When you have a lot of series to choose from, it only seems easy to find something to your liking. At the end, you just drop every second of them for the stupidest reasons: slow pace, unlikable main character, cringe love story or whatever else.
So when you finally find a show that is perfect for you and then it suddenly gets canceled, of course you will feel sorry for your loss and angry at the whole world. This is actually what happened to the fans of the show called So Help Me Todd.
The series premiered on CBS in 2022 and immediately became popular among viewers. So Help Me Todd is a legal drama that follows a strict and law-obedient Margaret, the owner of a big law firm, and her son Todd, a talented but directionless private investigator.
The two of them start working together, and the series of quite entertaining shenanigans follow after that.

Each episode of CBS’ Elsbeth — starring Carrie Preston in the title role, which won her a 2013 Emmy for best guest actress in a drama for the character’s appearance on The Good Wife — follows a similar “howdunit” premise: The audience sees a guest star commit murder, and Preston’s idiosyncratic Elsbeth Tascioni puts together the pieces to solve the mystery and bring the murderer to justice. But Elsbeth‘s season finale veers from the formula, as the title character follows the wrong lead with predictably hilarious — and fashion-forward — results. Showrunner Jonathan Tolins breaks down the script.
Elsbeth Script
“I always feel like an audience watches something with the question of ‘Why am I getting this information?’ ” says Jonathan Tolins. This scene, which sees our heroine meet designer Matteo Hart and retired model Nadine Clay (played by André De Shields and Laura Benanti, respectively), delivers the title character into the central mystery.

“I love to play characters who are ironically interesting and challenging in terms of the way they navigate through life,” shares Linda Lavin about how she chooses roles, including the one she recently portrayed on “Elsbeth.” Her guest appearance on the new CBS drama series was indeed challenging as she stepped into the shoes of the sharp-tongued Gloria, the president of a luxury New York City co-op who is murdered by a real estate agent with a vendetta (Jane Krakowski) and her fed-up tenants. The legendary actress appears in the second episode, “A Classic New York Character,” and calls Gloria “provocative” because of the “evil and dangerous and malicious” things she says. Watch our exclusive video interview above.
Lavin has made many guest appearances in her over 60 years on television, including on “The Good Wife,” which is the series on which Carrie Preston’s character Elsbeth was first introduced. The...

When it comes to the race to win an Emmy, there will be a collective buzz around the award’s 60+ categories until Sept. 15 when we find out who gets the gold.
Arguably one of the most highly competitive awards doesn’t happen at the main event but the weekend before at the Creative Arts ceremony. That’s when the winners in the four guest performer categories (which include guest actor and actress in both comedy and drama genres) are awarded for a one-time or re-curring role. (Think Jamie Lee Curtis’ two-episode performance on FX’s “The Bear” — a likely candidate.)
In looking back at early precursors, this award has quite a checkered past with numerous category name changes and head-scratching nominee groupings over the years. For example, in 1977, the bracket was called outstanding single appearance in a comedy or drama series. There was no separation by genre, so nominees included...

Wendell Pierce revealed on X that an apartment owner recently denied his request for an apartment in Harlem, N.Y. despite his rock-solid income from various film and television roles over the last year and change. Pierce alleged that his application was rejected due to racism.
“For those of you who don’t understand my righteous anger; I’m on 2 TV series, Elsbeth and Raising Kanan. I’m filming Superman. Two years ago, I finished the fourth season of Jack Ryan,” Pierce wrote to his followers.” Last year I finished a run on Broadway in Death Of A Salesman. Even with my proof of employment, bank statements and real estate holdings, a white apartment owner Denied my application to rent the apartment…..in Harlem, of all places.”
“Racism and bigots are real,” he added. “There are those who will do anything to destroy life’s journey for Black folks. When you deny our personal experiences,...

Months before the highly anticipated third season of “Hacks” premiered, Gold Derby’s thousands of 2024 Emmy predictors collectively agreed that it poses the biggest threat to defending Best Comedy Series champion “The Bear.” As the Max series’ latest batch of episodes dropped throughout May, its standing in the main race steadily improved, with its well-received finale triggering noticeable boosts in multiple categories.
Over the past week, the share of top Best Comedy Series votes held by “The Bear” decreased by 1.2%, while that of “Hacks” grew by the same amount. Although the two programs remain separated by nearly 80 percentage points, it speaks volumes that “Hacks” is at least 1.5 points ahead of every other contender.
After simultaneously running second in their respective races for several weeks, lead and supporting “Hacks” actresses Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder are now closer than ever to toppling frontrunners Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”) and Meryl Streep...

