ELSBETH stars Emmy Award winner Carrie Preston as Elsbeth Tascioni, an astute but unconventional attorney who utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD.
On “The Good Wife” and “The Good Fight,” she ambled into cases as a quirky lawyer, the spice episodes needed to escape some of the heavy-hitting drama.
Like “Columbo,” a series with which it has much in common, “Elsbeth” starts with an incident then brings law enforcement and the lawyer into the case. The audience knows who’s guilty. It's just a matter of baiting the trap. People are also reading… “Having him on set during the pilot was such a comfort to me because the stakes are really high and I wanted the show to be amazing,” Preston says. “This is a very dialogue-heavy show and I wanted somebody who could do that kind of scene work, somebody who understood that and that’s Stephen times one billion.
Because she’s alone, Elsbeth has to find others she can trust and share information. Carra Patterson’s Kaya Blanke seems a likely confidante. “She’s a very dedicated, by-the-book NYPD officer,” Patterson says. “She realizes that Elsbeth sees something in her and she respects that.”
