Give a character to Paul Newman and he will make the guy impossibly cool. That's the case with Ross MacDonald's hardboiled detective, Lew Archer, transformed into Lew Harper by Newman. They changed his last name because Newman had a string of good luck with "H" titles like Hud and The Hustler (yes, really, Hollywood doesn't know anything either, fo...
A middle-aged ex-cop afraid of heights, James Stewart's love dope successfully fails one assignment three times. He's no Joe Friday, and that's the point. When an old college pal hires Scottie to follow his troubled wife Madeleine (Kim Novak), Stewart's genteel trustworthiness lures you into a false sense of security. Then Scottie falls for Madelei...
Under the tutelage of a guy who looks an awful lot like Frank Pembleton (see: No. 17) — and doing it all for the approval of that guy, who wasn't a substitute dad at all — Jake Peralta was the Nine-Nine's ace detective. His vibe, though? More like Ace… Ventura. A gregarious goofball who cosmically cosplayed as John McClane, Peralta was a juvenile o...
David Caruso's Miami sunglasses loom larger as parody, and decades of spun-off bloodwork have de-specialized CSI's forensics fetish. However, the CSI idea owes its longevity to the cerebral whimsy William Petersen brought the mothership series. Years after he played unhinged law enforcement in To Live and Die in L.A. and Manhunter, a more seasoned ...

On the surface, semi-retired actor Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), former Broadway director Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), and mysterious young artist Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) don't seem to have anything in common aside from living in the same Upper West Side apartment building. But after a chance encounter makes them realize they're all obses...
Based on The Thin Man and originally intended for screen icon Cary Grant, this frothy romantic mystery series featured Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers as the millionaire crime-solving couple Jonathan and Jennifer Hart, whose jet-setting lifestyle led to a side gig as amateur detectives. Outside of one of the best TV credit-sequences ever made (a...
One of the best mystery shows of the last decade isn't about solving murders or thwarting thefts. No, the teen heroes of Netflix's American Vandal are investigating a far more ludicrous (but no less compelling) crime: Who spray painted dicks on every car in the faculty parking lot? Aspiring investigators Peter Maldonado (Tyler Alvarez) and Sam Eckl...
The best smug married couple there ever was — so secure and assured in their happiness that it seeps from every pore (and smells a lot like gin). First created on the page by Dashiell Hammett and brought to deliciously witty life by William Powell and Myrna Loy in six films, Nick and Nora Charles are a rich, boozy couple who solve crimes in between...
As a man among cartoons, Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskins) is a fish out of water. After his brother, Teddy, was killed by a Toon, Eddie hates the lot of them — but he has to set aside his prejudice when recruited to prove that movie star Roger Rabbit (Charles Fleischer) has been framed for murder. Eddie Valiant is cut from the same cloth as many iconic ...
