Am fost fan al acestei serii TV The Good Wife, si n-am putut sa-mi explic declinul show-ului incepand cu seria 4. Odata cu numirea actritei Julianna Margulies, ca producator al seriei, au inceput schimbarile majore care au dus la plecarea definitiva din serial pentru personajul Will si Kalinda. Primul a plecat cel mai probabil pentru ca scenariul excelent se transformase intr-o oda pentru caracterul Alicia, al actritei Julianna Margulies. Si Kalinda (actrita Archie Panjabi) a fost fortata sa plece de catre Julianna Margulies, datorita animozitati personale a acesteia cu Archie.
Este trist sa vezi o actrita de talia Christina Baranski, nefolosita la potential maxim, pentru ca toate liniile din scenariu sint scrise doar pentru o singura persoana : Julianna Margulies. Si mai trist este cand actorii decid cum trebuie scris un scenariu si orgoliul personal se reflecta in calitatea show-ului.
Imi este din ce in ce mai greu sa urmaresc The Good Wife si imi doresc ca cineva sa puna capat acestei mascarade TV. Pare ca acest lucru se va intampla in curand pentru ca creatorii si producatorii executivi ai seriei (Robert si Michelle King) au anuntat ca pleaca dupa seria 7.
Deadline:
CBS dropped a bombshell at TCA last week, revealing that The Good Wife creators/executive producers/showrunners Robert and Michelle King will be departing the series after the current seventh season. While not completely unexpected — the duo had publicly discussed a plan to do the show for 7 seasons — the move compounds the uncertain future of the series, which also faces the fact that the contracts of most of its original cast members, including star Julianna Margulies, are up.
CBS Entertainment president Glenn Geller was pretty confident that The Good Wife “can certainly continue” beyond the current seventh season, and producing studio CBS TV Studios has been working on a succession plan, with The Good Wife executive producer Craig Turk tipped to take over showrunner duties from the Kings after working under them for the past few seasons. But the confluence of the two things — cast’s contracts expiring and the Kings’ exit — certainly complicates plans for continuing the series. Robert and Michelle King have written every pivotal episode of The Good Wife and have earned all but one of the show’s major writing awards nominations.
I hear Margulies was joking when she told a room full of casting directors last night at the Artios Awards’ tribute to the Kings that “I’m unemployed come April, and I think you haven’t seen me in a while, at least not in person, so I thought I should show up.”
Margulies was not lying — she does not have a contract beyond Season 7 after only adding one extra year at a previous renegotiation. Alan Cumming also is said to have a one-year-deal as he has been doing short-term contracts, while Matt Czuchry is believed to be the only major Good Wife cast member signed for Season 8.
There hasn’t been much movement on negotiating new contracts with the actors that I’ve heard of but things are supposed to start moving soon, and a decision on whether the series will continue or not is expected to be made in the next few weeks so the show — the last broadcast drama to get major awards recognition — can get a proper sendoff. The decision will likely hinge on whether Emmy winner Margulies, who also is a producer on the show, would want to return, something that she certainly raised doubts about with her comments last night, jest or not.
Deci CBS isi exprima dorinta de a continua fara scenaristi, creatori si mare parte din cast-ul original. Capitanul Julianna Margulies ramine pe vaporul care se scufunda?
CBS ar putea face un one person show, sau si-ar putea reveni in fire si ar pune capat la un serial care insemna ceva in trecut.
