The good wife, American legal drama, the wife is a lawyer and the husband is a politician. In this play, you can get the basic political and legal framework. Especially the law of Chicago in the United States, because of the guidance of professional lawyers, the legal aspects in the play are interesting and professional!
The stories are all based on the cases of the company where the wife works. Each episode has a perspective and tells the whole process of the case, one episode by one case. I remember an episode in season two that was visually told by the American jury. From the lawyer's questioning and debate to the conclusion, the episode shows step by step how the lawyer's defense affects the jury, and how the lawyer changes his strategy based on his own performance. In the end, the lawyer reached a plea agreement with the prosecution lawyer in advance because he was worried that his final defense would bias the jury. Unexpectedly, the jury finally found not guilty. However, the jury's decision will no longer be known, let alone take effect, because the lawyers of both parties have reached an agreement.
The law is really interesting, and so is the show. I am amazed at the huge impact juries have in American courts. Defense lawyers will spend huge sums of money, indeed huge sums of money, to hire experts who interpret micro-expressions to observe the jury's response to change the direction of the debate. Each time they go to court, lawyers on both sides spend a lot of time and money investigating the jury to make sure there are no people involved in the case or people who may be biased.
So, I flipped through the jury development. Look, a good TV series stimulates the motivation to study hahahahaha.
plot
As I just said, The good wife has one case per episode, with the case as the core to start the plot. This is actually the same routine as many very long TV shows. For example, there are always dead people around Conan, and he is always solving cases; Big Wolf is catching sheep and herding sheep every day; intern Gray is walking every day to perform operations...
The difference is that this drama is a double-line plot, and the double-line is still very exciting!
The main line is the internal struggle of the wife's law firm and the progress of the case. The double line is the triangular relationship between the wife, husband and boss; the husband's election; Changes, the plot is quite compact.
One of the lines is the romance of the wife and the boss. The estrangement between the wife and the husband began when the husband cheated and resigned. The wife and the boss were college classmates, the boss had long been fond of the wife, and the wife gradually developed feelings for the boss at work... The American concept of that era was still relatively conservative, but there were also some breakthroughs. The limited plot is interesting.
Highlights
In addition, The good wife is also a female drama, and the appearance of various heroines is really cool. Cool and exciting!
The wife, the wife's other boss, and the wife's investigator friend... Among them, the investigator is super cool, dressed cool, and acts cool! ! ! Although the TV series set her as gay, which is not so in line with the trend of female dramas, it is still very good overall.
