- TriviaIn the first episode, Elsbeth 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!"'"

Not as impressed as I thought I would be
I loved Elsbeth on the Good Wife and the Good Fight, but so far I'm not impressed with this solo effort for her. It's like Columbo without the suspense, and I should add that on Columbo you knew who the killer was in advance; back them the killers were a whole lot smarter than the characters in Elsbeth. That fact makes it a bit boring after a while. We've seen her hijinks before and after a while they just irritate you.
I will probably continue to watch till the season ends. But I'm not enjoying it as much as I hoped I would. Really disappointed. Maybe it will get better when they reveal more.
