I love true crime shows.

And fake crime shows.

I can't help it, and I know I'm not alone.

My favorite crime-fighting team is of course... "Buffy and her misfit Scooby gang."

But when dealing with more real-life crime and murder, there is one name on the top of my list.

Olivia Benson. First, last, and always!


Redditor PurpleFlower99 wanted everyone to share who from entertainment we would call if we ended up a corpse, because we know they'd find our killer. Or killers.

So they asked:

"Which fictional detective would you trust to solve your murder?"

Oh... I forgot the cast of Criminal Minds. I love you Reed!

"Benoit Blanc."

"Blanc took the time to talk kindly and respectfully to the victim's elderly mother. I would want someone that considerate in the room when my family got questioned."

Hey D!

"Dirk Gently, so the murder can be solved holistically."

"So true he’d figure it out in the weirdest way possible which is what I would want."

"Read the book. Yeah, the show didn’t do much for me either."

"Hieronymus 'Harry' Bosch."

"There’s really no other answer. I’m convinced that anyone posting anything else simply hasn’t seen the show or read the books."

Paddock9652

"Yeah, I am too unimportant for all those other detectives. Bosch would get it done regardless."

"Scrolled too far to see this. Harry Bosch without a doubt."

"Hercule Poirot."

"The only correct answer."

Peirot Forever! Never a dull moment.

The Classic Gang

"Scooby and those meddling kids."

IBlameItOnTheTetons

"Velma is the only one even attempting to do what they were hired for and even then, she can only ever piece things together after the fact. She’s either a dunce or intentionally holding back her findings from the group (maybe moral reasons)."

"Fred is freaking around with stupid crap like 'traps,' Shaggy is blazing it up off screen with his dog and Daphne is basically scamming daddy out of money with her friends on their sham business."

"They’re basically a scam service that gets brought in to validate 'paranormal' insurance claims. But somehow, while they coast on free room and board comp’d by the insurer, gets those friendly locals insurance claim denied and charged with fraud."

"Columbo, 100%."

"I'd trust Columbo with my life, my death, and my mother's chili recipe."

BeneejSpoor

"'Oh jeez, I shoulda thought of that.'"

The Knight

"Batman."

RedBoi_45

"He'd solve it, and the murderer would get a severe beating, that's a win as far as I'm concerned."

Ramiren

"Hands down, the detective aspect of Batman is excellent when explored properly, like the time they gave us this majestic story: Batman Black & White: Perpetual MourningSpiderman."

And so swoonworthy...

"Spencer Reid!"

"Not just Spencer but the entire BAU."

"Thought I'm the only one who'd thought of this."

The OG!

"Sherlock Holmes."

"You know how far I had to scroll to find this? He's the GOAT detective. Superhumanly smart."

Domino_Masks

Now that is quite a list of people I'd trust in my death. Avenge me.

Millie Bobby Brown Tells The Media To 'Get Off My F—king Case' After Cruel Scrutiny Over Her Looks

Stranger Things Millie Bobby Brown has called out the media—again—for their portrayal of her appearance in their headlines.

Brown's career was hard-launched when she was ten years old when she introduced the iconic "Eleven" character in the Stranger Things franchise, and the public has really struggled to accept the fact that she's a human being who will grow and change like the rest of us, meaning she can't stay ten years old forever.

MAGA Fan Gets Blunt Reality Check After Raging That His Mom Can't Afford Thanksgiving Without SNAP

MAGA Threads user @chandlerparry went viral after he tried to pin the blame on Democrats for his mother not being able to afford Thanksgiving this year due to the pause on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, only to be swiftly corrected over who actually caused the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

Newsom Offers Scathing One-Word Response To 8 Democrats Who Caved And Voted With GOP To End Shutdown

California Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the eight Democratic Senators who voted with Republicans to end the government shutdown by advancing a spending deal that notably omits an extension of expanded Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies.

Under the current agreement, the enhanced subsidies would expire, though senators would have the option to revisit the issue later in the year. Supporters of the compromise say that deferring the vote was the only viable path forward, as many Republicans refused to discuss the subsidies until the government reopened.
