"The Good Wife's" exquisite season finale: There are plenty of reasons to watch CBS' "The Good Wife" -- sharp writing; unfussy acting; a savvy sense of what it's like to be a jaded political animal in Chicago -- but for me, it's mainly about the filmmaking. Last night's season finale "Closing Arguments" (spoiler alert for anyone who hasn't watched yet!) reminded me of why I fell in love with this show in the first place, and why I continue to watch it even when its ripped-from-the-headlines plots feel labored and its workplace soap opera tangents become too, well, soapy. Like the series as a whole, this episode -- directed by series co-creator Robert King, and cowritten with his wife and collaborator Michelle King -- is old fashioned in the best sense. Every scene is written, acted and directed with maximum intelligence and minimum fuss.
