is
the first thing that came into my mind after finishing the last chapter of The Good Wife . Thank you, Your Honor, for creating this masterful series. Because if the first season we had a very good series, the second season has been their arrival at full maturity for several reasons. The first one is the perfect balance between making legal, political and personal. Since the first this was something that stood out, but I think the second has perfected that balance. If we review the season, we note that the series has been very well organized from the beginning. It started with the relationship between Will and Alice to finish her off too, but in between, we enjoyed the relationship of this woman, mother, wife and lawyer, strategies for taking control of the firm and elections to tax.
is said that there is another procedural law more, and although part of this statement has some truth, the series remains a procedural law, but add that it is a major procedural law. The second season has sought to autoconclusivos interesting cases and attached to reality, showing especially the U.S. that there are tricks to gain or lose a case. We have seen cases involving Cuba, with murder, with the Internet, with organ transplants ... Along with this, also emphasized elements related to the legal profession. The union with Derrick Bond could not last long and with a master plan of deception, was achieved long-awaited vote of banishment. We also assist the doubts of where the profession of Cary, ways of working of the public prosecutor and a law and how to play with the judges.
But there is another procedural lawyers in the sense that a step further by combining these cases autonconclusivos with a long-term pattern unlike other series, is another case, but the politics and family drama that around. The release of Peter has the opportunity to stand for election for attorney general. In some chapters we have seen as was the rise, helped by the great Eli Gold, the architect of victory. Something you could guess, but this has not been unsatisfactory. The campaign, the debates, the struggle with the other candidate, religion, Eli ... all contributed to this story is very interesting. But you can not have everything and Peter has been seen as the professional side has been routed, but not his personal life. We had to wait until the last chapters to the bomb exploded: the discovery that Peter Alicia slept with Leena, ie Kalinda. That was the straw that broke the camel to Alicia revolutionized. Peter left, he broke his friendship with Kalinda and was a joy to Will. The only thing I do not quite share the anger of her mother Alice. True that sometimes the woman is something unbearable, but I think that is a strategy of distraction and that Chris North is engaged in the theater, but had a breakdown in the final chapter surprising, suggesting that will not be as isolated as we think. Everything revolves around Alice and her relationships, but the other characters do not stay in the background. Their reactions, their emotions are an important part of the picture. Perhaps the most noteworthy here is Kalinda. If the first part of the season was ridden by Blake stalking in the second, has seen the consequences of disclosure. For the first time we have been torn down and sad, but they quickly returned to protect a large wall, but will assume the consequences.
The second reason for the genius of this second season have been secondary characters and guests . He had only role in the fight for law firms, but when you see Diane (Christine Baranski) is a special light. It's that kind of characters that even without a special role, are needed in this type of series. Like Eli Gold (Alan Cumming) which is a sublime robaplanos. Has gradually gained more weight to the point of knowing something more about his private life. Another has been revealed is Cary (Matt Czuchry), who has managed to move from a superb lawyer with a friend. Nor should we forget the mother and the children of Peter and Alicia's brother (perhaps the great discovery of this second season.) Along with them, all the guests who have passed: Michael J. Fox, Martha Plimpton, America Ferrera, Rita Wilson, Sarah Silverman ...
And finally, are all those details that adorn and complement the lecture series. From the subtle criticism of the U.S., costumes, music (the choice of the song in the final minutes could not be better), photography ... We attended a round season, although it has all the positive enjoyment, also includes the fear that the third level can not achieve both. One way or another, do not think there is a significant downturn because we face one of the best series actuals so thank you, Your Honor, for existing.
