The Good Wife: The Final Season

DVD to the rescue when this series finished on the streaming service it was on. Excellent final season

In a time when ambition and being clever are a virtue, The Good Wife, especially the final season, ranks as the best show of the last 8 years. Ridley Scott takes you a bit out of your comfort zone to show you, the viewer, what has become of the land of the free. Though it doesn't take to task all the foibles of modern life, not being that insanely ambitious in itself, it picks an area and exposes our flaws--and virtues. Unfortunately, as a society, we shun any form of criticism as being offensive, so it seems the end has come. Thank you, Mr. Scott for 7 years of really great TV.

The writing, acting, music and overall production of this show makes it a keeper for me. I bought every season, and really enjoyed waiting patiently for Season 7, ignoring the ability to stream it. There may be different TV out there, (I don't watch TV, so I miss a lot of these shows until a couple of years later when you hear the raves.) but there isn't better TV.

Loved this series. I never watched it when it was on TV but really enjoyed watching it on my portable DVD player. Worth buying!

What can I say. It was on broadcast network tv, the spin off is good but you have to pay for the good fight. But no Alicia.

Great actors, great writers, great plots. . . and obviously great directors. Love it!! Sad it ended. P.S. Please make more of this kind. . . Thanks

I enjoy the show and want to be able to see it when no longer in re-runs on TV. Great case - complex stories. Love it.

This is, of course, the final season of the long-running, and popular CBS show. It is, as all the other seasons have been, mostly about the journey of Alicia Florrick. The series really takes the show back to its beginnings with Peter ending up in hot water again, this time after making a failed run for President. Since the show is set in the real political world (at least in part) that is not giving anything away. The first part of the season is about the Presidential run as well as Alicia trying to make it as a solo attorney (with Louis Canning still trying to woo her). It is part case-of-the-week, and part larger storyline (as it has been during its entire run). The latter half of the season sees Peter back in court, much like he was in season one, and Alicia trying to decide whether to stand by him (yet again). I will not say too much so as not to spoil anything for the handful of people who have not seen the season yet, but I do think it did a good job with that.What the season did a terrible job of is setting up the spin-off show, The Good Fight. If you have at least seen the pilot of that show (which I did before ever watching The Good Wife), the only thing about the new show that gets established is the character of Lucca Quinn (played by Cush Jumbo) who was brought in to replace Kalinda as a best friend for Alicia. But nothing in the storylines of the final season set up the story that began the new show. I am not sure whether The Good Fight was decided on after The Good Wife wrapped, but if the showrunners knew ahead of time that the spin-off was a go, they did a crappy job setting it up.The show did not wrap everything up in a nice bow either. You only get a vague idea of what might have been next for the various characters, but there was very little, even for the main characters, of this is what was next for them. It leaves a lot to the imagination of the viewer. They did manage to bring Josh Charles back for the final episode in a unique way. The only series regulars that did not at least make an appearance were Archie Panjabi (who had gone on to her role in Blindspot, and given the reported bad blood between her and Margulies likely had no interest in returning for the finale) and Matthew Goode. Another bright spot was the addition of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the new investigator to replace that part of the Kalinda character, and as a new love interest for Alicia, as the real replacement for Will. He seemed to have good chemistry with Juliana Margulies played the role of the mysterious new character very well.For those who get the DVD set, it is much like the other seasons (sans the commentary tracks that appeared in the first couple seasons). There are deleted and/or extended scenes for most episodes. They range from about 45 seconds for some episodes and around 11 minutes for the longest group. The final disc has the rest of the bonus material, about 45 minutes worth of making-of and behind the scenes material, a short wrap-party red carpet event, and a series spanning gag reel.Overall, I would say the season was enjoyable. I would not have ended it the way they did, at least not with adding about 10 more minutes to give the show, and the characters, more closure. Although, will say that I can see what they were going for with the way it did end. I cannot say that everyone will like how it ended, but as a whole, I think if you liked the prior seasons you will like most of this one.
