The Good Wife Season 1 DVD Box Set - 6 Discs, PAL Region 4 Import (Australia) - Perfect for Home Entertainment & TV Show Collectors

The good wife is a masterpiece that captures the moral dilemmas that surround professionals in the 21st century work environment. There is a clear understanding of right and wrong. There is conscience that desires to do what is considered "right". However the complexity of individual's lives and themultifaceted circumstances that can arise make black and white decisions less evident, as well as less honest at times.There is a search for the return of a simpler morale format when religion determined strict guidelines for right and wrong. Yetreligion, although ardently grasped by several of the main characters shows us a side of faith that can be deemed as brainwashing, as witnessed in the forced prayer session the daughter receives from her girlfriend. The son's study partner, Becca is the temptress. The symbolic lure of negative behavior.The viewer also notes the use of religion as a political ploy or as a reflection of clergy's own ego.There appears to be a liberal bias in trying to show the postmodern family's effort to take part in religious ceremonies that are not there own nor that they understand. Eli Gold's flippant suggestion to have Yom Kippur break the fast dinner at Peter's house is not really believable. All the inquiries into religion make religion itself appear overly shallow but having said that I think it also reflected this historic eras discontent with today's reflection of the spiritual nature in human beings and the stirring of a search for a new definition of God or ritual.The good wife shows love to be both passionate and responsible in nature. It is a binding force in families while complicated in adult relationships. The family stereotypes have certainly been revamped. The nurturing grandmother is now viewed as a political manipulator. The children are often the parents to the parents with much more knowledge and responsibility as well as power than they have ever cultivated before.Office intrigue is not lacking and one is stimulated to assess whether the ends justifies the means. There is an underlying instruction in law and politics. The show in captivating and moves quickly from one situation to the next while maintaining a continuity of mental exploration. The character development is deeper than in most tv shows which lends to familiarity and affinity with the players human problems. You work through the morale and personal issues with the characters and are never sure of what they will decide or whether you will agree with them.It is a challenging show and worth the watching. It makes one think on many issues relating to personal character, loyalty, good citizenship, race relations, family priorities. It makes the viewer think.
