<P> The finale episode of The Good Wife: "End" had a divided reaction among viewers and critics, with many praising a fitting ending to a complex character with others who argued of its ambiguity and absence of a conclusion - particularly with Alicia's love life . The finale drew controversy in its last scene when Diane Lockhart slaps Alicia Florrick after betraying her in court to save Peter from jail . Alicia is then left alone in a hallway before walking away to a future of uncertainty regarding her relationship with Jason, her career and political life . Vanity Fair noting "As Breaking Bad famously tracked the evolution of Walter White "from Mr. Chips to Scarface," The Good Wife followed Alicia as she evolved into Peter . The Kings claim the show was "moving in the direction where there wasn't much difference between who Alicia was and who her husband was ." Is Alicia a villain or an anti-hero? It's hard to quite see her that way after all the good she's done for so many seasons . But the inclusion of Will Gardner in the finale momentarily humanizes Alicia while also highlighting the idea that Alicia's transformation into Peter has been a longtime coming ." and claiming that "The show's incredible finale belongs to an earlier age of television ." Emily Nussbaum of The New Yorker said "it was an ending that commanded respect ." </P> <P> The ensemble cast of The Good Wife had been praised as "one of the best casts in television, and it was supplemented with an awe - inspiring array of guest stars--one way for the Kings to flaunt the advantages of a network budget . Half the cast of The Wire passed through its halls, as did more Broadway stars than there are in heaven," although at the end of the series the guest stars were increasingly placed in "throwaway roles ." However, with the exit of male lead Josh Charles (who played Will Gardner) in season five, Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya of The A.V. Club opined that the show's "writers really struggled to rebuild that same type of long - term emotional storytelling . His departure left a gap that was never fully filled again ." While reviewers acknowledged that Charles' departure was inevitable (and praised how Will was written off dramatically), they questioned decisions made by the writers for seasons six and seven that further hurt the show . Archie Panjabi's portrayal of Kalinda Sharma was well - regarded during the first three seasons, but Sonia Saraiya of Salon felt that her character ended up sidelined by a much - criticized plotline in seasons four to six, amid a rumored rift between Panjabi and producer Julianna Margulies where they didn't share any screen time for their final 50 episodes . In season seven, longtime stalwarts like Cary Agos and Diane Lockhart were reportedly marginalized to irrelevance with a lack of compelling storylines, in favor of promoting new characters like Lucca Quinn and Jason Crouse . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Season </Th> <Th> Episodes </Th> <Th> Timeslot (ET) </Th> <Th_colspan="3"> Original airing </Th> <Th> Rank </Th> <Th> Viewers (in millions) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Season premiere </Th> <Th> Season finale </Th> <Th> TV season </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> 23 </Td> <Td> Tuesday 10: 00 pm </Td> <Td> September 22, 2009 </Td> <Td> May 25, 2010 </Td> <Td> 2009--10 </Td> <Th> No. 18 </Th> <Th> 13.12 </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> 23 </Td> <Td> September 28, 2010 </Td> <Td> May 17, 2011 </Td> <Td> 2010--11 </Td> <Th> No. 16 </Th> <Th> 13.00 </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> 22 </Td> <Td> Sunday 9: 00 pm </Td> <Td> September 25, 2011 </Td> <Td> April 29, 2012 </Td> <Td> 2011--12 </Td> <Th> No. 26 </Th> <Th> 11.83 </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> 22 </Td> <Td> September 30, 2012 </Td> <Td> April 28, 2013 </Td> <Td> 2012--13 </Td> <Th> No. 27 </Th> <Th> 10.98 </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 5 </Th> <Td> 22 </Td> <Td> September 29, 2013 </Td> <Td> May 18, 2014 </Td> <Td> 2013--14 </Td> <Th> No. 23 </Th> <Th> 11.43 </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 6 </Th> <Td> 22 </Td> <Td> September 21, 2014 </Td> <Td> May 10, 2015 </Td> <Td> 2014--15 </Td> <Th> No. 22 </Th> <Th> 12.17 </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> 7 </Th> <Td> 22 </Td> <Td> October 4, 2015 </Td> <Td> May 8, 2016 </Td> <Td> 2015--16 </Td> <Th> No. 27 </Th> <Th> 10.84 </Th> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Season </Th> <Th> Episodes </Th> <Th> Timeslot (ET) </Th> <Th_colspan="3"> Original airing </Th> <Th> Rank </Th> <Th> Viewers (in millions) </Th> </Tr>
