The Good Wife is the latest hit drama from CBS which began September 22, 2009. A politician's wife takes responsibility for her family and re-enters the workforce after her husband's very public sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail.
Pushing aside crushing public humiliation caused by her husband Peter, Alicia Florrick starts over by pursuing her original career as a defense attorney.
As a junior associate at a prestigious Chicago law firm, she joins her longtime friend, former law school classmate and firm partner Will Gardner, who is interested to see how Alicia will perform after 13 years out of the courtroom. Diane Lockhart, offers to mentor her but discovers the offer has conditions and realizes she's going to need to succeed on her own merit.
Alicia's main competition among the firm's 20-something new recruits is Cary, a recent Harvard grad who is affable on the surface, but will use any means to ensure that he, not Alicia, secures the one full-time associate position that's available. Alicia transforms herself from embarrassed scorned wife to resilient career woman, especially for the sake of providing a stable home for her two children.
For the first time in years, Alicia trades in her identity as the "good wife" and takes charge of her future.
