15 alone, 14 with a parent.
Alone, or with you
The official US rating is TV-14; we never go below it, and here we go above: 15. Alone from 15; from 14, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards. Our reading, episode by episode, refines that single number: seasons 1 and 5 read at 10, season 6 at the top, 15.
The sweet spot: around 15-18, the age at which you can follow a closing argument and the trial subjects, Epstein, militias, police violence, are things you have already heard of; at eighteen you argue about them. Why a sweet spot?
Official US rating: TV-14; zinema says 15. In France, zinema would say 15.

Picking up one year after the events of the final broadcast episode of "The Good Wife", an enormous financial scam has destroyed the reputation of a young lawyer, Maia Rindell, while simultaneously wiping out her mentor and godmother Diane Lockhart's savings. Forced out of her law firm, now called "Lockhart, Deckler, Gussman, Lee, Lyman, Gilbert, Lurie, Kagan, Tannebaum & Associates", they join Lucca Quinn at one of Chicago's preeminent law firms.
The season 6 murder and the Epstein episode deserve a sentence afterwards; otherwise the series can be followed alone at this age.
at 15 and up
Should a firm defend a client whose cause it detests, or pick its battles?
