Wonderfully quirky adventure. It has some scary bits, but the bad guys always undermine their scariness with silly asides. Historical references are often educational, and always fun.

I like this show immensely, it’s our favorite! She is kind and smart and irrepressibly optimistic. Is she autistic, or on the spectrum? Unclear! I don’t believe it is ever stated here in Elsbeth, or in Good Fight, or in The Good Wife where we first meet her. What is clear is that she is an effective lawyer in the earlier two series and an effective detective in this one. Carrie Preston is so entertaining to watch, quirky and charming, with an emotional range surprising for this supposedly simple role. It is a murder mystery show so 14+ appropriate age range.

Full of heart and humor, a beautiful friendship and many funny moments, this film is just a bit much at the end, just too melodramatic in the final act. Kudos for the diversity in it’s leads and for addressing cognitive decline in a way that felt real for most of the film.

My spouse will love this series; I think it’s okay, just too formulaic. We both love seeing Queen Latifah & Chris Noth again.

A well crafted film that never lets up! My son, 16, watched the entire movie, a rarity, and really enjoyed it. The music was of the highest quality, surprisingly good for a small budget film. The same can be said of all the production values. The 50s setting was convincingly established, with wonderful antique props and vintage outfits to set the scene, and rapid-fire dialogue that I loved. The smoking was a necessary part of the world building. There is an important message on how people of color were treated a the time, woven intelligently into the story. I strongly recommend this film
