The Good Wife is more than just a concept, probably because of it's exceptional cast. Julianna Margulies is Alicia, the wife of the title, Chris Noth is her politician husband who was caught with a group of prostitutes and a tape of it was leaked to the press. To make ends meet while he's in prison Alicia has gone back to her legal career which she abandoned to take care of her children, while her mother in law, played by Mary Beth Piel (Grams from Dawson's Creek.) keeps the house going.
At the law firm, Alicia has to compete with another junior associate, Cary (Gilmore Girls' Matt Czurchy) and deal with the disapproval of her new "mentor" Diane, (Christine Barinski)
See what I mean about the cast. The concept is good, the performances were better, and I'm interested in seeing the direction they take it in. What I like the most though is that even I, with my severe CSD (character separation disorder) was able to accept these new characters. It might have helped that Matt Czurchy doesn't have his Logan hair anymore.
And who else thinks its odd that all three of Rory's boyfriends have their own shows and the best she's done is a B chick flick and a guest spot on ER?
