List of The Good Wife episodes
On May 11, 2015, CBS renewed the series for a seventh season. It was announced in a commercial that aired during Super Bowl 50 that the seventh season would be the final season of "The Good Wife". A total of 156 episodes of "The Good Wife" aired over seven seasons.
The Good Fight
The "Los Angeles Times" suggested that "Good Fight" creators Robert and Michelle King "still had the "Good Wife" magic" and though "Good Wife" "had already [run] its course" after seasons 6 and 7 had received mediocre reviews, "they just needed a clean slate" to allow them to continue to mine more stories from that fictional universe. In addition, unlike "Good Wife" which was centered around "romantic tension" and got bogged down in Alicia Florrick's (Julianne Margulies) love life, "Good Fight" was considered "refreshing for steering the story the other way" as relationships are "not the plot points that drive the story". "Good Fight" is regarded as a rare successful example of a TV series spin-off, as other contemporary TV series are either reboots or remakes.
