Off to a good start. This show has the potential to go beyond its ripped from the headlines premise to become a really satisfying show. Julianna Margulies is perfect in the role.

Best of the new season, so far.

Considering the wealth of retried formulas and overwrought reality TV, this show is a breath of fresh air. Actors are given a good script and a chance to act. Bravo to Julianna on an outstanding week to week performance, kudos to the rest of the cast as well.

I am definitely hooked. Julianna plays her character very well. Any drama show, that has you chuckling, is a good show.

This show is excellent. I wouldn't miss it.

This is a better than average prime time (not cable) series. It's good to get Margullies back, with her minimal affect and her classy look. At worst it's an average court room drama series, and the court room stuff is rather weak and unrealistic, and at best it's a well written soap opera about a wronged wife who is trying to make it on her own in spite of not knowing quite what to do with erring husband Noth, who I hope will be out of prison soon so he can be the real pain in the ass he has the potential to be.… Expand

I hope that it maintains the high standard set so far. It is great to see Peter Riegert rose from Delta House to court judge.

Juliana Margolies is brilliant. She really knows the subtleties of acting. No chewing up the scenery for her, rather understated, nuanced acting. Bravo!!

The legal plots are all "Been there, seen that" and therefore are rather boring. It's a shame that interesting characters are not given much interesting material. Scenes here and there are outstanding, but if this series is just going to be "case of the week" on a regular basis, what a terrible shame.

I watch this show every week. It is pretty good and interesting enough. It is however, every other legal show that has ever been on TV. The only difference is the main characters personal life and how she is coping with it and balancing the return to her career as a lawyer.

I'm hooked, enjoyed the pilot immensely. A clever way to introduce her character, thought it was very well-written. Julianna did a great job making Alicia so believable in such a typically awkward, stressful situation that many of us can relate to on a human level.

What could have been another standard network procedural is actually a fascinating and intelligent show about much more than a lawyer. Margulies, Charles, Baranski, and Panjabi are absolutely flawless in their roles, and the serialized drama is to die for. This is the best drama on network television.

Excellent series, combining courtroom drama, crime stories, politics & social commentaries that are very relevant to today's era, plus romance subplots that are done in mature way. Great cast, and classy storytelling, never trashy. I didn't expect it to be so good in the first place, but ended up being entirely hooked.

Love, love, LOVE this show! There aren't many scripted dramas on network television that were worth watching, until The Good Wife showed up last year. I record the show every week and recommend it to anyone who will listen!

Great show. I really love the way it deals with current issues and events head on. The characters are interesting and show a great deal of depth to be explored over the course of multiple seasons.

The character development is gradually coming together. My wife has to keep explaining to me why certain characters do or say various things. Perhaps this is not a guy show or it is just me - regardless... i"m hooked and love the series.

Julianna Margulies is amazing! I love the ongoing storyline but I don't enjoy having to watch boring court cases mixed in. I love the characters and the drama between them.

The drama between Julianna Margulies' and Chris Noth's character adds an interesting premise to an overdone plot. The politics is the shows strong point.

Such a well written show! I'm not a fan of Julianna but her acting here is superb. Chris Noth plays his character so well. I look forward to watching every episode. I'm glad they're showing this show on a weekly basis. Not like the first season where some weeks gone by without am episode shown.

SOME HIGH SCORES HERE! Well look, I won't merely add to the chorus: this series is very good. In fact the second series is the best thing on television in 2011 - hands down. It demands some time from the viewer to work out what's what and who's who, but between a deft appreciation of court life, corporate strategies and an overarching plot concerning political elections and sexual intrigue there is so much to offer! Excellent acting, directing, writing and editing. HOWEVER: series 1 is somewhat pedestrian and dull and series 3 is nowhere near as good as series 2 (in fact the opening episode was laughably bad). I don't think that the series will have more to say... but what it has had to say so far is certainly worth listening to!… Expand

There is an enigmatic nature to this show that makes it subtlely different and very different. This show is very watchable and that watchability probably comes forth due to the unique execution of dialouge and the full character based nature of the dialouge that's filled with a lot of depth and the use of body language, body movement, and facial expressions in the show.

This is my gift to all of those who have done their best and contributed in such a great way in order to produce 'the good wife'.TGW deserves to be awarded all the time.It combins everything someone looks for in a legal drama which is mystery,romance,real corruption and last but not least seriousness.the finale was the best of all and it really made me wonder what will happen next!
