Her detective show is one of the most pleasant, delightful shows I've seen on network TV in over a decade.

@jeffmurdock8321 3 ай бұрын

Exactly. It's a fun ride every week with more than a few silly chuckles in the mix. It's a nice escape and a bit of a throwback to the more fun network TV shows of the 70's & 80's.

I love these celebrities who somehow don't let it go to their heads, and remain the sort of down-to-earth people who you'd want to be friends with.

@KristineMaitland 2 ай бұрын

I would argue that Carrie is not a celebrity. She is an actor in the way that actors in the UK tend to be actors. For them, acting is a gig.

The finale of season 1 was great. She brings so much heart to the character. Love the dynamic with the Captain. The fact she is a southerner just puts it over the top.

Carrie Preston is one of my top five fave actresses ever! Elsbeth is prob one of my top two fave charecters on TV ever. I am so excited about the new show. Carrie's performance in anything she does is always worth watching. In previous shows, she's always left you wanting more from her character and I couldn't be more enthusiastic about a show centered on Elsbeth Tascioni. It's about damn time!!!!

I'm pretty sure that when I first saw her as Elsbeth, on The Good Wife, I was likely recognising Carrie Preston from True Blood... But Elsbeth was such a strong character that, over the years, I had completely forgotten she was ever in True Blood until I saw an episode the other day! It's like if you asked most current fans of Robert Downey Jr. what his previous roles were before Iron Man! Indeed, Elsbeth is Carrie Preston's Iron Man! ;-]
