Probably my most favorite scene in the show is when the show’s version of Google is showing the judge a cartoonish presentation about how a search engine works. The judge, an old man with a hearing aid, looks confused. The audience is meant to think the concept of "this newfangled thing” baffles the old man. Then he turns to the Chumhum lawyer and asks if this presentation is a demonstration on a pattern-based search algorithm. The lawyer is taken aback but says yes. The judge then tells them to stop the presentation, since there’s no jury and he understands the concept pretty well. His confusion was because of the cartoonish way it was all being presented. There’s a lesson for everyone: just because someone is old doesn’t mean they don’t keep up do date with new developments. And the judge may have a background in computer science.

When asked what he does for a living, the pilgrim replies that he’s a warp field theorist and starts asking complex questions. Trip sighs with relief and gets down to business

I've talked to a couple of people who served on juries. In one case a juror refused to convict a drunk driver because "it's fine to drive after a few beers, done it myself plenty of times" and "I have his back on this". Nothing anybody said about the law or the evidence affected him in the slightest, he wouldn't listen to it or even discuss it - he just said a flat "no" to anything anybody said to him On the other side, on guy said several of his fellow jurors voted guilty purely because "the police wouldn't have arrested him if he wasn't guilty."

Listening to all parties and look at the evidence instead is generally a better idea when you are in real life control of other peoples lives.

I think the idea is that Liar, Liar was primarily a comedy, so certain leeway was given for the truly absurd outbursts, but the law-specific details were fairly accurate. The Good Wife is a drama, and the legal details they got wrong weren't necessary to the drama, i.e. weren't excusable because there was no other good way to tell the story in the existing format. On the other hand, strict legal realism isn't critical to the drama either, which is why it's still a great show, but Legal Eagle is evaluating legal realism, not overall quality.

I loved this show and binge watched it. It was very creative because, since it was network TV, it was restricted from use of the same kind of language, etc., a show like The Sopranos was able to use, so the writers and directors had to get clever. As far as its realism, I’m a retired attorney and judge. It was more accurate than most TV lawyer shows. It accurately captured a lot of the office politics that goes on in large A-rated prestigious law firms. However, the snarkiness of a lot of the judges was a bit too much and not befitting appropriate demeanor on the Bench.. But the big problem was there were a lot of conflicts of interest that wouldn’t be allowed or encouraged in real life. But The Good Wife was an entertaining and dramatic show, so it actually doesn’t matter to me.

I enjoyed your review. Keep in mind that in order to write a compelling TV show they have to take liberties; for example, if they took as long as a normal trial the TV audience would change the channel. Same with recalling witnesses: they just have to, in order to bring the story to its conclusion in 48 minutes. I also notice in other episodes the lawyers asking leading questions of their own witnesses, as well as "testifying" (like Alicia did in this one by introducing the videotapes). Again, needed in order to get the story told in 48 minutes. That said, I've watched all seven seasons and it is THE BEST legal drama ever.

Seeing the prosecutor repeatedly saying "objection" every other word during the Main Character's examination of the witness made me wonder; has there ever been a case where a defense attorney or prosecution just keeps saying "objection" to try to stall the trial or get the examiner to give up in asking further questions? Would a Judge even allow such a thing?

The context is, that Alicia has just returned to the job after years of being a stay at home mother. This first episode is mainly set up to portray her struggle to find her way back into the job. I think it's not too far fetched that a person would maybe struggle a bit in this situation and I'd guess that this also happens in real live. Of course it's a little exaggerated here, to make it clear to the viewer what's happening. But laywers are people like everyone else and will propably get insecure in certain moments, just like everybody else. Actually I followed the Jonny Depp trial and there were quiet a few moments where lawyers got a little worked up in a situation and had trouble to phrase their objections or questions in the right way.

I always found The Good Wife to be the most accurate legal drama (total opposite to that BS Suits) especially when it comes to portraing the dynamics in the law firms (when it comes to career, hierarchy and becoming a partner) and new developments of the law (they had many cases that were discussing very new and very relevant cases). Really glad you made this reaction video, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Matlock. Not really I just liked the show

Any scene from Better Call Saul, in particular Chuck's hearing, would be great so would The Punisher's trial from Daredevil. More unorthodox would be Rumpole of the Bailey, an old law show by the BBC. It's British law rather than American so it would be interesting to see how what differences and similarities arise.

I'd love to see the Eagle's take on UK court dress traditions. This Canadian really fails to see the point of it beyond dogged tradition.

Please do Law and Order. Any of them would do, except maybe Special Victims Unit which was really like an old fashioned detective show.

I am seriously happy you made this video! One of my favourite series.

Wow. Love your reaction videos. I truly appreciate you breaking down the technical terms into layman, less complicated and very sensible ways. Also thank you for sharing your insights about the different scenes. I'm a simple housewife, so when I watch The Good wife, all I see is whether the innocent would get their due justice and how far their lawyers can help them and how smart their arguments are made. But your reaction videos makes it clear which are facts from fiction. Thank you Mr. Stone, this is very captivating and educational at the same time. Warm regards, from Hong Kong

Man, I’d really love him to revisit the show. I obviously don’t know for sure, but I’ve always gotten the sense that it only gets more accurate to real law as time goes by. I’d love to see him do an episode from later in the show. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, so I can’t think of any particular ones, but still.

