Didn't watch many of the American episodes of the Good Wife but I'm convinced this was a better crisper version. Of course the ending could be debated. What isl a Good Wife? But I thought the ending was apropos to the situation since contested divorces could become dirty and everyone was in a position that would be harmed by pursing that route. My favorite line in Jurassic Park "Life finds a way" I believe love found a way in this drama and it was satisfying to see a strong woman rise out of the ashes to achieve her goals and ambitions.