Elsbeth’s season 1 is now officially over after the final episode aired a couple of weeks ago, and the upcoming second installment does promise some big changes in the character’s career.
Coming as a spinoff to the 2009 political drama show The Good Wife, Elsbeth follows the eponymous character who originally was seen working as a lawyer in Chicago, but now she shows up again in a quite different position as a private investigator helping the NYPD solve crimes in Big Apple.
Now that Elsbeth has finally proved that her quirky work methods are definitely a key to the local police department’s success in catching criminals, the second season is likely to bring Elsbeth back to something she’s more familiar with.

Elsbeth is a CBS crime procedural that has taken over the Internet like wildfire thanks to its quirky yet charming lead, Elbeth Tascioni, portrayed by Carrie Preston, and its nostalgic formula that takes viewers back to their favorite shows of the 1990s and 2000s.
Even though the show is a spin-off of two other hits, The Good Wife and The Good Fight, many people didn't trust the show enough to be as entertaining as it turned out to be. But now that Elsbeth's quality has been confirmed by thousands of viewers, a slew of positive reviews, and Season 2 on its way, more and more people are showing interest.
Is Elsbeth Renewed for Season 2?
Elsbeth has been officially renewed for season 2 in April 2024, and now fans are guessing which of the characters will return to their screens. Some believe the answer to that question may actually be in the very announcement made by Amy Reisenbach,...

Everyone's favorite Chicago attorney came to the Big Apple as the "police of the police" to keep an eye on the boys in blue while lending a hand to the NYPD string of murder cases.
By the end of Elsbeth Season 1 Episode 1, viewers found out that the lawyer turned sleuth was in NYC for a different matter entirely.
Elsbeth was sent to watch Captain Wagner, but that didn't stop this intrepid purveyor of truth from cracking one murder case after another.
One of the first things audiences likely noticed about this series is that it is a spinoff of a spinoff, as Elsbeth first appeared in The Good Wife.
She then went to The Good Fight, where she continued her quirky approach and eventually got her own series.
Elsbeth has a much more fun and whimsical tone than its fellow series, all of which are part of The Good Wife franchise.

The odds are in Tracker’s favor, as the show has just triumphantly ended the 2023-2024 TV season garnering an impressive amount of viewers and surpassing even CBS’ long-standing giant NCIS.
Apart from NCIS, Tracker is followed by CBS’ other successful projects, and though many of them came quite close to the number one position, the Justin Hartley-led action drama show is still on top. Fair to say it does seem like a good sign for the upcoming second season.
According to Variety’s reports, in CBS’ race for the fans’ love Tracker got more than 10 million viewers, while NCIS ended up with a bit less than 10 million, followed by other CBS darlings like Young Sheldon, Blue Bloods, NCIS: Hawai’i and Elsbeth.

Elsbeth’s first season got to be a whole new level of success for CBS, as the series’ high ratings eventually paved the way for a second installment to hit the network later this year.
Coming as some kind of spinoff to a 2009 political drama show The Good Wife, Elsbeth keeps its numerous fans on the hook in anticipation for more original characters appearing in the upcoming season, though for now this seemingly brilliant idea still meets some obstacles on its way to the show.
Following Elsbeth’s season 1 finale that tricked absolutely everyone with a cliffhanger that actually never made it to the episode, the series’ showrunner Jonathan Tolins revealed that the crew had always heard fans’ repeated demand to reintroduce The Good Wife’s main characters as guest stars in Elsbeth, but so far it hasn’t been yet decided whether something like this will happen in the upcoming season.

On May 23, the final episode of the first season of Elsbeth, a spin-off of The Good Wife about a lawyer who leaves her native Chicago for a solo adventure, was released. Elsbeth has a brilliant mind that allows her to look at things from an entirely different angle, and she clearly doesn't want to waste that on just being a lawyer. So she comes to New York at the invitation of the local mayor's office to help the police.

