Columbo
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1466074/
He's a brilliant detective who mostly hides how brilliant he is behind acting oblivious and dumb. A bunch of influence for
comes from him in my opinion.
I've only watched a few episodes but he also seems to mostly investigate prideful upper class people, which also makes him satisfying to watch. It's also the only reason his schick works so well imo, and why they don't just call a lawyer or refuse to say anything lol.
Yeah fundamentally it's their own arrogance and superiority that makes them underestimate Columbo. They think "I lucked out, this cop is stupid" and never consider anything beyond that, the guard comes down completely.
