Are you still mourning the loss of Alicia Florrick and the rest of the gang from the CBS series The Good Wife? The CBS drama ended its seven-season run last month and the finale received mixed reviews from fans. Shortly after the show ended, CBS announced that a spin-off series would begin airing on CBS All Access in spring 2017. The series would star Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart and Cush Jumbo as Lucca Quinn working at the women’s firm Diane was beginning to create during the final season ofThe Good Wife.

During the interview with TV Line, Michelle King also revealed why Diane and Lucca would be the focus of the new show. “Those were such compelling characters. It seemed like an interesting path to go down.” We couldn’t agree more!

In May 2016, we said goodbye to Alicia Florrick and all her entourage. ‘The Good Wife’ was one of the series that got more praise from critics this decade, and that dazzled many fans, something not easy considering that it was a procedural about lawyers, something very seen, but that the King couple knew how to develop in a different way.

After his departure, the creators wasted no time and gave shape to the spin-off ‘The Good Fight’ and last summer premiered ‘Brain Dead’, two series in which their hand cannot be ignored, nor the influence of ‘The Good Wife’. However, the same has not happened with some of the actors of the iconic series. They have not been as regular on our televisions as one might expect.

Others could become regulars on the grid again next season, as they participate in one of the many pilots that in the near future we will know if they have the opportunity to become a series or remain in a drawer. And while they decide, we review what the actors of ‘The Good Wife’ have been involved in.

The good fight

The total series. When Michelle and Robert King confirmed that after the seventh season they were disengaging from the story, it was clear that the end of The Good Wife was already set and imminent. The two created, served as showrunners and have been at the helm of the writers’ room. Without them, already embarked on a series that will premiere this summer in the U.S., the continuity of The Good Wife made no sense.

The Good Wife has also revolutionized the series of lawyers, one of the favorite groups of television fiction and the scheme of procedural chapters, one case per week, to tell what he wanted.

Television metafiction. If we compare it with cable series (HBO, AMC, Showtime…) The Good Wife has managed to be great, despite starting at a disadvantage. It is not the same to plan a 10-episode season, than to not lower the level throughout 22 installments, aired from October to May with several breaks in between.

In addition, in terms of content, The Good Wife is a series of a generalist network and that means that some topics, explicit scenes and certain language are forbidden. It has managed to be great by turning these disadvantages into a waste of originality and the episode that best shows it is the one in which for every cue that a character released someone opened a window or turned up the ambient noise.
