What I Like about The Good Wife so far

Been watching The Good Wife on Hallmark Channel, which was fine by me cos it's that or I wait to watch the whole season during the summer months.
The show is loosely based on the those American politician sex scandals: that about a wife of a disgraced civil servant (in this case - a State's Attorney) who has to go back to work while the husband is in jail to provide for their two kids. While it's not quite the David E. Kelley courtroom dramas that I've gotten used to, but one doesn't watch The Good Wife for the courtroom action, but what happens outside court.

That said, here's what I like about The Good Wife

• It's nice to watch Julianna Margulies post-ER and Chris Noth post-Law and Order and Sex in the City.
  
• Josh Charles - always a good reason, haha.
  
• The non courtroom drama - the kids hiding the photos and DVDs from their mother, etc etc.

My only snag about the show is that the show is set in Chicago, but filmed in New York. Wherever they're doing the outdoor shots... hello, Chicago is called the Windy City - where's the wind? Chicago winds are pretty blatant whenever Guiliana Rancic does her part of E! News by the Chicago River, but whenever the characters are outdoors, there's no gust of wind. What gives? The 'burbs no wind is it?

That side, it's not gonna stop me from watching the show. Can't wait to see Alan Cumming in the coming episodes.
