‘Elsbeth’ series premiere: How to watch, where to stream

The new The Good Wife spinoff series Elsbeth will officially premiere on CBS Thursday, Feb. 29 at 10/9c.

In Elsbeth, Carrie Preston stars as Elsbeth Tascioni, an astute but unconventional attorney who utilizes her singular point of view to make unique observations and corner brilliant criminals alongside the NYPD, according to CBS.

In the first episode of Elsbeth, when a college theater student is mysteriously found dead in her high-rise New York City apartment, Elsbeth immediately suspects foul play and enters a game of wits against the victim’s popular theater director Alex Modarian (guest star Stephen Moyer) who she believes is involved.

Throughout the evolution of the murder investigation, Elsbeth must balance her consent decree role with the NYPD and her uncommon methods to make her case and uncover the real killer.

Where can I watch Elsbeth without cable?
