Top 5 Series Every Elsbeth Fan Should Watch While Waiting for Season 2
Although rewatching it will also do.
When a new show arrives and immediately steals our hearts, it's amazing. But right up until the moment the last episode of the season is released. Then we all end up depressed and waiting for the next chapter.
But we all know that it doesn't happen immediately, and usually we have to wait a year or more for new episodes. So the fans of CBS' Elsbeth, who were captivated by the charm and silliness of the titular character of the same name, are now in waiting mode for a new season.
And here we are with the perfect recommendations for viewers of this modern Columbo-like series: here are 5 shows you'll definitely enjoy watching while waiting for season 2.
1. Flight Attendant (2020-2022)
Are there any Kaley Cuoco fans? Well, good news for you: there’s a show that proves that she is so much more of an actress than you have ever thought. In this brilliantly crafted series she plays the part of Cassandra Bowden, a rather reckless flight attendant, who is trapped in a very unpleasant story.
One day she just woke up hungover in the wrong room with a dead man lying next to her. Not being able to remember anything, she starts to wonder if she was the killer… And here’s where the plot goes wild. Flight Attendant is an amazing crime and mystery drama with an original storyline and perfect casting.
2. Only Murders in the Building ( 2021)
You have probably heard of this investigative drama starring Celena Gomez, but now you can look at it in a different light – for example, by comparing the vibe to that of Elsbeth. While Elsbeth acts almost alone, this series has three main characters: three strangers (although neighbors) who accidentally find themselves in the middle of a murder case. And now they have to find out the truth or else... there will be a big problem for them.
“This show has quickly become my comfort show. Steve Martin and Martin Short are still so unbelievably funny. Selena Gomez is so cute in this and held her own (comedic wise) against Steve and Martin.The “who dun it?” story is really well done, with surprising plot twists and a satisfying ending,” Redditor Proudwheeler said.
3. Monk (2002-2009)
Elsbeth fans agree that Monk has a similar vibe, but in its own charming way. At the center of the story is a man named Adrian Monk, a brilliant former San Francisco detective who now works as a private consultant for the police. What's interesting about him, though, is that he suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and has the most unlikely ways of fighting it.
4. Palm Royale ( 2024)
For lovers of quirky characters who will go to any lengths to get what they want, we present Palm Royale on Apple TV+. Set in the 1960s, the soapy show follows the bizarre machinations of a young woman named Maxine Simmons, who wants more than anything in this life to be a part of high society.
The series amazingly portrayed the life of a woman who is an outsider but so wants to belong. And what’s crazy – she really thinks she deserves the life she desires!
5. Loot (2022)
Another Apple TV+ masterpiece is this Maya Rudolph led series. In Loot, she plays a woman named Molly Novak who accidentally becomes a billionaire after going through a divorce. As she tries to figure out what to do with her fortune, she realizes the best thing to do is just give it away. But how will that work out for her and the people she decides to help? That's where the fun begins.
