After her husband Peter Florrick, a prominent state attorney, is caught in a public sex and corruption scandal, Alicia Florrick is thrust into the spotlightโnot as a politicianโs wife, but as a woman starting over. Humiliated yet resolute, she returns to her former profession as a defense attorney, joining a prestigious Chicago law firm while trying to rebuild her family’s life and protect her children from the chaos.
At the firm, Alicia must navigate cutthroat office politics, legal battles, and moral dilemmas that constantly blur the line between right and wrong. As she rediscovers her own strength and intelligence, she proves herself in court, even as she faces resistance and scrutiny from colleagues who view her as just another scandalized wife seeking redemption.
Outside the courtroom, Alicia becomes entangled in deeper political games, especially as Peter attempts to reclaim power and run for higher office. As old flames reignite and new alliances form, Alicia is pulled into a web of ambition, betrayal, and complex relationships that test her ethics and emotional resolve.
Over seven seasons, The Good Wife evolves from a legal drama into a gripping study of power, identity, and reinvention. Aliciaโs transformation from loyal spouse to commanding legal mind makes the series not just a story about law or politicsโbut about a woman learning to live on her own terms.
