5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent edge-of-your-seat drama September 30, 2013

The inaugural episode of this season of The Good Wife is worth a play and a re-play for its tightly wound acting and action. The dramatics are flawless and the script spares not a single word. Even if you have never seen this series before, I recommend you seeing this episode because it is television drama at its best. That includes the synchronization of music, so well chosen, as well as the light humor in the robotic tele-commuter. Kudos all around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please review the product, not the delivery! October 3, 2013

By D. Jenkins

Please, review the product, not the delivery. There is a chance that your computer is at fault and what we all look for is how is the drama, how do you like the show, the performances, the storyline, not whether your computer worked with it! It is unfair to TGW to give it one star because your volume didn't work. My opinion of the show is that it is excellent, been looking so forward to it, and was not disappointed! It is very rare that one program is so consistently enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Likely the best written show on TV. October 7, 2013

By Stella

I have never enjoyed any of the courtroom or police dramas but this show is interesting and actually exciting. Very intelligently written with characters of some depth. The writers do the continuous background story very well and with each episode a self-contained story with a beginning and usually climactic ending.

This season's first two episodes looks like the show is actually getting better.

In general what I like about the show is its' exploration of liberalism. I mean REAL liberalism and not the Orwellian double-speak of today in which authoritarianism, intolerance, and love of the State is referred to as being "liberal". Whether it is feminism, guns, or religion it is presented through the lens of American liberalism. Instead of "sides" winning out it seems it is the Individual that is considered the most relevant entity - a complex Human that doesn't just swallow tribal rhetoric then spits out singular agendas. Much self-interest prevents such a thing and the show is unapologetic about this.

It is also fascinating to observe extreme objectivity, I mean "cut-throat" at times, and of course the Law is a perfect place to explore this.

It's sort of like the show "House" except it is a team of lawyers instead of doctors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classy and Suspenseful October 13, 2013

By Stephanie Grubert

Alicia and company survive in their legal world amidst secrets and loyalty. Each week has a fresh new turn. Awesome entertainment and better than trying to watch on the network that interrupts their fine programming with delayed starting times and too many commercials. Definitely worth the price of the program on Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love the back up!! October 11, 2013

By VOD

When I have recorded my favorite programs (The Good Wife) and the program ran previously starts late and, therefore, runs late, I miss getting my complete show and it is so frustrating. Because I am able to see it in whole on Amazon, I save myself a lot of anger and irritation and can relax. I love having this back up.
