea that disappeared, along with her sitting on that 5 men panel that had potential for dramatic conflict. What a lazy excuse for a show this has turned out. Julianna Margulies deserves better.… Full Review »

This is a great show. Even with the different career changes Alicia Florak has made hasn’t lowered the quality of “The Good Wife”. Now that Alicia is her own boss gives the show’s writers even more material to use.… Full Review »
