Critics, per Wikipedia
The New York Times says that The Good Wife "stands out among newer fall shows" and that it is "miles ahead of anything else that's on at the moment". In reviewing the earlier episodes many critics praised the acting. The Chicago Tribune said: "one of the best parts of the show is Alicia's complicated relationship with her husband, who humiliated his family with a sex scandal but also appears to be a pawn in a larger game being played by high-level politicians". The New York Daily News said, "Margulies puts a powerful combination of cold fury, bewilderment and tenacity into Alicia Florrick, the wife of a disgraced Chicago politician in a new series that readily admits it ripped itself from…

60 of 232 · most liked firstholy what??? Robert & Michelle King are creating a show about a female journalist at the Vatican, sounds like if Conclave was also a media version of The Good Wife? Was this show made in a lab for me @clairewillett.bsky.social & @emilynussbaum.bsky.social specifically?? deadline.com/2025/12/robe...

neutral · AI labelView post →Cush Jumbo is great. Audra McDonald is great. Obviously Christine Baranski is great. It’s just a really fun and well written show and you don’t even have to have watched The Good Wife first.
positive · AI labelView post →Oh my god The Good Wife team is doing a lawyer show set in Cupertino where they take on Big Tech this shit is gonna be fucking SCATHING
neutral · AI labelView post →True Blood, Claws, The Good Wife and now, finally, her own show. Carrie Preston is all hits, no skips. Also, #Elsbeth uses “consent decree” to upend the way police procedurals usually function as copaganda.
neutral · AI labelView post →CBS' new spinoff series Elsbeth is, improbably, "What if The Good Wife, but make it Columbo?" But Carrie Preston and the tried-and-true open mystery format make a good enough pairing. My review:

neutral · AI labelView post →quite right+why "best" lists that ignore the domestic element of the medium of tv and its viewership then omit or misrank Scandal, Hacks, The Diplomat, The Morning Show, Grace and Frankie, Queen Sugar, The Newsroom, The Good Wife + only uplift, as sidenote, spectacles of feminine abjection

I find one of the problems with action scoring is making sure the music is more than just functional. keeping up energy, maintaining tension, heightening certain moments, etc. #filmcomposer
neutral · AI labelView post →LANTERNS ends this weekend, and, while it's got wonderful performances and some fun set-pieces, it remains hard not to see it as one of those fake parody prestige series that the Florricks watched on THE GOOD WIFE. 1/x
negative · AI labelView post →Agreed. I’ve been watching a show called evil by the people who created the Good Wife and the Good Fight. It’s a clever show about the Catholic Church investigating demonic possessions. What it highlights however is just that all evil is really just “people.”
neutral · AI labelView post →Measuring in minutes watched is wild. Because 3.75 billion looks good until you realise that's only 8 million accounts watching in full, which is only 2% of Netflix subscribers. In comparison, this is less than the least watched season of THE GOOD WIFE, a show that was considered low-rated.

Or Game of Thrones. Or The Americans. Or The Good Wife. Or Better Call Saul. Or Veep. Or Hannibal. Or Fleabag. Or Bojack Horseman. Or

neutral · AI labelView post →The thing is it shoudln't be hard to have our cake and eat it too, have fun procedurals AND every now and then a nice splashy show like Game of Thrones, and from that system you get stuff like The Good Wife that becomes absolutely transcendent!

It was then sold via Kerry Taylor Auctions in 2016 for £1,600. It was bought by #legaleriadior, who are now exhibiting it in their La Parisienne room.
neutral · AI labelView post →this would have made for an absolutely killer The Good Wife episode www.404media.co/show-how-3m-...
neutral · AI labelView post →Saturday I finished season 1 of The Good Wife, began season 5 of Grantchester and started (all on DVD) the series The Morning Show from Apple..which comes in a season 1 & 2 box set. I need more than one episode but Reese Witherspoon is the best thing so far. 😬🤐
neutral · AI labelView post →“Bonanza” always seemed like such an ancient show to me, yet a similar time run for my daughter would be “The Good Wife,” which is freightening. Almost as bad as when I learned the old timey song “Please Mr. Postman” to my birth year is the same timespan as Gaga’s “Pokerface” to my daughter. 😭

neutral · AI labelView post →No, the brilliant show by Robert and Michelle King that theoretically was a spinoff of The Good Wife, but was much more surreal and bold and directly aimed at the Trump era

