The Good Wife (TV Series) Waiting for the Knock (2012) User Reviews

A jam packed episode filled with Lemon Bishop, the Florrick's campaign scandal, and the Kalinda side story.

[marcusliou5 · 10/10 · 28 October 2012]

This was one of those unique Good Wife episodes that puts you on the edge of your seat. The way Alicia gets stuck with a dilemma really brings out the morality within her. This episode is considerably plot driven, it has no side story that don't relate to the story's main plot like most lawyer type episodes. I like how we get to see a different side of Lemon. He is not this scary drug-pin anymore. He is now a father. It really exemplifies how people can have two sides. Along with a very cryptic ending. This episode deserves a 10, by far one of the best this season. I have to fill the rest of this space. I have to fill the rest of this space.

EPISODE GRADE: B+ (MVP: Julianna Margulies)

Weak 4.5 **1/2

[edwagreen · 5/10 · 29 October 2012]

This particular episode was the weakest of all the shows that have been shown so far.

This episode was rather uneven with trying to cover too many stories at once.

Cary, Matt Czuchry, finally gets more dialogue to say and is promptly arrested and released in an attempt to get more information.

We're dealing with a drug dealer whose accountant is under investigation. Invariably, this investigation shall of course lead to the dealer itself. It's confusing to hear about his legal enterprises laundering money. Then, they're not exactly legal after all.

Eli Gold runs around like a chicken without a head in an attempt to quiet the scandal of Peter Florrick sleeping with a campaign aide, a big liar. With it all, Florrick wins the straw poll and the Chicago Democratic Party may be singing Happy Days are Here Again. As for this episode, you can't exactly sing that.

Alicia delivers her lines without interest. She is quite dull here.
