FeaturedWhat is the plot of the Elsbeth TV show?
After a successful career in Chicago, quirky attorney Elsbeth Tascioni moves to New York where, once again, her “singular point of view” and “unique observations” are utilised to help the NYPD solve crimes.
Despite her unconventional ways, the shrewd lawyer proves to be an effective investigator, assisting the authorities in apprehending even the most brilliant criminals. As a result of her invaluable skills and instincts, or being right most of the time to put it simply, Elsbeth becomes NYPD’s de facto detective.
Creators Robert and Michelle King, who also created The Good Wife and The Good Fight, employ the inverted detective story structure instead of the typically used “whodunit” to explore the crime mystery in each episode.
