After having waited so long to see Carrie Preston return as everyone's favorite Attorney cum Modern Day Columbo, "A Classic New York Character" does not disappoint. Linda Lavin's portrayal of Gloria Blecher is a true delight playing to our worst expectations of a Condo Board President and nosy neighbor. The writers of the episode include a number of plots and twists that the final ending is a very nice pay off. Carra Patterson's Officer Kaya Blanke is emerging as being the Dr. Watson to Elsbeth's Sherlock Holmes. The plot moves along with a rather nice quick pace. We also begin to get the first signals of the investigation of Captain Wagner. After seeing the conclusion, I had to re-watch it to see all of the clues I missed.
Elsbeth is quickly turning into a classic mystery series along the likes of Murder She Wrote, Diagnoses Murder, and Columbo.
