The series begins with a press conference in which Peter apologizes for his personal indiscretions and denies any professional wrongdoing, but the focus of this series is all on Alicia--how she endures the moment in front of the press, the personal impact of the experience just after the cameras are turned off, and how that instant in time will affect every aspect of her life from that moment on. A middle-aged woman accustomed to charity events and luxury in the suburbs, Alicia is suddenly forced to abandon her old life, move to an apartment in the city, and reenter the workforce as a junior associate in a local law firm in order to support herself and her two teenage children. Add in the extra baggage of the very public sex scandal, competition from a young and highly ambitious twentysomething lawyer (Matt Czuchry) at the firm, and a coworker (Archie Panjabi) whom her husband once fired, and things become really tricky for Alicia. The story is about much more than Alicia's reentry into the courtroom; it's about how everything in her life has changed and how every decision she makes impacts her future. Excellent writing and the powerful performances of Margulies and her costars make this series absolutely captivating. The blend of personal drama, courtroom action, sexual indiscretion, family dynamics, and political scandal is perfectly balanced and, as in real life, everything is complexly interwoven. The most compelling thing about the series is Margulies herself: she is completely believable as Alicia Florrick--everything she feels and thinks comes across as totally real to viewers, sometimes without even one word of dialogue, and viewers can't help but relate to everything she's going through and wonder what they might do in a similar situation. Viewers struggle right along with Alicia as she oscillates between self-confidence and self-doubt, resolve and vulnerability, hatred for her husband's infidelity and an inexplicable resilient love for him, even in the face of her renewed attraction to her former law school classmate and now-boss Will (Josh Charles). Viewers share in her determination to remain strong and somehow balance the demands of work and family. Panjabi is commanding in her breakout role as Kalinda, an extremely pragmatic investigator who regularly defies convention and will go to almost any length to get the information she needs, and every interaction between Alicia and Kalinda is simply electric. Christine Baranski is also stellar in her role as Diane Lockhart, a firm partner who sees Alicia both as someone to mentor and as a personal threat. Besides the 23-episode season, this six-disc set contains quite a few deleted scenes (they get longer as the season progresses) and special features that include on-air promos and a discussion of some of the real-life scandals that caused the writers to ponder the wronged wife's point of view. The hour-and-15-minute-long "Education of Alicia Florrick: Making Season One" features cocreators/writers/executive producers Robert King and Michelle King and executive producer David W. Zucker, along with many of the actors and other important production crew members. They discuss the making of the pilot, location work, casting, costuming, photographic vision, and the show's groundbreaking point of view (they also offer a hint about the focus of the second season). Optional commentaries are available for several episodes and feature Robert King, Michelle King, Zucker, and executive producer Brooke Kennedy. --Tami Horiuchi The Good Wife" is a female-driven drama about a politician's wife who pursues her own career as a defense attorney after her husband is sent to jail on charges of political corruption. Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) will not only have to deal with her career but also with keeping her family together by providing a stable home for her two children. Review: First-rate political and courtroom drama. - The Good Wife is a show I nearly missed out on, partly because it takes nearly half of the first season to establish its tone and fully take flight. I tuned in originally because the premise was intriguing. The protagonist, Alicia Florrick, is the woman behind the fake political smile, standing by a man most women would be happy to be rid of. What makes someone like this tick? From the get go, it is clear that Alicia is complicated. That only develops further as the seasons unfold. If the series had just been about her, I might have lost interest. However, it is also a first-rate courtroom drama and an intriguing political drama with an enthralling romance at its center. An episode like "Bad" features the strengths that hooked me. A disarming sociopath, Colin Sweeney, is introduced and you just can't look away. Who is this man and why would any decent person defend him? There are no easy answers. Equally engrossing is "Heart" in which Alicia crosses a professional line with her boss from which they will never fully recover. And if the final moments of season finale"Running" don't hook you, then you really aren't a fan. The episodes are tightly written with both stand alone legal plots and an overarching political triangle that has multiple reverberations. The cast is uniformly good. My favorites are Josh Charles as Will Gardner and Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart, as odd and endearing a professional couple as any I have seen. Much attention is given to Juliana Margulies and there is a reason for that. She steers the show gracefully. There is also stellar work by a large supporting cast of mostly familiar faces. If you watched Gilmore Girls, Weeds, The Sopranos, Nurse Jackie, and The Americans, you'll be happy to see familiar faces used effectively. And there are many peculiar cameos by famous faces playing quirky judges. My favorite is Ana Gasteyer as a woman who insists that lawyers in her courtroom preface everything they say with, "In my opinion." I absolutely loved this first season. Don't miss it. Review: Addicted from first few moments of show - This show is a really great show and I was addicted from the first few moments. It stands alone in a crowded genre. I really liked the issues it brings up about corruption, politics, law, love, religion, marriage, sex, affairs, public scrutiny. My favorite episodes include the one where they try a college roommate that's on trial for killing her friend. Even though she's not guilty, she's not guilty she ends up accepting a ten year deal because they're worried about what the jury might do. As the judge explains to the jurors how they're no longer needed, it pans to the garbage where 12 votes of not guilty from the jurors are. That to me was very poignant and moving and made you question how often that situation truly happens in real life. I also like the fact that Alicia learns lessons at work such as their role as lawyers is to their client whether they like the person or rather they're guilty or innocent. I also love how even though Alicia's husband publicly cheated on her with strippers and that its remarked that she's a sexual prude, she stays with her husband which is interesting rather than leave him and then when she has the chance to cheat with her boss/past Georgetown law "ex", rather than jump into bed or a relationship right away, she remarks that rather than romance which is the easy part that she needs a plan because family and children and parent teacher conferences are the hard part. You spend episodes invested in the should they, shouldn't they drama which culminates in the season finale. I can't wait to find out if season 2 is as amazing and earth shattering TV as season 1. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Baranski, Christine | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 542 Reviews | | Format | AC-3, Box set, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Genre | Drama/Television | | Language | English | | Number Of Discs | 6 | ## Images ![The Good Wife: Season 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Y9k1avoHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First-rate political and courtroom drama. *by X***A on November 3, 2019* The Good Wife is a show I nearly missed out on, partly because it takes nearly half of the first season to establish its tone and fully take flight.

Questionable Laws plus Questionable Personal Life *by B***A on November 3, 2013* I love this show! It is also on amazon prime. I got hooked after the first few episodes and am watching current episodes now. The show clearly has great writing and it is interesting how the main character, Alicia, gets back into the working world after her husband is caught having affairs while in office. The show has comedy elements, drama, and a lot of current topics embodied into the show story lines. It is interesting to watch her character evolve and face challenges while she is raising her kids, sorting out her love life, and interpreting the law to best suit her current clients. Also Josh Charles is on this show and you can't go wrong with him! This show is definitely worth checking out! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1366209-the-good-wife-season-1](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/1366209-the-good-wife-season-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-14*
