If you’re familiar with the kind of television written by Robert and Michelle King, Elsbeth may trigger the same sort of sleeper-agent response it did in me. The Kings — creators of The Good Wife, its spinoff The Good Fight, and Evil — specialize in breezy, high-quality, old-fashioned procedural television. They also specialize in great guest roles for stars of the stage, because their shows happen to film in New York. With Elsbeth, they’ve spun off a character from Chicago-based The Good Wife’s universe, Carrie Preston’s daffy but hyper-observant defense attorney Elsbeth Tascioni, and set her loose on New York City, and the results and the guest stars are as delightful as you might hope. — Jackson McHenry, “Elsbeth Knows What to Do”
