I got interested after I saw Jotaro mention it in JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Part 3.
This show is a timeless gem. I really liked first 3 or so episodes, but the “car exhaust” monologue at the end of maybe the fourth episode made me fall in love with Columbo.
Please watch it if you haven’t yet. If it’s your type of show, you’re missing out big time.
And one other thing: I’m only on episode 5 so please spare me some spoilers in the comments 😅
Yeah but in columbo all the villains are smug rich white people who expect to get away with it because the law and society are usually on their side. Then columbo comes in and they get fucked.
It’s so far from reality it doesn’t really work as propaganda for cops. It’s basically a Robin Hood story. Shit most of the cops aside from columbo are fawning idiots.
I like to think he just has a fake badge and everyone just kinda believes he’s a cop. He’s just a fellah that enjoys chilli and bringing down smug rich guys
