The Good Wife, une bonne pioche ?

D'après les reviews qui sont en train d'éclore sur le net, il se pourrait que The Good Wife soit l'une des surprises de la rentrée, alors que personne l'attendait. Ne pouvant faire face au buzz Flashforward, la série compte sur des retours presse assez cléments pour sortir son épingle du jeu.
Avant de lire la sélection, rappelons que la série raconte l'histoire d'une femme, jouée par Julianna Margulies, bouleversée suite à l'inculpation de son mari, homme politique, dans une histoire de prostitution. Elle décide alors de reprendre sa carrière d'avocate.

• TV.com : "The Good Wife is bittersweet and triumphant -- and it's going to be a hit."
• IGN : "If this series gets a chance to thrive, it promises to take Alicia on a journey to find those answers, and that's what lifts The Good Wife above mediocre, cookie-cutter primetime fare and into the realm of shows that can confidently be called "pretty good." With time, it could become very good indeed. So do yourself a favor and recommend your mom check out The Good Wife. You probably owe her a call anyway."
• THR : s'ils ne s'avancent pas trop dans la critique, la curiosité semble l'emporter
• boston.com : "Margulies is just perfect for this role. She gets to play a mixture of qualities, rather than either tough-skinned (“The Sopranos,’’ the failed “Canterbury’s Law’’) or vulnerable (“ER’’) (...) Tonight’s case, about a young mother accused of killing her ex-husband, is not clever or twisty, and it takes a few legally absurd leaps along the way. It doesn’t bode well. When cases-of-the-week on a TV procedural are poorly constructed, the rest of the show becomes shaky."
• NYTimes : "Television dramas rarely do very well with the underbelly of politics; “The Wire,” on HBO, was a brilliant exception. “The West Wing” idealized the White House, “Spin City” affectionately spoofed City Hall, but mostly politicians are typecast as cads and criminal suspects on shows like “Law & Order.” “The Good Wife” takes its cue from real life, not just the headlines, and is all the better for it."
• Bostonherald : "In the lead role, Margulies has never seemed more luminous. In one of her best moments, she is confronted by her husband’s political successor, an opponent who leaked his indiscretions to the press and is now convinced her husband is feeding Alicia privileged information about the case."

The Good Wife démarre ce soir sur CBS à 22h et aura comme lead-in de qualité NCIS et son spin-off, rien que ça. Vous trouverez ici un trailer.
