What a fabulous series this is, delivering cleverly written, superbly performed episodes week after week. This week, as Alicia (Julianna Margulies) struggles to write a high-stakes keynote address, we get flashbacks to the time the series began – and just before – as Alicia recalls her initial post-law school meeting with Will (Josh Charles). It’s an episode exploring, in yet another subtle way, their intimately complex relationship – yet also an episode making room for more unforgettable scenes from legal loose cannon Elsbeth (Carrie Preston).
