Atypical ‘how catch ’em’ detective serial. Decades later, you can still remember discrete episodes. Here’s one with Louis Jourdan

I cant decide whether Columbo is better than Monk.

Some people question how Columbo episodes can work, since there’s no mystery involved. But they work by making the viewer identify with the killer, rather than the detective. We know exactly what the murderer knows, which at the beginning is a lot more than Columbo knows. The tension builds as the detective comes closer and closer to finding discovering “our” secret. WE know the significance of every clue even before he does, which makes us experience the anxiety of the pursuit.
