By bringing Carr back into the series to specially prosecute Will Gardner, THE GOOD WIFE moves back into political intrigue which made the show so successful. However, to bring up judicial bribery as a charge against Will comes completely out of left field and undermines the subplot. This has been the problem this entire season, subplots without any weight to them.
Episode's about an military officer charged with murder. Again, every main plot this season has been weak. We don't get to know the accused so we don't feel anything for her plight.
Subplot involving the grandmother spying on Alicia doesn't hold enough emotional conflict. It should've been Peter. If we're going to get into a custody battle, let's get into a BATTLE. Let's get as mean and nasty as possible. It makes for better tv and it's much more entertaining.
Instead of going for the homerun, the creators feel content to settle for singles this season.