While the whole world of TV fans is celebrating Elsbeth's deserved success, those who have been following Carrie Preston for a long time are looking back at the actress' filmography to choose something to distract themselves during the hiatus.
Although Elsbeth has been renewed for season 2, it won't arrive until the fall, so there's plenty of time to check out some of the actress' other projects.
Be careful, though, because not all of them are as good as Elsbeth. Preston's directorial debut, That's What She Said, is a movie you probably want to avoid at all costs. It's everything that's wrong with a parody comedy.
What Did Carrie Preston Direct?
Even though Carrie Preston has more than one movie under her belt, this one stands out from the crowd. First of all, Preston's other projects were TV episodes of Claws, The Good Fight and Your Honor. Second, all...

When the Emmy nominations are announced July 17, something will happen that hasn’t happened in 50 years: The nominees for best drama series will include only one previously nominated show, Netflix’s The Crown. I would love to be able to say that’s because there are so many great dramas out there and that TV Academy members are diligently watching them and championing different great ones this year. But the truth is, this field, historically among the strongest each season, now looks like a wasteland.
Such perennial nominees as HBO’s Succession and Westworld and AMC’s Better Call Saul have ended, along with second-tier contenders like Paramount+’s The Good Fight and Star Trek: Picard. Some ongoing, previously nominated shows were not back in time to be eligible, in some cases because of delays caused by the writers and actors strikes, including Netflix’s Stranger Things, Squid Game and Bodyguard; HBO/Max’s Euphoria,...

Every year, the CBS television network airs new and continuing TV series. Many are cancelled, and many are renewed by the season's end. Although everyone understands that Nielsen ratings usually play a big role in TV cancellations and renewals, most fans do not get to participate in that system. So, we are offering you the chance to rate CBS TV shows here, instead.
CBS TV series that have aired (so far) during the 2023-24 television season: The Amazing Race, Big Brother Reindeer Games, Blue Bloods, Bob ♥ Abishola, Buddy Games, CSI: Vegas, Elsbeth, The Equalizer, FBI, FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, FBI True, Fire Country, Ghosts, Ghosts (UK), Lingo, Lotería Loca, The Neighborhood, NCIS, NCIS: Hawai'i, NCIS: Sydney, Raid the Cage, So Help Me Todd, Survivor, Swat, Tracker, and Young Sheldon.

Well, we did it. We made it to the finale of Elsbeth, and all that's left to say is when will the next season be?!
A lot was done differently in Elsbeth Season 1 Episode 10, and it all made for a fantastic ending to an enjoyable season of murder hijinx.
As most viewers likely noticed from the start of the episode, the usually "howcatchem" show shifted gears to a genuine murder mystery.
It was undoubtedly a subtle misdirect to treat audiences, as the trailer promo didn't show who the killer was, and viewers were likely expecting a full rundown at the episode's start.
At least the most likely character from the episode trailer to be the killer was a mislead because Nadine was hilarious and likable.
I believe strongly in kindness and second chances. Also, in the healing power of the sun and certain textiles.
Nadine Permalink: I believe strongly in kindness and second chances.

“The Good Wife” introduced Carrie Preston‘s Elsbeth Tascioni back in 2010. She was so popular with fans that she also featured in the spin-off show “The Good Fight.” Now Preston and Elsbeth take center stage in the brand new spin-off “Elsbeth.”
CBS’ hit drama series follows Elsbeth as she carries out work as an unconventional attorney and helps the NYPD catch criminals with her astute observations. Preston was excellent in her guest role in “The Good Wife” but she is even better here as the main course, as critics have noted.
Ben Travers (Indie Wire) observed: “Preston knows the exact pitch at which to play Elsbeth. Never grating yet always pesky, her unrelenting positivity (and general relentlessness) would undoubtedly get old, fast, in real life. Cops and criminals alike are exhausted by her, but audiences can more easily appreciate her dogged demeanor because a) we know she’s on the right track,...

Elsbeth’s season 1 officially came to its end with last night’s final episode, and fans can now surely expect bigger things for the character next season.
As it turned out, there’s now no bad blood between Elsbeth and her boss Wagner who almost sent her away back to Chicago after learning that she was digging up dirt on him, and though the compelling drama seems to be over, a new level achieved in their relationship may still have some surprises in stock.
Apart from that, after proving Elsbeth’s ability to find murderers on her slightest whim, the show may turn to another perspective and dive deeper into Elsbeth’s personal story which has never been explored before.
Though so far it’s nothing but a mere suggestion, Elsbeth’s actress yet has another option for a family affair on set, and it doesn’t have to do...

