I’m actually looking forward to this new drama. Had no idea she was getting her own series! She kinda got on my nerves when she would pop up on The Good Wife. This new series takes place in NYC, but we have to wait until February 29, 2024, to watch it. Going on my list.
loved her on good wife. glad to see her here. its like watching a puppy with advance chip in its brain.
Elsbeth Is more fun than a bag of bulldog puppies. Always thought she should have her own show. Such a unique character, who can put a smile on faces just with one of her expessions.
Way better & so much more fun than I thot this would be… and it’s only half way thru the 1st episode. I’m in for the foreseeable future!
If you say so I’m in.
Ohhh. Why did I watch this.
It was good. Intriguing, funny, paced expertly. Interesting characters and interactions.
Damn it, now I’m going to have to watch the series.
I really tried with this drama but another character that gets on my nerves.
I’m glad I watched based on y’alls recomendations. Elsbeth is a delight to watch. I also enjoy seeing all the cbs/fox actors/actresses (you know the ones who had cancelled cbs/fox shows).
Always loved this character. Can’t wait to see the rest of the series.
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.
It’s an inverted detective story. Most recently we’ve seen it with Poker Face, which I loved.
Me too!
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?
Carrie Preston would have been a great addition to the cast of “Eureka.”
I downloaded and watched the first season mostly because of the good comments here. But sadly I didn’t like this very much. Mostly because they showed who did it and how at the start of each episode. Which for me kind of takes the point out of a mystery. And also I didn’t really like the main character. She is quirky. So what. Nothing special about her cept she can point out kind of obvious things other people over look or ignore. Hard pass for me watching the 2nd season.
Who doesn’t love a genius, quirky character? There is something about being that smart while standing out in a crowd that people are just attracted to. Well, in this case the character of Elsbeth is great. She is brilliant, and has a style all her own. But, the rest of this show is very disappointing. I mean, the writing is for children and the weekly mysteries are almost juvenile. I was expecting writing that like of the show Columbo. That character was incredible intuitive and yet also quirky. This show however is beyond silly; its like it was written by children for children. There is absolutely nothing intelligent about this show.
She is quirky and devilish. She has kind of a gleam in her eyes that lets you know there is a lot going on behind them. She is witty, funny and possesses the wonder of a child and the disposition of someone I would like as a friend in real life. You learn from the beginning she has seen a lot but does not appear to let it darken her view of the world around her. So far the cast of characters come off as reasonable and for TV surprisingly realistic. We are patiently waiting for the next episode and hope the show continues to shine.
What a good wife she would be.. Bubbly and gay in bed and then one could use her as a hound in business.
I really love intelligent women. Most people just love to be told comfortable lies.. (and tell them self such) But even if lies really win many many times, the tool of admitting the truth, however it is (as a baseline at least), has a lot going for it. It has a nice quality of calm restful stability. What a wonder woman. I would marry her any day in the week. Wonder if she is still free?
Well.. I changed my mind.. I wouldn’t marry her. Every episode is the same. I don’t buy her perfect intuition like it is presented. Women that think like that about themself is scary. Also episode 5 is a plothole by it self.
