* BadInfluencer: A couple episodes during Grace's conversion to Christianity in season 2 have her following an Internet video evangelical who among other things uses [[QuoteMine a lot of rapid-fire Bible quotations out of context]] and pushes the Afrocentrist hypothesis that Jesus was black (the logic goes roughly "Middle-Easterner, therefore not European, therefore black").

* BewareTheQuietOnes: Lemond Bishop, middle name 'Do Not Fuck With'. His status as a ScaryBlackMan is only amplified by the fact that Creator/MikeColter rarely raises his voice (one of the few times was when [[spoiler:Kalinda threatened to have Child Services take away Dylan]]), and when he's visibly angry he goes into TranquilFury. Bishop's known for a fact to have had his own people killed on mere suspicion they might be informing on him.

* FunWithAcronyms: After Stern leaves and Bond joins, the firm Lockhart, Gardner & Bond shortens to LGB. After they force Bond out and become just Lockhart & Gardner again, Will tries out "L.G." to sound more modern, but it just confuses people and he goes back to traditional nomenclature (possibly because L.G. is also a major electronics brand).
Added DiffLines:
* GenreDeconstruction: Of {{law procedural}}s. Rather than use the traditional "heroes and villains" tropes common in the genre, nearly every lawyer in the series is an AmoralAttorney, in the technical sense that they'll do whatever they have to in order to get their client the best possible result, [[PunchClockVillain without necessarily being a bad person off the clock]]. The series also deals heavily with the workplace politics inherent to having lots of ambitious and highly educated people with necessarily flexible morals having to cooperate, as well as the fact that most law firms are for-profit businesses and therefore, like it or not, can't always afford to take the side of the underdog. Cary's character arc in particular shows what can happen with people who actively dislike office politics and prefer to have moral clarity in their work: [[spoiler:in the final season he ends up thoroughly disillusioned with the legal profession after one fight too many with his partners, and resigns from the firm to take a teaching job]].

Dejected by this, he goes to Alicia and confesses that he had deleted Will's voicemail LoveConfession to her back in "[[Recap/TheGoodWifeS2E01TakingControl Taking Control]]" to keep an affair from jeopardizing Peter's run for State's Attorney, and apologizes for ruining things for her. Alicia's response is to take the wine glass out of his hand and quietly tell him to GetOut.