Elsbeth’s first season officially wrapped it all up last night with the final episode, and some major changes the show has recently been hinting at turned out to be nothing more than everyone’s delusion.
The penultimate episode that aired a week earlier significantly intensified Elsbeth’s drama, leaving the character on the edge of her successful career in New York, but now she appears to be just fine.
However weird it may sound to the fans of modern shows that simply can’t do without major cliffhangers, Elsbeth’s creators indeed had a solid reason for the season’s happy ending.
Spoiler alert for Elsbeth’s season 1 finale.
The season’s last episode proves that the big fight between Elsbeth and her boss Wagner after he found out about her spying on him was just a fuss about nothing. Well, in the beginning he’s in fact shown...

Elsbeth may have just ended its first season on May 23, but we’re already looking ahead—and we very much hope that Carrie Preston‘s dream guest star appears this fall. Elsbeth will be back for its second season in the fall, and when TV Insider asked Preston for her dream guest stars, she has someone in mind: “You know I have to say Michael Emerson,” she said with a laugh. “We’re hoping that he’ll come to the Elsbeth world now that he’s done with the Kings other show Evil. So that would be wonderful.” She also already has an idea of the role she’d like to see him play. “It would be fun to see Michael not be a murderer or someone evil. It would be fun to see him be maybe even part of the police ...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Elsbeth Season 1 finale “A Fitting Finale.”] Considering Elsbeth has been renewed for a Season 2 and we can’t imagine Carrie Preston‘s character without Wagner (Wendell Pierce) and Kaya (Carra Patterson), the fact that she’s sticking around isn’t too surprising. In the finale, Wagner, starting out the episode ready to book Elsbeth’s flight back to Chicago himself after her betrayal with her investigation into him possibly being corrupt (he wasn’t), not only comes around to her staying but also gives her Noonan’s old office! Plus, the show deviates from the case-of-the-week structure a bit by making us wait until the end to see who the murderer was. Below, showrunner Jonathan Tolins breaks down the finale and shares some early teases about Season 2. You wrapped up the Wagner investigation in the penultimate episode, and you didn’t have ...

Even though Elsbeth has been officially renewed for a second season, and all fans of the quirky and chaotic investigator will see her again, that doesn't mean there won't be a long hiatus. Now, back to the normal television schedule, the second season of the show will premiere in the fall, at the beginning of the new 2024/25 season.
If you don't remember seeing Carrie Preston before, or your knowledge is limited by The Good Wife and The Good Fight, which were Elsbeth's predecessors, here's the list of movies and TV shows to fill in the blanks and watch before season 2 arrives.

Since The Last Update
With the June 13 start of Emmy nominations voting just three weeks away, the race is beginning to come into focus.
The drama series competition, which was looking incredibly bleak (with only one past nominee even eligible for a nomination this season, Netflix’s The Crown), is suddenly getting exciting. FX announced that Shōgun, which was expected to be a one-off limited series, will, in fact, be getting additional seasons, making it a drama series — and the new frontrunner for that prize and several related categories. But Amazon, far from conceding the category, is making a big push for its breakout rookie show, Fallout, which has amassed a sizable fanbase and overtaken Mr. and Mrs. Smith on the streamer’s list of priorities. (On Tuesday, they called in the big guns by having showrunner Jonathan Nolan interviewed by his big brother Christopher in front of a massive crowd of voters.

To all the fans’ simultaneous excitement and frustration, Elsbeth’s first season is coming to its end this week, and the tension is higher than ever after the latest episode’s plot twist.
With the show’s renewal for another season earlier this year, it surely won’t take too long before the next installment hits CBS this fall, though chances are fans will still have to be patient enough as a potential cliffhanger may come in the finale.
Spoiler alert for Elsbeth’s Episode 9.
The whole first season was pretty clear about Elsbeth’s personal and secretive investigation of police chief Wagner with her colleague and friend Kaya, who later became aware of Elsbeth’s plans and gave her a helping hand.
Eventually, the ninth episode proves that Elsbeth’s suspicions were quite delusional and she got nothing on Wagner, but, when she and Kaya are about to celebrate the end of their mission,...

