nonononononoonon do not disparage columbos good name on that tripe.
dont get me wrong, i like the housewife version of psych, but the writing is weak.. its over-dramatic and the lead actress just leans the wrong way into 'quirky' to make it work.
columbo was an entirely different beast. you knew who the murderer was as it happened in the opening credits. you were always supposed to know.
the real spiritual successor to columbo is elsbeth... shes unassuming, simple. kind. . hides behind others perceptions of them instead of constantly trying to break out of them like in HP.. constantly drops the actual columbo line (just one more thing!)..
but even that show trounces the non-arcing nature of the original columbo series. you could watch them entirely our of order and it doesnt.. no... shouldnt, matter.
snipe edit;
her boots are the worst part of the show and i struggle to watch it because of them. fugly. just fugly.
Poker Face seems a little closer.
