barberic-695-574135 Based on Series 1 we gave it a 7, just ordered Series 2 and will update the review accordingly. This is one of those box sets you can keep in reserve for those times when you have nothing new to watch. Each episode is it´s own mini story with an underlying story threaded through the overall story. To be fair, some episodes are better than others, however they are all watchable. There is nothing stunning about this series, nothing that will excite you or keep you on the edge of your seat or move your emotions. We await Series 2.

luis-sg-535-98828 I can only think of worse show ending: Dexter. The Good Wife's would be number #2. And don't get me wrong, I don't always expect happy endings. But I do expect closure, and this show became a mess after a main character left. I think the audience deserved more after so many years...So if you haven't seen the last episode, just don't. It will ruin the whole story for you. Just imagine a fair ending in your head and stay with it.I loved the show, I really hated the ending. I kept watching the boring last two seasons to get closure, and I didn't get any. I regret having seen it.

Carma Simonsen I recently started "binge-watching" this series, so my views are different from viewers who have watched the show on a weekly basis, and I am going to do all I can to avoid spoilers.While this show has a great cast of actors and a slew of interesting characters, there are too many episodes that rely on noise as drama. Too often, I find myself irritated by the frequency of manic lawyers shouting over each other in a court or conference room. The writers should stop relying on this device as a method of creating dramatic tension. More often than not, it merely annoys viewers and makes us reach for the remote. The loss of a significant relationship gave the writers an opportunity to grow the main character in imaginative, innovative, fresh ways. Instead, they shoved her into politics against her will. I am quickly losing all compassion for the protagonist. I also find myself caring less about other characters as the story sprawls into implausible reaches. Depending on what happens in Season 6, I may or may not care enough to watch new episodes when I catch up to the current season. I hope they steer away from campaigning. Maybe this is 2016 election year nausea talking.

diana-y-paul The Good Wife ended its seventh addicting season on Mother's Day as a paean to Alicia Florrick , the award-winning Julianna Margulies, and the journey Florrick has taken over the course of seven long years. (See my earlier May 12, 2012 review of this series. ) She realizes her rebirth—from the ignominy of being an adulterous governor's wife, the lawyer who gave up her career to raise her two children to adolescence, to the brilliant lawyer who becomes a powerhouse both in the courtroom and in the political arena her husband thought was his territory alone.
