About
You’ll like The Good Wife if you want a courtroom-focused drama with ongoing personal stakes and case-of-the-week momentum; Not for you if you need constant originality or a more satisfying, tightly closed ending like in other long-running dramas such as NCIS or Madam Secretary.
Pros: smart legal drama; strong character growth; gripping plotlines | Cons: later-season lag; repetitive reversals; ending divided fans
