The last few weeks have been so busy I have missed many of my favorite shows. Today as the rain poured down I started sanding and staining my desk and bookcase. (something I have been trying to get done for a year). While I worked I watched the last three DVR'd episodes of The Good Wife. I have written before of my love for this show. The writing is and execution are smart and compelling and I love a show that forces you to pay attention. The complex emotional layers all of the characters play are so far ahead of anything else on the big three networks.
I have always loved Julianna Margulies but don't think I appreciated her talent as much watching Alicia finally reach the end of her rope. Margulies is incredibly restrained, especially in her scenes with Kalinda (Archie Panjabi), making her hurt all the more powerful. If you don't watch The Good Wife your missing a truly great piece of drama.

This is one of my top five favorite shows. Julianna Margulies is ALWAYS great to watch. Such nuanced performances in every role. Have you seen City Island? I'd watch her read the phone book.
Archie Panjabi is also fascinating to watch. Her character is extremely well written, as are all the other roles.
The thing I HATE about this show is that it lasts, what, like 15 minutes? It goes by so fast.
By the way, have you been watching The Killing?
