What is The Good Pod?

Rewatching The Good Wife? Start anywhere. We've recapped every episode in order since the pilot — 166 and counting.

Jason Reed and Marissa Garza work through the entire Robert and Michelle King universe: The Good Wife, Elsbeth, and The Good Fight. One episode at a time, in order, no skipping. The cases, the firm implosions, the Alicia and Diane of it all — plus the details you missed the first time and the ones you only catch on a rewatch.

Alicia Florrick, Diane Lockhart, Kalinda Sharma, Eli Gold, Will Gardner, Elsbeth Tascioni. If you have opinions about any of them, you're in the right place.

New episodes every Monday. Elsbeth recaps every week the show is airing.

Also from us: The Gilded Pod, covering HBO's The Gilded Age — separate feed, same hosts.
