	Media	Author	Review
		Aramide Tinubu Variety	"The Kings are proving that network TV and the procedural drama, when well-written and perfectly cast, can be outlandish, witty and full of joy."
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"“The Good Wife” was one of those prestreaming shows that demonstrated just how smart, sophisticated, subtle, sly and wickedly funny a network series could be, and they have imported those qualities into the more overtly comical, completely delightful “Elsbeth.”
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[It] is already a rock-solid procedural with a winning trio in front of the camera and a brilliant duo behind it. It may only happen every seven years or so, but the network nicknamed The Eye once again has something worth keeping an eye on"
		John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"Elsbeth Tascioni is a character actually worthy of her own series, full of possibilities, fun to watch and who in some sense is always winking at the audience"
		Lili Loofbourow The Washington Post	"A well-executed, frothy delight"
		Manuel Betancourt AV Club	"A show that has all the trappings of a weekly CBS procedural wrapped in a kooky sensibility that feels in short supply in the post-Peak TV era."
		Dylan Roth The New York Observer	"Elsbeth may, like its title character, turn out to be less airy and frivolous than it seems, but based on the three episodes provided to critics, it’s just an inoffensive diversion."
		Nina Metz Chicago Tribune	"[It] tries -and fails- to be a quirkier version of 'Columbo’s'"
		Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"'Elsbeth' wants to be the next ‘Columbo.’ it nearly succeeds (...) Preston is charming enough to cover for the most ludicrous parts of it. "
		Amy Amatangelo Paste Magazine	"After two wildly creative and successful series, our standards for shows set in the The Good Wife universe are high. Elsbeth isn’t necessarily a bad show, but it’s definitely a disappointing one. "
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Carrie Preston’s 'Good Wife' character gets an appealingly broad CBS spinoff"
		Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune	"Carrie Preston's character is kookier and more compelling than anyone tackling crime on 'Law & Order'"
		Joel Keller Decider	"We’re suckers for the “howdunit” format of Elsbeth, and Preston has such a good handle on the character that we are looking forward to watching her catch wily killers week after week."
