Episode #81 – Watching (and Reading) the Detectives
Everyone loves a good mystery. A well crafted “Who Done It?” is among the most exciting kind of story to read or watch; and a huge part of those stories is the Detective, a focal character who learns all the plot details of the case as the audience does. A common practice for the mystery genre, is to take the audience through a brand new case, populated with a whole new slew of supporting players and the detective character acting as the only returning character. Often, over time, we get to peel the layers of these brilliant men and women of mystery and discover more about our favorite sleuths. Today the panel will list their favorite fictional detectives.
