Review by Wintershope

Gave up on network shows quite a while ago, especially comedies. I did not find the majority of them to be funny and dramas, seemed to me, to be formulaic. Based on the success of The Good Wife and The Good Fight, dramas, not comedies, I will now watch them. Therefore, I was not familiar with Elsbeth as a reoccurring character on either of the shows. I'm familiar with Carrie Preston and I think she is a fantastic actress.

Decided to watch Elsbeth solely because of Carrie Preston and I was pleasantly surprised that I really liked the show and will continue watching it. I like that we are shown how the crime happened at the beginning of an episode. Carrie's voice is unique and I got used to it quickly, it fits the characters personality. There has been terrific actors making guest appearances in each episode to support the great cast. My hope is that the show will be picked up for a second season and that the writing gets better, based on reviewers comments.
