My love of TV crime drama stems from the ‘70s. In fact, the only time I was allowed to stay up past my bedtime was for the “Mystery Movie” that alternated between “Columbo,” “McCloud,” “McMillan & Wife,” and “Banacek” (all my faves!)…and only because my Dad and I both loved the fledgling TV crime drama genre!
To me, the beginning of the pilot seemed reminiscent of “Columbo” in that the killer is seen committing the crime at the beginning of the episode and then we see how the investigator (here it’s an outsider-lawyer) connects the dots while getting under the skin of everyone around them. Nostalgia for that TV era means I’ll stay put for this!
Besides, I enjoy Carrie Preston in this type of role as I think she does quirky genius very well.

Great, spectacular review and personal information that supports it. Whilst we did not like Poker Face (other than the first episode, which was the meat of the series and the rest felt silly — to us) we LOVED this one. How excellent is it to see Carrie Preston getting some real recognition?
