- TriviaIn the first episode, Elspeth 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!"'"
Featured review
I love this character!
If you loved Elsbeth on The Good Wife or The Good Fight, you'll really love her here, on her own show. I was thrilled when this show was announced and it did not disappoint.
The Kings have done a masterful job of continuing Elsbeth's quirky character. The show most definitely has a Columbo feel to it, as the who-dunnit part is revealed to the viewer early in the show. As always with the Kings, the writing is fantatic!
And let's talk about Carrie Preston. She is just spectacular as Elsbeth. She has now played this character for over 14 years over three different shows and I can't but smile every single time she's on the screen. Ten stars from me!
