Detective shows such as Elementary and The Mentalist had a good run, exceeding over a 100 episodes, and building a fan base that loves detective fiction. But Scorpion, which has largely been eclipsed by comparatively popular shows, has remained buried in the OTTverse. Loosely based on real-life experiences of its producer Walter O’Brien who is also one of the protagonists in the show, this one gives a definitive twist to the typical consultant investigator sub-genre.

But there are films that have also explored the genre through the lens of a crime thriller, rendering a gripping watch like none other. Oriol Paulo’s sci-fi thriller Mirage is a great example and it’s our Lost and Found for today. Read more

If you’re a sucker for whodunits, it’s impossible you’ve not kept up with the works of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie. Their contributions to the world of amateur and professional sleuths has defined the debilitating role of detectives in contemporary literature and popular culture. Many author-backed screen iterations have managed to realize the mood and mayhem of the written word while some have failed to translate the magic of the novels.
