My Columbo obsession began quite innocuously one Sunday evening last August, when I happened to stumble upon the episode “Étude in Black”, starring John Cassavettes and Blythe Danner. It was the first time I’d seen the show since I was a child, but I enjoyed it so much the next day I was excited to discover that the show’s first seven seasons (originally aired on NBC from 1971 to 1978) were available to stream via Netflix. And so naturally I decided to watch every episode in sequence, a marathon task that I finally completed in November.
