Elsbeth has been the first since the series began
storytelling. By keeping the audience on their toes, the show stays fresh and fun.
But the latest episode of this season makes us wonder what exactly happened in that writer’s room. Things have begun to go from whimsical to doubtful things.
With protagonists like Elsbeth Tascioni, the plot behind the show always has suspicious storytelling choices. Thankfully, most of these decisions are good for the show.
For example, this is how we get the chef to be willing to beat her head with a meat tender in Elsbeth Season 2 Episode 5. We would love to see a killer dedicated to their craft.
That said, not every installment payment in Season 2 eliminated it.
Yes, there are already some criminals, and even our fanatics on TV can’t deny the episodes of the Els Bass phenomenon.
In Valentine’s Day episode, there are only too many Elsbeths to get rid of, but “Town” pushes it to its limits
The first jingle of season 2 takes place in that sweet Valentine’s Day episode “Town”. Just as cute as the story, it’s hard to overcome some obvious problems.
First, this comes from some readers, the portrayal of this small town of Scotland rubs the wrong way for some viewers to depict Scottish lands in an old way.
I’m a little picky about the personal pain of “the town”, but it’s weird to have New York City and Scotland in the same time zone.
There is no overlap between day and night? This is a simple detail that can have a significant impact on the audience.
Finally, this might intensify me, but after being hit by two firefighters in the first few episodes, Miss Tascioni waited until Elsbeth Season 2 Episode 11 to show a little interest.
All the heat firefighters in New York City and Elsbeth must land on Ioan Gruffudd, Scottish firefighter, who lives three thousand miles away.
There are a lot of things in the “town” that make us scratch our heads. Just like Elsbeth escapes from fear when facing a killer. When did she get scared when she got along with the plot murderer?
The only redemption about “Town” is the lovely but short romantic moment between Angus and Elsbeth (Carry Preston).
Sadly, for some of the other criminals on this list, this cannot be said.
The staple food of every murder mystery, no matter what type, should ultimately make sense. That’s just a murder 101
Of course, Elsbeth isn’t your typical police program, as the show consistently switches genres.
For a week, the series will portray a “howcatchem” in which all the details of the murders are neatly arranged. Then, over the next week, Elsbeth will have a real murder mystery.
Half the fun of the show didn’t know what we would get from the weekly grab bags.
However, since Elsbeth Season 1, the changes have become more frequent, with each other episode ranging from “Whodunnit” to “Whydunnit”.
Diversity may be a spice in life, but too many changes too quickly can lead to poorly executed plot cases, in which case everything is not appropriate.
Take Elsbeth Season 2 Episode 13 as an example. Fabulous Chloe spends the night with wealthy real estate billionaire Nathan.
Chloe then slips something into Nathan’s drink and before you know it, we have murder victims. Beautiful cut, right?
It seems that it does until you finish “Treajerker” and recall what happened. The crux of this episode is why Chloe wants to kill Nathan.
He seemed to really care about her, not to mention that Chloe was a wealthy woman who was not financially injured.
I would say she is a very successful “consultant” if she needs an assistant. Ultimately, it was revealed that Nathan and Chloe planned the whole thing to frame Nathan’s ex-wife.
Here’s something like this: ultimately, everything should make sense, because it’s a satisfying conclusion for the audience.
So if Nathan made plans with Chloe, why would Chloe need to wait until Nathan doesn’t want to put drugs in the drink?
Also, if Nathan had built the building, isn’t there an easier way to get Jordana Brewster’s (fatal weapon) Chloe in and out without being seen by the surveillance camera?
Hell, why didn’t Nathan repay the security guard? Writers like “easily bribing union workers” as convenient plot equipment.
Although this episode cuts down some pretty blatant corners with drawings, it is not compared to the next offense committed.
Even Elsbeth has the right to get fools from time to time, but how can a show like this throw the ball to the murdered mind?
I really want to like Elsbeth Season 2 Episode 15 – I did. It doesn’t matter how great the performance is. Even the best and best people can emit a real stinking from time to time.
There are a lot of things in “I see… Murder” that didn’t work, or there wasn’t the usual Elsbeth gleaming, which gave each plot its iconic pizazz.
The case in question is related to a truly memorable victim, who was shot by a bow and arrow while waiting for an online date in the park at night.
There is no ounce of creativity in this setting. The character may also have been walking with a bull ke on his chest.
The murder is totally uninspired, but that doesn’t matter, because Elsbeth always sends out the suspects of the real wild murderer.
Remember the actress stabbed the producer in the eye with her stilettos in the 8th episode of Elsbeth Season 2? Well, there is nothing in “I see…Murder”.
I really want to like the killer because Marilyn is the legendary Tracey Ullman (curb your passion). Sadly, even she couldn’t add the much-needed injection of PEP to this episode.
You might think that the murder case with the mind is the main suspect is a camp comedy gold mine, but that’s exactly the opposite.
The joke fell down and Ulman’s character was more cringing than charisma.
Overall, the second half of Elsbeth Season 2 doesn’t look too hot. Hope things can be corrected. Judge Milton Crawford still has problems.
For the most part, Michael Emerson’s role has never been there.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed as our recent episode cases lack markings.
Do you think some of the plots of Elsbeth might be better?
What does the performance make you scratch your head?
