The Good Wife is in need of a reinvention. The show is at a crossroads. Season six of the acclaimed legal drama ended with
Archie Panjabi ‘s Kalinda Sharma and Julianna Margulies’ Alicia Florrick “sharing” one final scene together after not appearing in the same scene in more than 50 episodes. “Sharing” is in quotes because reports have surfaced—and Panjabi has not denied them —that the scene was a CGI creation. Now, season seven is upon us. Kalinda is gone. The Good Wife needs to keep on going. Yes, the death of Kalicia was a major blow to the show, but it wasn’t the only aspect that attracted so many to the show. It’s time to go back to the basics and remind viewers why we loved the series in the first place: Alicia Florrick.
