This was a cinematic diaper fire!! It was so bad, I laughed through most of it. Of course, if it weren’t free on Peacock I would have been pissed. The acting, with a couple of exceptions, was terrible. William Defoe was good. I can only assume he did the movie because he lost a bet. The actor playing Nosferatu was horrible. To make matters worse, he sounded like a cross between The Count from Sesame Street and Mike Tyson. The female lead remembered her lines. So…I guess that’s something. Unfortunately, they were all stupid, but that’s not her fault. Speaking of stupid lines, everyone got a bunch of them. String them all together and you have a terrible, boring rehashing of a tired old storyline that did nothing new or even a tiny bit interesting. Worst remake since Bad News Bears. Only recommend this to someone who has wronged you.

It’s a cute show. It took the basic framework of Psych and built a tamer, more simplistic cop show without the humor or clever writing. Elsbeth follows the CBS playbook of very easy to follow, sterilized murder mystery shows. Their target audience is most likely the elderly (like NCIS). Overall, it’s not the worst thing out there.

I don't understand why people are so offended by this show. Seriously people? It's clearly scripted. This isn't real. Just enjoy the satire.
