Our favorite police consultant is as "Elsbethy" as ever in the Season 3 premiere "Yes, And..." The episode is a microcosm of everything we love about the series, and Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) herself, and if there were any worries that Season 3 wouldn't be able to maintain the lofty standards set by the first two seasons, consider them dashed. "Yes, And..." is one of the series' best.

Oct 13, 2025

This season, while it seems that there will be some continuing arcs, the mysteries themselves have room to breathe and become more than just a vehicle for Carrie Preston to do her Elsbeth thing.
