The complex way the CBS drama has turned out, it's become "The Wire's" worthy successor, argues Todd VanDerWerff. "In the latter half of its first season and especially its second season, 'The Good Wife' has grown beyond the simple legal drama crossed with a domestic drama it was during the pilot. It’s now a series that, like 'The Wire,' tells the story of the life and death of an American city, examines the ways systems corrupt and destroy people, and tosses dozens of compelling characters from all walks of life into the storytelling mixture."
