The Good Wife
Don't let the name fool you.
Created by Michelle King, Robert King
On CBS
A sharp, cynical legal drama that pairs procedural case-work with serialized political and personal corruption, sustained across 156 episodes by witty sparring and moral compromise.
Alicia Florrick boldly assumes full responsibility for her family and re-enters the workforce after her husband's very public sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail.
