I started watching an American legal drama, The Good Wife. Its storyline focuses on Alicia whose husband has been imprisoned following a corruption including sex scandal. She quitted a reputed law firm to support her husband and two children 13 years ago but in this time she has to get a job to provide for her two children without husband's aid. In this situation, generally a wife tends to require divorce to a husband but she broke common sense. The situation remind me Hillary Clinton whose husband, President Bill Clinton was release sex scandal with his secret in the white house. She was a smart, strong and sacrificial woman. They, Clintons, ended up overcome slavering things and rebuilt their career continually.
I learned a new fact on the googling which the series was partly inspired by the Eliot Spitzer, NYC's pre-governor, prostitution scandal. I'm not interest in other's private life. But there can be another pleasure watching it compared to origin accident.
I quote by Nancy Franklin of the Newyorker's columnist
"There won't be any catharsis, any revenge, sweet or otherwise, fro Alicia, except in a courtroom, on behalf of their clients. But at least the next time she's in the spotlight it will be as a good lawyer, not a good wife."
If someone like legal drama, I recommend the good wife. I'm sure it'll be good.

But I do enjoy watching it in a TV show compared to real-life incidents.
