“Oh, just one more thing...”

★ 8.1 /10 (839) • 1971–2003

Crime Drama Mystery

Creator William Link, Richard Levinson

Columbo builds its mysteries backward: viewers watch the killer plan and commit a seemingly perfect murder before Lieutenant Columbo, a rumpled LAPD detective in a battered raincoat, ambles in to unravel it through sheer persistence. Peter Falk carries the entire series on a single, indelible performance — squinting, forgetful, endlessly circling back with 'just one more thing' until his wealthy, self-satisfied suspects realize too late they've been outmaneuvered. The show's pleasure lies not in whodunit but in watching overconfidence curdle into panic as an unassuming public servant refuses to let a detail go. Elegant, patient, and quietly subversive about class, it remains the gold standard of the inverted detective story.
