“Astute but unconventional attorney Elsbeth Tascioni [played by Carrie Preston] utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD,” reads the IMDB description of the comedy-drama series.
Since first airing, “Elsbeth” has won 4 awards and received 12 nominations, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 91%–though some critics have labeled it tedious and predictable.
“When a young man is found dead in his car, Elsbeth visits the holistic wellness center he’d just left, and begins to suspect its charismatic founder,” reads the description of the next episode, titled “Unalive and Well.”
The series has been filming across NYC since production began, with additional locations in Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Citi Field, the Empire State Building and more.
