Alicia waives attorney/client privilege after her client is murdered; Peter punches Mike Kresteva
By Breia Brissey @ EW



Is it just me or does it feel like we've waiting forever for the Shamrock Dinner? For weeks I've been looking forward to the fancy soiree -- complete with the promise of Peter putting Mike Kresteva in his rightful place, but more on that later. But the party wasn't all about the swanky clothes and open bar, and leave it to Eli to point out the true goal of the dinner: getting on the good side of Cardinal James (John Cullum). If history was any...

Alicia takes on a case as a favor to her mother and Peter asks Alicia to renew their vows
By Breia Brissey @ EW


It seems like just yesterday we were eagerly awaiting the arrival of Kalinda's husband during the season 4 premiere of The Good Wife. That story line didn't really pan out, but still, I can't believe we've already reached the penultimate episode. Unfortunately, "A More Perfect Union" was about as underwhelming as Mr. Kalinda Sharma. Things moved too slowly, and again, there was no Eli Gold! That said, I think the writers held back a little bit to lay...

What a difference a month can make! Or in our case, two weeks of TV preemptions courtesy of the Super Bowl and the Grammys. But in Good Wife world, a month was all it took for Lockhart/Gardner to become completely debt-free. Three cheers for their lack of financial ruin and the hopeful end to the dull bankruptcy plotline!

In fact, things were so lucrative at the firm, they were projecting to end the year $133 million...

Matthew Perry guest stars as the chair of a blue ribbon panel, and the FBI joins the investigation on Kalinda

By Breia Brissey / EW

"Is this going to take long? Only if it irritates you." Oh, Eli Gold. How I love your comedic relief for The Good Wife. Last night's episode was relatively tame, as it focused mostly on a blue ribbon panel instead of a typical in-court case. But we finally got a little more insight on Kalinda's mysterious tax case, and we got to witness Matthew Perry as a man of the law instead one of our favorite Friends. Could I be any more excited?...

Alicia gets a career-changing offer, Will and Diane face off against Louis Canning, and Neil Gross returns
By Breia Brissey @ ew


Are you kind of tired of hearing about Lockhart/Gardner's financial woes? Just like I grew weary of the Kalinda/Nick storyline, I'm now getting a little bored with the firm's constant debt struggle. But at least the writers shook things up a little bit by throwing Louis Canning into the mix. I love to hate Michael J. Fox's character on The Good Wife. That said, I'd be a pretty happy camper if I didn't have to hear another word about the...

Alicia's mother comes to town, and a famous liberal lawyer offers his help on the case of the week
By Breia Brissey at EW


Was it really necessary to air an all-new episode of The Good Wife during a post-holiday weekend? I grumbled about this very fact as I spent five hours on a bus returning to NYC from my own Thanksgiving celebration. And so what did Robert and Michelle King do? They delivered one of the best episodes of the season just to shut me up. You win, The Good Wife. Staying up late to catch "A Defense of Marriage" was totally worth it.

In the case of the...

Oh, Colin Sweeney. Always creepy, but also always interesting. The show's infamous wife-killer returned, this time appearing to have not committed any major crimes. Sweeney was trying to regain control of his company, Harold Equity Group, and Lockhart (Temporarily Suspended) Gardner was assisting with the proxy vote. It seemed as though the vote would swing in Sweeney's favor, but where's the fun in that? During his investor's speech, Isobel Swift (played by Homeland's Morena Baccarin) accused him of sexual harassment. Isobel then announced her intent to sue Sweeney...
