“The Good Wife” is one of my favorite shows on television, a perfect blend of great acting, compelling plotlines, and rich, fantastic characters.

It all crystalized for me during last night’s episode, however. It’s in the eyes. Everyone looks at each other in this show with soft, bedroom-y eyes, even in the most asexual scenes. It doesn’t matter what words are coming out of their mouths, their eyes are always saying, “What time do you get off? I could really use some help removing my panties.”
