The Good Wife: Alicia Florrick
Jul. 18th, 2011 07:36 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
I went to the dentist today, seems like a good day to post some pictures. You see, there was that huge "getting to know you" post on
game_thrones, with various questions like favourite books and films and characters. My favourite ever character has always been Miss Marple, ever since I was 12. I want to be Miss Marple when I grow up.
I had a good time filling the questionnaire, but as soon as I posted it I remembered that I have forgotten Alicia Florrik, the lead character from "The Good Wife:" series. So when I was at the dentist, I kept thinking that I must make a post about Alicia. I love Alicia so much that it is personal for me, there is just something in her character, so strong but so vulnerable at the same time that strikes a chord with me. I hope Julianna Margulies will get an Emmy for her role this year, and I am glad that Josh Charles was nominated as well (I have never expected him to be such a good actor, he delivered a very nuanced performance in the series).
The Good Wife is also such a fabulously female-oriented show, and I love both Khalinda and Diane , especially Diane. And generally, as a show, it is very well-written and acted.










PS : If anyone knows where to find any of The Good Wife icons, please let me know. I have been wanting some for ages. It is a odd thing, though - something like Game of Thrones seems to have huge amounts of icons everywhere, but I haven't seen much of The Good Wife ones.
PS 2: There is not many male characters that I want to stab with a rusty knife as much as I want to do this to Peter Florrik, Alicia's husband.

Date: 2011-07-18 08:12 pm (UTC)But yes! The Good Wife is the only show I'm reeeeally dying to come back on the air. So good. Always such a good, satisfying watch, and thankfully whilst being a legal procedural show, it's not all about the law.

Date: 2011-07-21 10:55 pm (UTC)I enjoy the female-oriented view point (in this vein I can recommend the show Rizzoli and Isles as well) and so far the writing and acting has been great, and very well casted too, some great actresses and actors.
I have some more thoughts up about it at my journal, so instead of repeating myself here I’ll just point you over there if you want to read it.
