This is a modern take on the classic Columbo, with some minor changes. The criminals in Columbo was smarter, and watching Columbo finding the clues was interesting. In Elsbeth the criminals are not as smart, and the actual police is not only incompetent they are refusing to let Elsbeth help when she obviously does the job for them, that makes no sense. The point where Elsbeth shines is in how happy and easy going the show is thanks to its main character, smiles are contagious and watching it makes me smile and there really are to few of those shows. That really is the brilliance of the show and what makes me wanna watch more of it. I hope it will get lots of episodes and lots of seasons, this is a format that can continue forever and I'll keep waiting for the next one.
Massive disappointment This is full formula. Every episode a carbon copy of the last. Starts with showing you who the murderer is, then Elsbeth walks straight up to them and after a bit of messing about the police walk in and make the arrest. Exact same every time to the point where I know what's going to happen before I even start watching it Elsbeth was a great character in The Good Wife / Fight, she deserved better than this
I liked her character a lot in The Good Wife, but having a whole show with her is just too much. I found the episodes got very annoying quickly, so I gave up after 3 shows.
The character of Elsbeth is fantastic but the legal maneuvering in the Good Wife was much more interesting and well written than this Monk wanna be. Carrie Preston is great but the show needs more sophisticated writers. I wish they would go back to the legal intrigue because the suspension of disbelief that Elsbeth would be the detective is too much. I hope it gets better because this character is wonderful.
Maybe because I didn't know anything about this show, and because of that I had no expectations. But I loved it. This is a spin off of the Good Fight, and that was a spin off of the Good Wife. I hope people like this and the show keeps getting good. The King couple did it again in my book, a great TV Show.
