Fox) to come work with him. She's working as a bar attorney in bond court while also trying to find her own clients, but is ultimately being used by Canning himself as a pawn in his fight against Diane (Christine Baranski) and Cary (Matt Czuchry) from her old firm. Peter (Chris Noth) decides to launch his campaign for vice president, hires Eli (Alan Cumming) as his chief of staff and asks Alicia to help him; things don't go very smoothly, however, and he ends up with a new chief of staff, Ruth Eastman (Margo Martindale), while Alicia and Eli start working on their own parallel campaign. Rounding up the team are two new entries: Lucca Quinn (Cush Jumbo), a fellow attorney who befriends and ultimately partners with Alicia; and Jason Crouse (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), an investigator with whom Alicia starts a valuable professional relationship.

Sep 21, 2017 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic As TV critics and surely your parents have told you, The Good Wife is an underappreciated show, in its own class on network television. Oct 6, 2015 | Full Review… Juliet Litman Grantland Top Critic The series of the great scripts, the aesthetic elegance and the secondary ones of luxury. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 13, 2018 | Full Review… Natalia Marcos El Pais (Spain) Now armed with cool intelligence, a weathered savvy, and the kind of controlled ruthlessness that the past six years have built in her, Alicia is an even more interesting underdog than before. Sep 21, 2017 | Full Review… Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast She's come a long way since she wore an Alice-band and towed the line of the goody-two-shoes wife. With Eli knowing where all the dead bodies are, this series will be Machiavellian with a capital M. Jun 14, 2017 | Full Review… Jane Bowron Stuff.co.nz It's the end of the last truly adult drama on commercial network television. May 5, 2016 | Full Review… Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald It was redeemed, as happened so often in the show's run, by Ms. Margulies's fierce intensity as Alicia. Sep 21, 2017 | Full Review… Mike Hale New York Times Top Critic I thoroughly enjoyed the season premiere, in part because I was able to check my expectations. Oct 4, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Lauren Hoffman New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic Perhaps it was appropriate that we ended the series with Peter emphatically denying that he buried evidence and those advising Alicia saying that he probably did. Sep 27, 2017 | Full Review… Eliana Dockterman TIME Magazine Top Critic The show regained some sense of purpose once it was clear that this season would be its last and the Kings could start writing in earnest towards their planned ending.
