Elsbeth Season 2 Keeps Its Tried and True Format Intact
It is admittedly hard to make a declarative statement about Elsbeth Season 2 overall, as only one episode was made available for review prior to release. However, if that one episode is any indication, then Season 2 is changing things up where necessary while also retaining the format that serves the show so well. The premiere, “Subscription to Murder,” follows Elsbeth and her NYPD partner Officer Kaya Blanke (Carra Patterson) as the two are tasked with investigating another murder, this one of a young Wall Street type, where their primary person of interest appears to be an obsessive opera patron played by Nathan Lane, the first in a string of big-name guest stars set to appear.
Like most episodes in the first season, save the finale, the episode kicks off with the murder taking place, and with the perpetrator known to the audience right away. Though this method of mystery storytelling is by no means unique to Elsbeth, it’s still rare enough, especially in procedural TV, to make the entire series a breath of fresh air. It injects an extra level of suspense for the audience, who have significantly more information than the characters do and must now watch them try to catch up. While the questions for those on screen firmly remain “who” and “why,” the narrative tension rests in the “how,” which truly sets the show apart. While, again, this assessment is made based only on the season premiere, it is a promising sign that the show returned to format right away after breaking it in the Season 1 finale, showing it knows where its strengths are and is happy to continue playing in that sandbox.
And then there’s the star of the show herself, Carrie Preston. Elsbeth’s relentless positivity in another actor’s hands would run the risk of being just this side of too much. But as portrayed by Preston, she is a ray of sunshine that continues to shine brightly in the first episode and will hopefully continue to do so in the rest of the season. With the premiere so brilliantly kicking things off, Elsbeth fans are sure to be in for a treat as the series airs this fall.
Elsbeth Season 2 premieres on CBS on October 17. Past episodes are streaming now on Paramount+.
Carrie Preston is, as always, a delight as Elsbeth Tascioni. The show returns to the “how-catchem” format for Season 2, putting a fun spin on the procedural. The emotional stakes are elevated for the characters, keeping things closer to home for them.
