Any fans of the show? This season, Alicia's turned into one of the most unlikeable characters around. The constant effing whining and pining for a guy who changed from "you're the love of my life" to "screw you, I'm taking your clients" with the flip of a switch.
I just got into this show a couple months since it was finally something my girlfriend and I could agree on to watch together. I really like it so far and we are on season 4.
Josh Charles' leaving put the Kings in a bind creatively, but they do such a good job with recurring characters and dialogue that it's still a worthwhile product. Seasons five and six started out great, I think the musical chairs last season got a little stupid. Alicia's losing it is just realistic character development after alienating or cutting off everyone around her, justifiably or not.
Her character is all over the place since Season 5. I have no idea if it's by design because of Will, but it's pretty effing annoying. I feel like I'm watching a schizophrenic sometimes. She makes a grandstanding speech about how she hates Peter, and then the next episode, they are all good. Damn annoying. You get vested in the development in one episode, and then the writers flush it away next episode

It's been my favorite TV drama but I'm good with it ending. Shows that go on too long always run out of story. It's the new 'Mini-series' trend, and a good one, for shows to run four to six seasons and have a ending. Then they move to Netflix and Hulu where you can do the whole thing an a reasonable amount of time.
It's a great show, but when Josh Charles quit on them it threw the show into a mess. They've been trying to find solid footing ever since and they never could quite find it. The presidential race was silly, Alicia's character swings have been ridiculous, etc.
I dont have cable going on 4 years. When first not having cable i discovered this show. It was in syndication on CBS on Sunday night. Now its on 2.4 on the satellite antenna. Its amazing how compelling it is. I thought giving up cable i gave up great drama. Not at all. I haven't seen every episode. For some reason i stopped watching after Charles's character was killed off, i thought that was the series finale
