When a very public sex and political-corruption scandal lands her husband, Peter, in prison, Alicia Florrick (Emmy-winner Julianna Margulies) must get past the humiliation and betrayal and assume responsibility for her family. She resumes her career as a defense attorney, shedding her persona as the embarrassed wife of a politician, and takes charge of her destiny. Years later, after Peter wins the gubernatorial election, Alicia must balance her evolving career and family responsibilities with her new position as first lady of Illinois.

Eric Deggans NPR Nov 26, 2019
Over its seven seasons, "The Good Wife" has taken a character seen in American culture mostly as a victim, the betrayed political wife, and given her real agency. Go to Full Review Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Nov 5, 2019
The Good Wife ended spectacularly in personal terms after a superb, seven-year run. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall Uproxx Nov 5, 2019
"End" had moments that worked but never came together on the whole. Go to Full Review Joyce Eng TV Guide Nov 5, 2019
It's not an empowering ending of Alicia truly striking out of her own, but a tragically dark one that makes sense all the same. Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk Nov 5, 2019
3/5
Ok, so this wasn't the conclusion the world had been waiting for, but the absence of The Good Wife is going to leave a gaping hole that, I would hazard, will be impossible to fill. Great characters, strong stories, always ingenious writing. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ollie P @OllieP Jun 28, 2026 Banger series. The last season was a little lame but the final 10 minutes are so good. Worth it. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 20, 2025 22 successful CBS episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 14 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Fernando C @FernandoConti Nov 6, 2024 Let's be honest, Kalinda should be have a name partner during all seasons! Her input was almost always crucial, saving the day. Apart from that, one of the most excellent shows ever. See more Marianna K @RT00009010 Jan 17, 2024 One of my favourite shows until season 6 and 7. Season 7 especially, the characters are so cold and soulless and the whole thing just goes round and round in circles of negativity. Alicia's coldness towards her children is a bit unsettling and her self-centeredness is just too much. See more Brian F @Perusal Nov 12, 2023 I watched all of the The Good Wife for the first time the last two months. It was a well-written show and well-acted, and I recommend it. As an aside, I thought the Diane character was a rotten person with no honor or loyalty for her partners. It's going to take away my enjoyment from watching the Good Fight that they carried over my least favorite character. See more Mar 23, 2022 Seen the whole series. As a man you naturally fall in love with Alicia immediately. What a beautiful and nice woman. But when Negan from the Walking dead suddenly came into the picture, I had to laugh so much. The word brilliant should not be used lightly but this is brilliant. Best series ever! See more Read all reviews
