Written by Turk, Perfect Citizen centers on the former general counsel for the NSA who, after his involvement as a whistleblower in an international scandal, embarks on a new career at a storied law firm in Boston. Once there, he must face the reality that half the country thinks he’s our greatest patriot, the other half thinks he’s a traitor. CBS Television Studios, where Turk and his Thinking Hat Prods. are under an overall deal, is the studio.
Turk, a former attorney, joined The Good Wife after setting shop at CBS TV Studios in 2012, originally as a consulting producer and later as an executive producer. He emerged as a trusted No.2 and heir apparent to The Good Wife creators Robert and Michelle King, tipped to succeed them as showrunner should the series had continued beyond seven seasons.
