Watch: Are "The Good Wife" Stars Satisfied With Series Finale?

If there is one overall truth that applies to all TV shows it is that a series finale will never please everybody. TV finales are a fickle business, sometimes even leaving the stars to desire something more. Did The Good Wife's?

"I am incredibly satisfied with the ending," Cush Jumbo, Lucca Quinn on The Good Wife and a self-professed fan of the show prior to joining for season seven. "I didn't feel like anything had been stolen from me, I wasn't bereft. I felt satisfied and kind of curious as to what would've happened to those people in the future."

Series star Julianna Margulies, that's Alicia Florrick to Good Wife fans, told E! News she was happy with the ending, but she's not sure how it will come together. "I know what I shot and I know what I read on the page," she told us at the series finale party. "How it ends up on screen, I can't take any responsibility for that."

Matt Czuchry, who has played Cary Agos on the show since its start, said fans should take solace in knowing they will get some closure. "What I liked about it is everything comes full circle," he told us.

Hmmm…Let Christine Baranski expand on that further: "The people I think who really get the show, who really understand the best of what this show is will totally get it," she said.
