Columbo (1971)
Columbo is a friendly, verbose, disheveled-looking police detective who is consistently underestimated by his suspects. Despite his unprepossessing appearance and apparent absentmindedness, he shrewdly solves all of his cases and secures all evidence needed for indictment. His formidable eye for detail and meticulously dedicated approach often become clear to the killer only late in the storyline.

What critics compared Columbo to
…why hasn’t he starred in a “Columbo” reboot?
Ruffalo is on terrific form too, shambling around like a modern-day Columbo…
Mark Ruffalo plays a world-weary detective, giving off a shambling fatigue vibe like Peter Falk did when he played COLUMBO.
Ruffalo is perfectly cast as the slovenly detective with a keen mind, a la Columbo.
…you have a new puzzle to solve with him per episode, like Columbo…
…after a Columbo-style “one more thing” from Daemon…
