THE DETECTIVES & CRIME-SOLVERS
- Lie To Me — Good fictional drama about reading facial expressions & tics
- Veronica Mars — Like a modern Nancy Drew who is not as well-adjusted
- Castle — Nathan Fillion. Do I really need to say any more? VERY funny.
- Monk — Neurotic OCD detective who is extremely observant & brilliant
- Law and Order: Criminal Intent – Love Detective Bobby Goren!
- Bones – I initially hated the character Bones, but now I think she’s awesome
- Honourable Mention: Psych — More comedy than true detective drama
- Honourable Mention: Dexter – It’s intense/good but makes my stomach turn
- Honourable Mention: Criminal Minds – Too realistic for me (nightmares)
Can you tell I love the genre? 
Sherlock Holmes made a very big impression on me as an 10-year old.
P.S. And if you can think of any other good detective-ish TV series, let me know in the comments; I’m always on the lookout for more.

(English: “Eat for free at McDonald’s“; they call it “McDo” as a nickname in France, pronounced ”Mek-doh”)
“Ca se passe comme ça chez McDo”
(English: “That’s how it happens at McDonald’s“, which was the original signature catch phrase of McDonald’s in France before the global “I’m lovin’ it“)
