jebbypalThere were only 4 new shows that I picked up and watched every week last season: NCIS:LA, The Good Wife, Human Target, and White Collar
NCIS:LA and Human Target, while fun and with excellent candidates for TV boyfriends, are admittedly, fluff. I would be sad if they went away, but I'm sure more fluff would appear to take their place. Not that we have to worry about that with NCIS:LA any time soon.
White Collar....The love is there. During it's initial love, it was the highlight of my week. And then the writing got even more uneven, the show seemed to lose focus of the fact that Neal isn't a straight through and through hero, and well, Kate. Yes, it now cotains my one and only OT3 and my slash goggles are permanently affixed to my head now, but not my favorite.
The Good Wife though, wow. Seriously, I thought that law shows had been done to death, and was very ambivalent going into this one from the previews. But it had enough stars in its cast to make me give it a go one night and wow.
Seriously, it can easily be argued that this is the sole remaining last straight drama on TV, and the writing is out of this world. To summarize, Alicia Floreck's husband, then AG of IL, got caught up in a huge prostitute scandal, and she played the Good Wife while he held his press conferences. However, her husband goes to jail due to alleged scandals, and she finds hereself back in the work force as a junior associate at a law firm vying for the only permenanent spot with a much younger, single, male colleague Cary. Complicating matters is her history with her boss Will Gardner and trying to deal with her husband's mother on a daily basis (who helps out with the kids).
It's a show that could be very cookie cutter, but instead all the characters are flawed. The cases are well thought out, the relationships flow in a realistic way, and I quite frankly can't wait for hiatus to end so we can see what happens post the cliff-hanger.
Trust me, if there's one show from last season that you should check out, it's The Good Wife. Even if it has a disturbing lack of explosions, killer robots, and beanies. But I'm sure we'll see at least one of those three next season.