Hi! Two of my favourite "Bones" episodes are courtroom centered: "The Verdict in the story" , episode 13 of season 3, and "The Boy with the answer", season 5 episode 21. I would love it if you could react on the veracity of one or both of these trial proceedings from the show.

I really love your content. You're an incredibly gifted attorney and even better educator. I feel very involved in your videos and you do not speak to us like we are dumb. You deserve more subscribers than your currently have and I wish you the best.

You should do Better Call Saul specifically about Jimmy's solo practice at the beginning of the series, the law firm in the show Hamlin Hamlin McGill and episode 305 "Chicanery" which features a BAR hearing.

"You don't want to come off as a crotchety, old person" I don't know, man. I know a judge that is just like that. He loves to watch lawyers quake.

I'm glad I remembered this video. I got through my Law and Order backlog (as much of it as I wanted to watch over three series) and got started on this. The rapid objections without explanation threw me for a loop so I'm grateful for the explanations. I'm too used to having them spelled out for me in other shows.

I loved this reaction serie of yours. I need more of it.

So glad you did this show! Have you ever considered discussing your opinions on the Steven Avery case (as shown in the Netflix series, "Making a Murderer")? That would be an interesting watch!

I always saw it scrolling through stations, but the title is so bland, and boring I never turned it on. I honestly thought it was one of those housewives shows or, some type of cheesy sitcom. You'd never expect a show called "The Good Wife" to be a well produced, fairly accurate, courtroom drama. People judge a book by it's cover when there's thousands of options.

Check out the original Lawyer Reacts videos where I take on A Few Good Men, SUITS, My Cousin Vinny, Erin Brockovich, 12 Angry Men and and tons more: goo.gl/HxaaNk Also, if you’re looking for a new suit, I HIGHLY recommend BlackLapel (all my suits are custom BlackLapel): go.magik.ly/ml/f78n/

You should do a video discussing Jury Nullification, if your legally allowed to. It would make a great video and is something the general public does not know about. It is also one of the strongest forms of checks and balances we as private citizens have against unjust laws. I do realize if you make it known in the jury pool that you understand nullification then you will not be chosen for jury duty, but you could go over ways to get around that as well since it would be practically impossible for a prosecutor to prove. I think the hung jury issue in this episode of the good wife is a pretty spot on example of jury nullification. You actually went over it somewhat in this video without calling it by name, so I'm guessing it's not illegal for you to discuss but I'm an business owner not a lawyer so could be wrong. p.s. OBJECTION! There are countless examples of prosecutors going after people for crimes the did not commit or refusing to prosecute others due to politics or personal bigotry. Most from before the 60s mind you, but we see it continue today with the unjust persecution of drug users. If prosecutors cared about justice and morality, they would not be enabling the kidnapping of innocent people. p.p.s Love your KZread channel , it almost makes me want to become a defense lawyer. Then I think about how stupid the BAR association/union is and forget about it.

That's the first I ever heard about that Greg, good to know the legal system in some places has stopped trying to cover up the powers a jury holds. Everyone who sits on a jury should know about and understand Jury Nullification, we could do so much good by nullifying unjust laws through jury trials. It really is sad most trials never go to a jury. Justice in the legal system is so rare, it's almost at the point of being as big of a myth as unicorns.

22:45 Objection! While it's true they don't happen often at all, they do happen. When I first started working security, I was placed on a site that suddenly had quite a few openings because an entire shift had been removed. We had these electronic wands and little circles at different areas on site to tag with the wand. The wand would send the date, time, and circle tagged back to the computer. One shift had collected a copy of the tags and one person at the desk would tag them off while the rest of the shift just hung out. It took a field supervisor deciding to randomly check on them to figure it out, and security cameras verified. It's even easier when there's one person on a night shift. I worked at one site that had all sorts of issues with the night shift. The site sup finally talked the contract manager into talking the client into having two employees on night shift for the next contract negotiation, and only then did issues stop. It was pretty crazy.

Am i the only one that thinks that the show is so boring?

That trial, especially the first trial scene, brought back some bad memories. I had a mock trial like that, once, though I was the defense attorney and I was the one objecting every 10 seconds. Practically every question the prosecution asked was leading or argumentative. I lost track of how many objections i made that were sustained, though I remember only one was overruled. Because of that, the prosecution had a really hard time making a coherent case, and despite the evidence all pointing to the defendant's guilt, I got an acquittal. It was really frustrating, because all I was doing was trying to get due process for an obviously-guilty defendant, but the prosecution fumbled so badly that my mock client got off scot-free. The saddest part was that the prosecution had two mock lawyers, while I was alone, and they BOTH did the same thing.

Please, make more reactions to The Good wife episodes! I subscribed immediately to this channel. It's great!

Objection!: I'm still dying to listen to you talk about Night Court... *crosses fingers* and thanks for your work (hoping you get your billable hours... because: "whispers": *indochino*)

I think the judge was slightly belligerent towards the prosecution at the end due to how the prosecution was yelling at the judge at the beginning of the trail in judges quarters it goes to what you said about don't piss off your judge lol.
