Columbo: an origin story (2018)
Columbo is my and my wife's favorite series. There are many things that separate it from most. Nowadays there is a big focus on series where every episode ends with an addictive cliffhanger. I hate that. You can watch a single episode of Columbo and be satisfied. There are a few things mentioned from other episodes here and there, but overall nothing important. I also love how the lieutenant is above all kind. Lately everything has to be dark and quirkiness is used to explain how someone is directly rude. I like the fact that they did not bend and show Mrs Columbo (I now that there was a separate show with that title).I'm sure, that it will get a reboot sometime in future. I just hope that it will not receive the same treatment as Star Trek with Discovery. I would appreciate i.e. Natasha Lyone to make it something different enough not to look like a cheap uncanny valley copy. But kindess and clear separation of episodes is a must.
