Resumen
Reviewers say 'Elsbeth' is often likened to 'Columbo', with praise for Carrie Preston's quirky lead character. The show's charm and engaging premise are highlighted, though some find the formulaic plots and early reveals of the murderer less compelling. The supporting cast and guest stars are commended, but there's a call for stronger writing and more complex mysteries. Mixed opinions exist on pacing, making 'Elsbeth' a fun yet improvable series.

It starts with the murder. Once a body is discovered, the quirky "detective" makes "friends" with the murderer by asking advice of him or her. Even when the murderer finds the detective annoying. The detective lets on that the murderer is, in fact, the prime subject by telling him or her every new piece of evidence that is discovered. The murderer will often admit to the crime confident there is not enough evidence to convict. But of course there is. The murderer is often a person of wealth or influence. It's still a very cute show, both my wife and I enjoy it. It's just not original. But what is anymore.
I WANTED to love Elsbeth, I loved her in The Good Wife/Fight and loved Carrie Preston in everything from True Blood to Claws and this show wastes her talent and sullies her character. The writing/plotlines are so unbelievable, they're insulting. As an attorney, Elsbeth would gather little snippets of info and file away things that people said and look at things several different ways. As a second-rate Columbo, she meets the killer and apparently just gets a feeling that they are the killer and it's so clumsily done, it makes me miss a 50 year old show like Columbo. Do better guys...Carrie Preston, Wendell Pierce and Elsbeth deserve it!
I am a big fan of the Kings, and when the character Elsbeth was introduced in The Good Wife and reappeared in The Good Fight, she was entertaining and refreshing. She had an off-the-wall courtroom presence. When you first saw her on a case, you figured her defence was doomed to fail. But then she came up with a twist or re-interpretation of the facts that made all the difference. She was not in every episode of either series, and that kept her from becoming cloying.
But now the Kings feel that she merits a show of her own, and that is becoming too much of what was a good thing in smaller doses. The episodes are feeling repetitive, and things are not helped by portraying the crime (and the criminal) in the initial minutes. The rest of the show just becomes filler - how does this wacky person figure out what we already know?
Sorry, but this just doesn't measure up to the expectations that were created by Elsbeth's earlier (and occasional) appearances.

This show is fun,it's columbo 2.0 but with a goofier columbo. Like columbo,she immediately knew who did it in episode number one. I love the humor and goofiness of Arlene. Lol (sorry,couldn't resist) the show is refreshing and reminds me of the greats in my day. Columbo,McCloud,Hart to Hart,McMillion and Wife and so forth. Only 1/2 way through first episode and definitely hooked. I hope the writing holds up,it gets an audience and runs for a long time. It's really rare we get a show the last few years that's not trying to push some agenda on me. I will definitely be watching every episode. Give it a try.
Robert & Michelle King are the talented writing duo responsible for some of the best network TV shows in recent years, including "The Good Wife" and "Evil." After ending "The Good Fight," 2024 brings us yet another such spinoff of "The Good Wife," one named for that show's kooky lawyer character named "Elsbeth." The Leap Day pilot episode sets up the show's clever premise: that her title character has been designated an impartial observer of the NYPD in a formal legal consent decree to hopefully ferret out any police corruption in the ranks. But in the meantime she cannot help but help those hapless officers solve their trickiest cases. Like Columbo's classic show, we are privy to the perpetrator's machinations, but get pleasure from observing the observer, Elsbeth, investigate and determine those guilty of the crime(s). Carrie Preston is outstanding in the lead role, and Wendell Pierce excels in the role of the NY Police Captain, who may or may not be on the straight and narrow himself. I'll revisit my rating of 8/10 stars as we proceed.

- TriviaIn the first episode, Elsbeth is standing near a curb and gets splashed by a passing car driving through a puddle (a clip that was also heavily used in the promotion for the show). Instead of reacting with anger or disgust (as a more stereotypical New Yorker might, and as Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw does in the opening credits for Sex and the City), she looks absolutely overjoyed. In an April 2024 Washington Post interview with Carrie Preston, journalist Emily Yahr explained Preston's thought process behind the reaction: "Preston read the script and knew exactly how to play the scene where she gets soaked by the car. Obviously, Elsbeth is a huge Sex and the City fan, and therefore thrilled to experience a Carrie Bradshaw moment in New York. 'I decided that Elsbeth would find that absolutely 100 percent delightful,' Preston said in a recent interview on set in Brooklyn. On the show, Elsbeth has just moved from The Good Wife's universe of Chicago to work as a court-mandated legal observer of the New York Police Department-and she is truly dazzled by all the Big Apple has to offer. 'She's like, "Yes, I'm here, I've been splashed . . . I'm a New Yorker!"'"
- ErroresTascioni is Italian for "Big Pockets," and is pronounced "tah-SHO-nee," not "tass-ee-O-nee." Tascioni is NOT Italian for "big pockets". That would be "Tasconi". The pronunciation of Tascioni is indeed "tah-SHO-nee," not "tass-ee-O-nee." Tascioni has actually no meaning in Italian.
