The Good Wife season 4 is back Monday October 22 on M-Net

Emmy Award-winner Julianna Margulies stars as a wife and mother who boldly assumes full responsibility for her family and re-enters the workforce after her husband’s very public sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail.

Pushing aside the betrayal and public humiliation caused by her husband, Peter, Alicia Florrick starts over by pursuing her original career as a defense attorney.

As a junior associate at a prestigious Chicago law firm, Alicia gains confidence with every case, transforming herself from embarrassed politician’s scorned wife to resilient career woman, essentially for the sake of her children, 14-year-old Zach and 13-year-old Grace. For the first time in years, Alicia trades in her identity as the “good wife” and takes charge of her own destiny.

In the season opener: Alicia goes on the offensive when Zach is targeted by an overzealous state trooper. Meanwhile, after her ex-husband tracked her down in last season’s finale, Kalinda decides to stand her ground rather than continue hiding.

Don’t miss the season 4 premiere of The Good Wife Monday 22 October 2012 at 9:30pm on M-Net (DStv channel 101).
