Tonight at 10p on CBS, get ready for a TV show within a TV show or procedural inside of a procedural. In other words, Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) is called in to find out who killed the executive producer of a Law & Order: SVU-type show.
Regina Coburn (Laurie Metcalf), think Mariska Hargitay, is the star of the show, and she is getting ready to take a hiatus from the long-running series so that she can act in a play in London. So, the showrunner agreed to put her character into a coma.
Regina hates her co-star, Jack Wilson (Dominic Fumusa). However, the fans of the show want the two of them to hook up. How far did someone go to make sure that storyline will happen or will not happen? That is what Elsbeth has to find out.
And it is not the only murder she is looking into. She is still trying to find out if Judge Crawford (Michael Emerson) killed the man who was the victim in the murder case she was a juror on last week.
You want to make sure to watch the final minutes because they will set up what we can expect from the second half of this season, which returns on January 30th.
But let’s finish talking about tonight’s episode. Metcalf is so brilliant in this episode, and I am so happy that she was because her performance on The Conners made me forget that she can act.
