I am glad you love it too.
But, nooooooooo......it’s absolute sacrilege to compare it to the Good Wife.
Maxine Peake is awesomely dysfunctional and carries the show without having anything resembling a typical romantic plot line (in contrast to the Good Wife and most of the shows on American TV with a female lead).
It’s partly why Borgen and Forbrydelsen are also so awesome — you have really strong (and vulnerable) women who are protagonists in riveting stories that don’t have a significant male (or female for that matter) romantic interest.
Okay, I’ll get off my soapbox right about now.
