Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
stathakisf A star that started a sad housewife tries to take action in her life,but is going back and forward emotionally,she is always crying and when she wants to be a determined professional back stabs everybody (friends and co-workers) but emotionally dependents on her fear of love and acts spasmodically when she feels threatened and runs back to her cheating husband at anytime...A desirable researcher (that I still don't get why everybody is falling in love with her) and a fool (Will) always in love that sacrifices his personal happiness for a woman that doesn't know what she wants.A fantastic judicial tv series,that has flaws (3-4 judges and 2-4 arch enemies.Like there are no other lawyers in a state...The star of this show (Julianna Margulies) is a very emotionally flat (about expressions) that becomes hated since the beginning of the 4th season.The beast character is Diane Lockhart played be fantastic Christine Baranski and secondly Eli Gold played by Alan Cumming.The kids are also ok
diana-y-paul The Good Wife ended its seventh addicting season on Mother's Day as a paean to Alicia Florrick , the award-winning Julianna Margulies, and the journey Florrick has taken over the course of seven long years. (See my earlier May 12, 2012 review of this series. ) She realizes her rebirth—from the ignominy of being an adulterous governor's wife, the lawyer who gave up her career to raise her two children to adolescence, to the brilliant lawyer who becomes a powerhouse both in the courtroom and in the political arena her husband thought was his territory alone. Read my second review at www.unhealedwound.com --this time of the series finale--"The Good Wife"--A Good End?--and bidding goodbye to probably the best series on broadcast TV in over a decade!
Sam Disegno Looking at the name, you would think that this is a soap opera. No, it isn't! And even though it is set in the back drop of the legal, business and political world it is a fantastic drama about human relationships in our work and personal life.This is one of the few shows that I watch (well, watched) because it really has everything in the RIGHT mixture - suspense, thrill, realistic portrayal of human nature and the legal and business world, well timed humour and comedy and angst. With tightly written and well paced script, the brilliant writers and amazing actors prove their skills with flair - a perfect blend!Amazing actors, except for the lead Julianna Margulies.I never liked her. She doesn't suit the role at all. And so she rightly doesn't get much recognition from us fans.But we fans don't dislike her for her acting skills because the writing of the drama more than made up for her lack of talent and charm. But we fans of the shows are rightly angry at her because we know that it is her EGO that resulted in the cancellation of this drama. Numerous news articles have appeared on how she used to throw tantrums when other actors gained more fame than her (the actress who played Kalinda, for example), and she treated them very badly, made sure their roles were reduced and finally (when even that failed to dampen the support for these characters by us fans) ensured that these actors were fired so that "the viewer could focus only on her". She failed to understand that she no charisma, and the show got such high ratings because of the other characters and the superb writing.But don't let the personality of the lead actor deter you from watching this FANTASTIC show. And trust me, the ending will satisfy you - the writers express their anger and frustration at Julianna Margulies in a slapping finish in the last episode, in their own understated manner.
dumeryarne Before you read further, I am the kind of reviewer that just wants to see a good movie or series. I am not going to compare anything with books,am not going to judge acting on details,... I just want to see a good thing without having to much expectations.I was a fan of "Suits" for a long time but thought they did not bring me enough change from season to season. So after a while i stumbled upon this one and just gave it a go thinking it would not be anything compared to suits because I liked the humor there.I must admit, the first season of this series was very good, I loved how every case had its own story, but the story itself from character to character kept on going. It made it whole. But to bad...this goes a bit to slow in my expectations. After 1 season and starting season 2 i just had the feeling I was not watching anything new.I recommend the series for people who loved suits and want something a bit different (or same). But for me it's not hooking me anymore :(
