Each year the CBS’ drama makes it into my top five, but that’s traditionally as much love as I give the best show on network TV. That discrepancy had to change with ‘Hitting The Fan’ – an episode that single-handlely catapults The Good Wife into the upper echelons of TV drama with what may be one of the best hours of TV I’ve ever seen.
