Pushing aside the betrayal and crushing public humiliation caused by her husband, Peter, Alicia Florrick starts over by pursuing her original career as a defense attorney.
As a junior associate at a prestigious Chicago law firm, she joins her longtime friend, former law school classmate and firm partner Will Gardner, who is interested in rekindling their former relationship. The firm's top litigator and other partner, Diane Lockhart, likes Alicia's work and her connections so she and Will award her with a full-time associate position following a trial period.
Alicia beat out Cary Agos, a clever young attorney who takes a job in the state's attorney's office, now bitter and vengeful. Alicia finds an ally and a friend in Kalinda, the firm's tough and mysterious in-house investigator.
Gaining confidence every day, Alicia transforms herself from embarrassed politician's scorned wife to resilient career woman, especially for the sake of providing a stable home for her children, 14-year-old Zach and 13-year-old Grace.
Now that Peter is back home and planning to run for office again with help from Eli Gold, his cunning image consultant, Alicia continues to redefine herself and her role in her family's life.
So the action cleverly goes back and forth between Eli/Zach and Alicia/Elspeth. The Hayward documents reveal that her campaign is going after racial bias in the SA’s office. “It’s a bluff. They want us to chase our tails,” says Eli, but the plan seems to be confirmed at a press event where Maddie announces that she is a “feminist that wants you to make money…I think racial bias is bad for business.”
At the same event, Maddie tells Peter she wants four debates. Eli insists on one. As for the bias issue—Eli tells Peter to talk to the ASAs in his office to see if anybody’s disgruntled; Jordan says, Let it go.
As it turns out, Elspeth needs help on a couple fronts: She’s behind bars in the suburbs, arrested for harassment after she tried to question the CEO of an athletic shoe company at a college appearance. The company has reneged on a $5 million contract with her client, Olympic medal winner Anna.
There is a hearing on the case in two hours, so Will is enlisted to pinch hit while Elspeth, true to wacky form, cheerfully introduces Alicia to her cellmate.
When Will and Anna meet with the CAS, set up behind a table in a sports training facility, the panel’s president, Judge Villapique, introduces himself and two other judges—in French. (“What the hell?” mutters Will. “They’re speaking French.”) They agree to switch to English because, as the lawyer presenting the case against Anna murmurs in French, Will is a victim of the American education system.
I'd never liked "ER", though Margulies has formidable talent. Given the right character, script & director, I felt certain she could deliver. In The Good Wife she does. Her distinctive ability lies in nuance, & here she is finally given the perfect vehicle.
The scripts as well as the entire cast, take directions you'd never expect. That's is the real appeal of the show. Archie Panjabi is a spiffy surprise as the "investigative assistant", if you will. She approaches her character as if she's the entire supporting cast of "Shark", (James Woods 2-season crime drama) rolled into one easy-on-the-eyes, package. She's tough, loyal, funny, & adds to the show's depth.
Kudo's also, to veteran Christine Baranski for playing her "been-everywhere...done everything" role in a fresh way she seldom has in recent years.
