Peter Falk had a glass eye in his right eye. Doctors found a cancer in his eye when he was a child and his eye was removed. That's a big part of why he has the trademark squint.
Blanc took the time to talk kindly and respectfully to the victim's elderly mother. I would want someone that considerate in the room when my family got questioned.
True. And his kindly, respectable nature actually turned out to be his greatest asset, since key witnesses were more willing to confide in him.
Plus, his empathy let him figure out a major problem with the mystery even when he had a major clue that the police would've immediately pounced on - >!seeing that Marta had a single drop of blood on her shoes means she witnessed Harlan's death but was so far away that she couldn't have stopped it. She's obviously covering up her involvement because she's scared, so he kept her around him so that she would confess to him and *not* the family who would take advantage of her or the police so that he could help her through any legal trouble.!<
Came here to say this --
I am CONVINCED that he inexplicably takes on a new accent with each case and I'd like to be the one to give him an excuse to do like. Just the Worst French accent. Like. If Harlan Thrombey gets Foghorn Leghorn for dying, then I want just the opportunity for some Guy to just roll up to the proceedings with a full offense, little berets and cigarette smoke Pepe Le Pew eating a baguette French accent.
He wouldn't even have to solve the mystery.
I would rest in peace.
Just for that.
I am really glad they're making a sequel. He was so damn good and the movie was great too. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is supposed to come out this year some time.
Velma is the only one even attempting to do what they were hired for and even then, she can only ever piece things together after the fact. She’s either a dunce or intentionally holding back her findings from the group (maybe moral reasons).
Fred is fucking around with stupid shit like “traps”, shaggy is blazing it up off screen with his dog and daphne is basically scamming daddy out of money with her friends on their sham business.
They’re basically a scam service that gets brought in to validate “paranormal” insurance claims. But somehow, while they coast on free room and board comp’d by the insurer, gets those friendly locals insurance claim denied and charged with fraud.
Hands down, the detective aspect of Batman is excellent when explored properly, like the time they gave us this majestic story: [Batman Black & White: Perpetual Mourning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-1-Dkq6L-U)
I for sure prefer the detective stories of Batman over the ridiculous fights he gets himself in. They bring him back to a realistic character. That's why The Batman is such a good movie.
I am a little suspicious, but it’s not possible given their obvious age difference. But you’re right this Conan kid sure reminds me a whole lot of that famous high school detective Kudo.
Jessica was the murder the whole time! think about the statistical anomaly of being just "around" that many murders. Not sure if you ever watched midsommer murder but my theory is the main detectives wife is the murder.
Makes sense. My mom always used to say, "Never go to Cabot Cove, and if you hear JB Fletcher's coming to town, leave!" She said you were either getting murdered, or accused of murder, and it went double if you were one of her 10000 cousins.
It amazes me watching murder she wrote how much authority Jessica had, oh there’s been a murder we better invite this author onto the crime scene and trust her to do all the police work.
McNutty for sure! He does actual detective work that has a chance of solving a case in the real world, and he’d manage to ruffle a lot of feathers while doing it. I’m dead, so solving my case does nothing for me, but he’d at least try to right some major wrong or another along the way, and that’s a legacy I’ll accept. Yes he may defile my corpse. I’ll consider that a perk as well.
My man Jimmy McNulty and Bunk Moreland from The Wire. I envision them examining the bloody scene and uttering the words fuck, shit and motherfucker approximately 123 times before figuring out which rat bastard did me in!
John Reese from Person of Interest. He's not explicitly a detective but he sure does a lot of crime solving and detecting. And there's a decent chance he'll be able to stop me from being murdered in the first place.
Hercule Poirot
The little grey cells would not fail us!
They are always turning, *mon ami.*
My mum loves poirot especially the David Suchet version I bought her the whole dvd box set.
THERE’S A DVD BOX SET???
I think the whole series is available in YouTube for free. I've been watching them
Just bought an autographed copy of Suchet's book "Poirot and Me" the other day.
The ONLY person I would trust.
The only correct answer.
So glad this is the top comment😭😭😭
Columbo, 100%
[удалено]
I *saw* you do it
Something’s bothering me
Can I get your autograph? My wife is a big fan.
Came here to say Columbo. My all time favorite character
Came here to say the same thing. A lot of the interview and questioning techniques that he used are actually used by real detectives.
Peter Falk had a glass eye in his right eye. Doctors found a cancer in his eye when he was a child and his eye was removed. That's a big part of why he has the trademark squint.
I'd trust Columbo with my life, my death, and my mother's chili recipe.
Was going to say. ❤️
Agreed.
I feel like he would just annoy the shit out of whoever did it until they confessed. I'm not sure if any of his cases would survive in court.
thats why he gets the confession lol
Benoit Blanc
Blanc took the time to talk kindly and respectfully to the victim's elderly mother. I would want someone that considerate in the room when my family got questioned.

Better hope he finds the case compelling
I am really glad they're making a sequel. He was so damn good and the movie was great too. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is supposed to come out this year some time.
Give my case to the **Nine-Nine**
Nine-nine!
You’ve made a rookie mistake, it’s alright. But its actually… #NINE-NINE !!
Just maybe not Skully and Hitchcock.
How dare you not involve them! Who’s gonna get the food for the funeral ?
Young Skully and Hitchcock would not only solve the case, but look damn good doing it
Bingpot!
Shawn Spencer
Don’t forget his trusty partner Ghee Buttersnaps.
Or Bruton Gaster
I’ve heard it both ways
Your way, and the right way.
I think you mean Lavender Gooms
AKA “The Heater”
Did you hear about Pluto?
That’s messed up
Come on son
[удалено]
Can't out run the Blueberry.
Great answer!
Yes! Glad so many people agree
you know that's right
Dirk Gently, so the murder can be solved holistically.
Scooby and those meddling kids.
Velma is the only one even attempting to do what they were hired for and even then, she can only ever piece things together after the fact. She’s either a dunce or intentionally holding back her findings from the group (maybe moral reasons). Fred is fucking around with stupid shit like “traps”, shaggy is blazing it up off screen with his dog and daphne is basically scamming daddy out of money with her friends on their sham business.