neutral · AI labelView post →He played a musician who's viral acoustic version of a rap song called Thicky Trick is ripped off note for note by a Glee style reality show on The Good Wife. He was pretty wholesome and genuine in that role when everybody around him is slick and shady. I've always liked him.
neutral · AI labelView post →You know what I need to rewatch? The Good Wife. Part of the show involves the NSA and wiretapping & how if someone they've wiretapped speaks to someone important it can give them precedent for listening to that person.
neutral · AI labelView post →it's by the same people who made The Good Wife, and one thing about the Kings is that they are enormous haters. they are enormous haters who will let their show be weird. the perfect people to make a show about AI. plus Mike Colter is crazy hot and Busy Phillips is crazy funny. so.

He will play the fictional host on “Way Late with Scotty Bristol” in the network’s spinoff of the hit series “The Good Wife.” share.newsbreak.com/edj0c0zp?s=i16
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh! I've been meaning to say: you might want to check out a series called Elsbeth (based on a character originally in 'The Good Wife'). It's very watchable and harks back massively to Columbo (murder in a bathtub by food blender anyone?) Strong recommend! #ColumboTV

neutral · AI labelView post →2/3 Well, I enjoyed Season 2 of The Night Agent and then spent most of the week bingeing on The Resident, a fairly standard yet engaging medical drama starring Matt Czuchry from The Good Wife. Both are on Netflix. But what have you been watching?
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Good Wife pilot. Never seen the show, so I can’t say for sure where this is headed, but I’m pretty sure this bitch is about to wife the fuck outta some shit-talking naysayers.
positive · AI labelView post →It was such a pleasure to watch him in The Good Wife/Fight! You gave him a perfect platform to show off his comedic side

neutral · AI labelView post →Okay it’s time for my TV show update: while I was away, I finished Scandal in its entirety & I’ve made it to season 4 of The Good Wife. I’ll definitely be checking out The Good Fight, Elsbeth, & Evil ASAP!
positive · AI labelView post →The CBS/Paramount show Elsbeth is so good. The same writers that wrote The Good Wife, write it. Elsbeth was originally a character on The Good Wife. I'm always envious of people who make writing seem so effortlessly. I highly recommend it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wow, never seen that show. I know Joe Morton mostly from movies, The Good Wife, and other TV shows (his episodes on Scandal as Olivia Pope's father are EPIC). But the first time I saw him was on TV in a rerun of the film "The Brother from Another Planet". 😍

neutral · AI labelView post →The Good Wife should have had Alicia win her election and then refocus the series around her new role. Instead they pulled the rug on her and went back to square one. That's when I ditched it. I just didn't care anymore.
negative · AI labelView post →If you're craving a show that curiously balances episodic imperatives with wildly original/creatively populated longer arcs as a way of squaring the circle between Prestige TV and the workaday pleasures of the good ol' boob tube.... I humbly recommend all seven seasons of The Good Wife.
positive · AI labelView post →It’s interesting, cause before THIS scene ‘Elsbeth’ wasn’t really tapping into what made the character worthy of a spinoff show in the first place imo. Quirkiness & whimsy sure but she was a calculating, ruthless lawyer on The Good Wife/Fight who lost to her own morality, not the court of law.
neutral · AI labelView post →My source also tells me that the men will be tasked with writing and producing a Kevin James sitcom for CBS while the women will have to create a show that wins more Emmys than The Good Wife
neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching the Good Wife. I used to love this show.
positive · AI labelView post →Day 6. Favourite episode of your favourite tv show. Okay its not my favorite episode all tv shows included; that honor goes to s03e04 of The Wheel of Time, "The Road of the spear", but since the prompt is specifically in regard of my favourite show then it's "Hitting the Fan", s05e05 The Good Wife

neutral · AI labelView post →Not to mention, not a detective show, but most episodes of The Good Wife were legal procedurals—AND serviced longer story arcs—all in ad-supported network TV seasons. EVIL is essentially a supernatural procedural, again with serial elements fit in each episode too!

neutral · AI labelView post →Ah, that reminds me of Carrie Preston! Intended to play Elsbeth Tascioni for one or two episodes in The Good Wife, was popular enough that she usually appeared once a series after that? Then the same in the spinoff, The Good Fight, and then as the lead in her own show spun off of that
