This is easy television: enjoyable, familiar and moreish. You can be gripped by the central crime while also fairly safe in the knowledge that the perpetrator will get their comeuppance and Elsbeth will come out on top. But as with all the Kings’ series, it’s executed with precision, wit and class, while Preston has pulled off the tricky balancing act of creating a loveable oddball who never verges into irritation.

You may be inclined to casually dismiss her as too flighty and frivolous. Butkeep watching—the show but also Preston’s masterful performance—and you’ll find a comfort watch the likes of which they don’t make that often anymore. Now let’s just hope the show, a rainy-day binge if there ever was one, gets renewed for plenty more seasons.

The premiere episode, with a story by “Good Wife” creators Michelle and Robert King and directed by Robert King, efficiently introduces new characters. Officer Kaya Blanke (Carra Patterson) warms up to Elsbeth’s quirky ways quickly and serves as a grounding force. NYPD Police Capt. C.W. Wagner (Wendell Pierce, always a welcome presence in any series) comes across as more of a wary ally.

Preston is as talented as they come, but she has little to work with here. Patterson and Pierce are given even less. This can’t be creatively fulfilling for anyone, with Elsbeth reduced to a collection of tics and unbridled enthusiasm. .... It’s baffling to see the Kings embrace such blatant copaganda.