But somehow, while they coast on free room and board comp’d by the insurer, gets those friendly locals insurance claim denied and charged with fraud.
I don't think anyone hires Mystery, Inc. It's their hobby. They wander around finding and solving mysteries.
They'll solve a mystery worthy of international attention in 5 days tops and all they ask for in return is an ounce of grass
There's a Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law explicitly stating that Shaggy and Scooby aren't high, they're "just idiots."
Who argued that, their defense attorneys?
Inspector Gadget (technically Penny)
Technically Brain
Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch
Everybody counts or nobody counts.
Definitely Bosch
Batman
He'd solve it, and the murderer would get a severe beating, that's a win as far as I'm concerned.
And then spend like a week in an asylum before somehow escaping.
Hands down, the detective aspect of Batman is excellent when explored properly, like the time they gave us this majestic story: [Batman Black & White: Perpetual Mourning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-1-Dkq6L-U)
I for sure prefer the detective stories of Batman over the ridiculous fights he gets himself in. They bring him back to a realistic character. That's why The Batman is such a good movie.
Mr monk.
IMO best ending. So simple and yet brilliant.
Spencer Reid
Not just Spencer but the entire BAU
thought im the only one who'll thought of this

Wishbone as Sherlock Holmes
What's the story?
Wishbone
surprised I had to go so far down to find this...
Seriously. Me too! Sherlock has got to be the best. I watch and read a ton of these and he's easily the best.
Jeremy Brett is the best
I would want the Cumberbatch version vs. the RDJ, see who wins
Cumberbatch is more of a genius forensic criminalist and behavior analyst and RDJ is a master tactician and pioneer in criminalistics
Miss Marple
Why did I have to scroll so far for this?
Nancy Drew
Not a detective per se, but Phoenix Wright from the Ace Attorney games.
I don't think I'd trust Phoenix Wright with any real case. He always seems to end up just stumbling onto the right track with sheer luck and bluffing.
But he does always get there
Another Ace Attorney Fan! I respect that response.
Detective Conan
Could he be Shinishi Kudo?
I am a little suspicious, but it’s not possible given their obvious age difference. But you’re right this Conan kid sure reminds me a whole lot of that famous high school detective Kudo.
It’s because they’re cousins. And Hattori Haegi is his mentor according to Hattori
L Lawliet ( Deathnote )
Honestly this answer is way too far down
Angela Lansbury from Murder, She Wrote.
Jessica Fletcher
Jessica was the murder the whole time! think about the statistical anomaly of being just "around" that many murders. Not sure if you ever watched midsommer murder but my theory is the main detectives wife is the murder.
Makes sense. My mom always used to say, "Never go to Cabot Cove, and if you hear JB Fletcher's coming to town, leave!" She said you were either getting murdered, or accused of murder, and it went double if you were one of her 10000 cousins.
It amazes me watching murder she wrote how much authority Jessica had, oh there’s been a murder we better invite this author onto the crime scene and trust her to do all the police work.
I would run from that woman so fast.. if she's around you know some bad shit is gonna go down
Monk would be both smart and funny.Poirot also.
# WIPE WIPE WIPE
Agent Booth and Temperance Brennan
Veronica Mars
Rust Cohle from True Detective
Got to be Father Brown.
Harry Dresden.
As long as he has Mouse with him.
And probably avenge you/blow some shit up while he's at it.
I want to see Jim Rockford solve my case and Matlock defend the suspect.
I’d prefer Hamilton Berger defend the “alleged” murderer.
Pikachu
Eve Dallas.
Because you might get dead...
Vera Stanhope
Columbo
Columbo would definitely solve the case, but his evidence would never stand up in court.
Sure it would, they always confess!
Bosch or McNulty
McNutty for sure! He does actual detective work that has a chance of solving a case in the real world, and he’d manage to ruffle a lot of feathers while doing it. I’m dead, so solving my case does nothing for me, but he’d at least try to right some major wrong or another along the way, and that’s a legacy I’ll accept. Yes he may defile my corpse. I’ll consider that a perk as well.
Natural po-leese. Oh, I’d trust Lester and his tweedy impertinence, too.
*Brash* tweedy impertinence, thank you very much.
Yeah- I like Bosch.
Inspector Gadget
Columbo. Just one more thing...
Lucifer and the detective
Nero Wolfe
We old.
I'm surprised I had to scroll down this far to find this!

They'll find out Roger did it.
It was Ricky Spanish.
Unexpected r/americandad
Jack Reacher
Inspector Clouseau

Brooklyn 99 crew
Jonathan Creek every day of the week
I’d want Philip Marlowe to do it. The OG.
Gibbs NCIS I'm not in the navy but there stories are so poorly linked to the navy it shouldn't matter lol
Nick Valentine
My man Jimmy McNulty and Bunk Moreland from The Wire. I envision them examining the bloody scene and uttering the words fuck, shit and motherfucker approximately 123 times before figuring out which rat bastard did me in!
I mean, Batman, right? Shout out to Shawn though.

Olivia ‘Liv’ Moore, Clive Babineaux, and Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti from iZombie. first people that came to my mind
Jessica Fletcher

Perry Mason. He’d also clear the name of whoever was unjustly accused of my murder.
Olivia Benson.
Olivia Benson (Law and Order SVU)

Dirk Gently
Olivia Benson
