After watching the first season of "The Good Wife", I have a new understanding of the degree of conservatism in mainstream American society. I really don't understand why the heroine has not filed for divorce by the end of the first season. What is her inner desire? Where does the logic of her behavior come from?
In the American drama market more than ten years ago, streaming media was not yet in power. With one episode a week, it was necessary to ensure that each episode had enough reversals and hooks to hook the audience, and then it could meander all the way to more than 100 episodes in seven or eight seasons. So The Good Wife has a common problem with American dramas at that time: it is often reversed for the sake of reversal, and the coherence of the characters is sacrificed for the plot, and the overall sense of the story itself is sacrificed. The level of excellence is obviously not as good as today's feminist masterpieces - Killing Eve, Mrs.America, Fleabag, Why women kill, etc. The "sweetness" is not enough, and it does not meet the tastes of the current female audience.
In short, after reading it, it is a bit like eating a perfect fast food, eating fast, a little tired after eating, but not the inner satisfaction after eating a real delicious meal. I'm too lazy to watch the next few seasons, I'm going to see the plot synopsis and pull it down - relying on the plot to promote the story will make the audience like this.
ps, after watching the first season, I feel that Peter is an asshole, but it is sexy enough, a traditional alpha male, this character stands up. Will's loyal dog setting lacks a little convincing, not enough character layers, and a little boring.
