A character who has been through two series finally gets his own show. Elsbeth is coming to the Big Apple for better or for worse? I tell you everything in this video!
Hello everyone, in this new video, I talk to you aboutElsbeth, a new American series which begins on TF1 this Wednesday January 8. Elizabeth depicts the character ofElsbeth Tascioni ex-lawyer from Chicago and veteran of the formidable series The Good Wife et The Good Fight. A character who will have marked viewers, although in fact she only appeared in only 18 episodes. Elsbeth Tascioni is a formidable lawyer who defends her clients despite her unconventional style. But following an offer from the Department of Justice, she arrived in New York to officially be an observer to supervise the agreements concluded with criminals and delinquents. But in reality, she is there to investigate the controversial practices of the New York police. Alongside the inspector Donnelly and the young officer Rich Blanke and under the orders of the captain Wagner, Elsbeth works on various murder investigations…
On adore The Good Wife et The Good fight but if you hope with Elsbeth find the cozy world of Chicago law firms as well as the negotiations and jousts of the courtrooms, you will be disappointed. Because of its parent series, Elsbeththat we must always Michelle et Robert Kingretains little except insight and intelligence. With his singular character, eccentric as possible and endowed with a joyful energy, Elsbeth rather looks towards a mythical elder, namely the lieutenant Columbo. Car Elsbeth is a successful series, very pleasant to follow but also lighter than its predecessors, a real entertainment series in the noble sense of the term as modern television no longer produces as much as before. In this formula show built on the howcatchthem contrary to the famous whodunit, – pardon for these repeated anglicisms – the starting point is immutable. We discover a victim and his assassin and the elaborate way in which the latter carries out his crime. Like Columbo, Elsbeth will very quickly prove to be “the stone in the shoe”, she who sees beyond appearances, who through her bizarre ideas finds details that the police have overlooked and who, once she has her suspect online sights never let go of him until he cracks and confuses him.
-In this game, Carrie Preston delivers an exceptional performance. Elsbeth is not afraid of anything, especially not of ridicule, marvels at nothing with a naivety that sometimes borders on childhood, but we must not be fooled, he is a formidable adversary for criminals. Her extravagant outfits, her scathing humor and her lively wit ultimately make her a sparkling and irresistible character that the actress embodies brilliantly. Around her Molly Price et Wendell Pierce notably complete an excellent cast, the guests chosen to play the assassins being devoted to familiar figures like Jane Krakowski, Stephen Moyer or Blair Underwood…In the end, Elsbethwithout revolutionizing anything, is a delicious series to watch and offers us, under the cover of certain dark intrigues, very nice entertainment thanks to lively writing and a breathtaking interpretation of Carrie Preston.
