## Key points

- A Mexican remake of *The Good Wife* arrives on Netflix.
- Fernanda Castillo’s lead performance is the review’s main strength.
- The reviewer recommends streaming it.

## Summary

Netflix’s Mexican legal drama *Alicia’s Law* reworks the premise of *The Good Wife*, following a woman who rebuilds her life and career after her husband’s public scandal and arrest. The review recommends streaming it, chiefly because Fernanda Castillo makes Alicia resourceful and easy to root for.

Alicia Paniagua’s husband, a judge, is exposed in a viral video and arrested on corruption charges, leaving the family without access to their assets. Alicia, who graduated from law school 20 years earlier, joins an old friend’s Mexico City firm as a probationary junior associate and takes on a case involving a celebrity accused of causing a cyclist’s death while driving drunk. The review praises Castillo and Yoshira Escárrega, while noting that the supporting characters have yet to show the wit and depth of the original series.
