Elsbeth Recap: The Price of Perfection
You almost feel sorry for Arthur (played by David Alan Grier) as he struggles to cover up the murder he committed and run his busy funeral home.
For its murders, Elsbeth often likes to riff on actual people, places, and things found in New York’s five boroughs – mafia history, high-end restaurant culture, the overheated co-op real estate market, and so on. These include blowing off reports from paranoid crackpots and treating tip line calls as the phone equivalent of spam, and boy does it behoove Elsbeth and Kaya, once again working different cases, to second-guess their assumptions and follow up on such things. No surprises here, veteran comedic actor David Alan Grier is great at conveying Arthur’s increasing exasperation with the constant push-pull of what would be a very busy work week even without having to dispose of his nephew’s body.