The finale is finally upon us! It's been a good season of sleuthing for the Chicago transplant turned unofficial homicide detective.
But all things, good or bad, meaning Elsbeth's functional floral fashion, must end.
Elsbeth Season 1 Episode 10 looks like a tricky one to figure out, though. The only clear thing is that a fashion photographer is murdered, possibly by way of a gunshot.
The promo left a lot to be desired in terms of clues. But as Elsbeth is a "howcatchem," all the pertinent details will be laid out within the first five minutes of the episode.
It's just not very clear who the killer might be, but if we're going by who was featured the most in the trailer and who was the most recognizable face, then it's likely Laura Benanti playing runway model Nadine.
I'm more inclined to believe she is the killer for a couple of reasons.

With the first season’s finale coming in already this week, Elsbeth has surely cemented its status as one of the CBS’ top shows in the upcoming years. Ever since it hit the network in February, the series has been a top-notch detective story that eventually received a pretty deserved renewal for yet another season.
Though the detective genre isn’t something uncommon on modern TV with all the diversity of versatile characters embarking on their proper investigations, there’s still something very unique that Elsbeth brings into the genre, and the series’ showrunner knows exactly what his brainchild’s zest is.
Initially introduced in a cameo role in the 2009 political drama show The Good Wife, Elsbeth’s eponymous character now comes up on the main stage proving that she’s far more than just an observer.

As a spin-off from such hits as The Good Wife and The Good Fight, Elsbeth was set up for a successful start. However, it's the charm of lead actress Carrie Preston and the twisted mysteries she solves that keep people coming back for more. Though repetitive due to its formula, the show is highly entertaining and has kept many fans coming back for more.
While many viewers are hoping and praying for the second season so the show can have more creative freedom and add some variety to the stories, others are happy with what they're getting. Especially since Elsbeth isn't afraid to reference a show or two to make things more interesting for the most attentive fans.

Amateur sleuth shows used to be popular in the pre-csi era of television.
These series showcased detectives who were not police officers, were often quirky, and could best the cops at solving murders -- if they could get them to listen.
You're right if you think that sounds exactly like CBS' Elsbeth. Elsbeth has more in common with amateur sleuth series of the past than with the show it spun off from, The Good Wife.
Elsbeth is a modern take on classic shows like Columbo, Murder She Wrote, and Diagnosis Murder. Most shows it owes a debt to are no longer on television, but streaming services have given them new life.

There is nothing better than watching a light-hearted yet intriguing TV show after a long day at work, and that is exactly what Elsbeth offers its viewers. The show about the title character, a quirky yet brilliant lawyer who has the skills of a detective and solves the toughest cases, has already won the hearts of many.
However, no show is flawless, and Elsbeth is no exception. Though the show is good, it can't keep viewers interested forever because of the repetitive formula of each and every episode. In fact, in order to keep themselves entertained with the show, fans have started to come up with some peculiar theories.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Elsbeth Season 1 Episode 9 “Sweet Justice.”] Revenge may be sweet, but justice? It’s even sweeter and more satisfying. The penultimate episode of the season-long investigation into corruption—Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) was sent to New York to keep an eye on Wagner (Wendell Pierce)—ends with a major arrest. Wagner is, of course, not corrupt but rather, it turned out, a lieutenant and his close friend, Noonan (Fredric Lehne), was—and using his name! Thanks to a well-placed bug, Elsbeth and Wagner were able to follow him to catch him in the act. But once that was done, Wagner had one last move to make: to tell Elsbeth to return to Chicago. Below, Pierce breaks down the emotional episode and teases what’s ahead in the finale. How satisfying was it for Wagner to tell Noonan, “That’s why I got the job and you didn’t”?

You'd think that in an episode centered around a bar and its owner, Elsbeth Season 1 Episode 9 would have some sort of death by the drink, but in this episode, the murderer went with an oldie but a classic.
In "Sweet Justice," audiences meet Joe, the owner of an exclusive high-end bar who decides to take justice into his own hands by murdering one of his patron's bullies.
It would almost be sweet if his form of justice didn't involve homicide, oh, and killing the wrong woman.
Gracing the small screen this week for yet another familiar face is Arian Moayed.
Surprisingly, he did not already appear in The Good Wife or The Good Fight, but viewers might recognize him from Succession.
As for his character, anyone who frequents Netflix might notice some similarities between this Joe and another who also enjoys stalking women who have caught his eye in a little show called "You.
