Private detectives

These characters offers the excitement of an investigation, without the constraining framework of respect for the law. Definitely more fun !

I recommend

My favourites, brilliant !

  • Only murders in the building / comedy / Disney+ / Three neighbours who have nothing in common join forces to solve murders. Excellent !
  • Sherlock / Amazon, Netflix & Disney+ ! / The famous detective, transposed in our time. Smart, and a excellent casting.
