The Good Wife is a soapy American series about the wife of a sleazy politician. She's had to go back to a career in the law because her husband's in jail - so the first series is all about her being a junior associate in a big Chicago law firm, and her husband's efforts to prove that he is (mainly) innocent. It's great stuff.
I asked a real lawyer if she thought the 'work' part of it had any bearing in reality and she thought it did. Which is worrying and reassuring in equal measure. The wife is played by Julianna Margulies (Nurse Hathaway in ER) and she's very good. It's slick and glossy and entirely entertaining. Series 2 is on the tellybox at the moment so if you're in (and you have More 4) check it out. You'll want some popcorn...
