The legal and political drama ‘The Good Wife’ debuted in 2009, centring on the story of Alicia Florrick (portrayed by Julianna Margulies), a lawyer who resumes her legal career following a highly publicised scandal involving her husband, a state’s attorney, and subsequent imprisonment. Inspired by real-life political controversies, the series concluded in 2016 after seven seasons but spawned spin-offs such as ‘The Good Fight’ and the recent addition, ‘Elsbeth.’
Critically acclaimed for its writing, ‘The Good Wife’ remains revered as one of the standout shows of its era. While maintaining consistent quality throughout its run, certain episodes of the series have garnered particular acclaim, whether for their compelling legal cases or intricate personal dramas.
