THE GOOD WIFE
October 4, 2015  | By David Bianculli

CBS, 9:00 p.m. ET

 
SEASON PREMIERE: What a strong way to start a new season. Alicia (Julianna Margulies), unfairly tainted by a political scandal, has dropped out of the State Attorney race and been forced to start over – not at either of her former law firms, but all on her own, working cases at the bottom of the Illinois legal food chain. Meanwhile, estranged husband Peter (Chris Noth) is as up as Alicia is down, and is positioned to run for an even higher political office. And that allows room for yet another advisor, played by the scene-stealing Justified and The Americans Emmy-winner Margo Martindale. And speaking of scene-stealers: also appearing in this Season 7 opener: Recurring player Michael J. Fox and new cast addition Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Everybody’s wonderful, Alan Cumming’s Eli is superheated, and Margulies, as a put-upon but doggedly determined Alicia, is terrific.
