The Good Wife
Verne Gay of "Newsday" said, "Like "Mad Men", "Wife" has an obsessive attention to detail; it's a hurricane of detail, in the visual touches, legal patter and the actors' unspoken flourishes. Nothing seems extraneous or out of place. Also like "Men", this show cares as much about silence as words, or that which isn't said (also a form of eloquence)." Todd VanDerWerff of "The A.V. Club": "The series also feels impeccably researched and lived-in, just as "The Wire" did. "The Good Wife" may not seem like the logical successor to "The Wire" on the surface, but it's revealed itself to be a series nearly as complex, humane, and deep as that earlier show, and all in reduced network running-times with heightened restrictions on content." "The Guardian" (Bim Adewunmi): "But as the 100th episode – part of a near-flawless season five – shows, The Good Wife is uncommonly good. If you're looking for a quality drama box set to escape the family this Christmas, look no further. It has no smoking, brooding male anti-hero, and it's not a period piece, but "The Good Wife" is exciting and smart and underrated." The guardian referred to The Good Wife as a "miracle of the small screen" that was "not really seen on that scale since the days of Cagney and Lacey."
