Review of Death of a Client

I do enjoy the series The Good Wife, and thank Robert and Michelle King for creating it, but there were several times during this episode (written and directed by Robert King) when I was so intensely irritated that I thought I was going to start screaming. King apparently believes irritants make good drama, but I'm only 20 minutes in and I'm starting to feel I'll never watch the show again. Irritation 1 was the client who insisted on playing loud (faux) Bach over the top of dialogue. Irritation 2 was chicken-brained Stockard Channing giggling maniacally while operating a loud remote control toy car while Alicia was trying to explain to her that she and the children were in danger. Irritation 3 - the old man at the police station who kept coming closer to Alicia and singing while she was on the phone or in conversation with someone else. Irritation 4 Stockard Channing disregards Alicia's advice and takes Zach and Grace to wait in a bar. I'll finish the episode for the sake of giving King a chance, but this really could be the moment when the show jumps the shark.
