Like the hit "Mad Men," wildly popular "The Good Wife" has taken up the theme of self-hate. Of course, that's novel in the relatively emotionally simplified world of the small screen.
Peter's handler Gold has become smitten with illegal alien Flores. He first encountered her as Wendy's ex-nanny. It was useful for Gold to leak that Flores was in the U.S. illegally. However, he did feel a twinge of guilt. As his daughter noticed, there was chemistry between him and the alien.
The attraction continues. Gold's daughter deconstructs it as a pattern of Gold to fall in love toward the end stretch of a political campaign. He does this, she says, as "palate cleaning" a type of attempt to purify himself because he pulls so many dirty tricks during the campaign. The daughter goes so far as noting that Gold is a basket case of self-hate. There, the word is out there.
In "Mad Men," mess of personality Don Draper asks in bed for a woman to slap him. Because he took on the identity of a dead man during the Korean War, Draper is tormented. His attacks of self hate flare up now and then, throwing him into a panic attack.
Is the hot theme on the small screen slouching toward redemption?
