techniques and personas before the plot thickens and
becomes more complex

nd
Lie
one of the main techniques used by
authors for centuries. Knowing the characters well
may make the action a bit slow at first but it makes remainder of the story so much
more enjoyable.

first half of the first season shows the
four central characters divided into two crimes per
episode - arranged as a segue into each of
the characters personality,
introduction on the way they handle
certain cases

some crimes reflect that of the
detective’s personal life, evidently seen in Episode 10 of the first season “Better
Half”tome

DR. Lightman
A SCIENTIFIC DETECTIVE3
rd
Obviously, Dr. Lightman came
from the scientific world.
uses science to determine whether the person is lying or telling the truth, eventually solving the crime
Holmes - The way he relates with other people and colleagues, & investigates his crimes; similar to Sherlocks relationship with Watson
Dupin – the way he distances himself from the world; knowledge of crimes is limited by newspaper clippings, the same way Lightman, although more interactive, is generally approached by third parties to help investigate as an independent investigator
Spade - he is not really the most respectful and
polite person on the planet, AAevident in the
way he interacts with people, just like Spade
who is generally described as hostile and
bastos
Fr. Brown- the way Lightman views Truth over Facts. It is somehow a moral issue for him.
Whodunnit-Cozy-Mystery of Manner & Puzzle/Locked Room 4
TH
cozy type of mystery -there is little blood seen in the episodes.
the main and minor characters are not poor people but upper or middle class ones that associates with
the “cozy” type of mystery.
DoyLe, Chesterton,
Christie, were some of the
pioneers to first use this type of detective fiction
and crime.
at least two stories in the
episodes wherein the crimes were done in a locked room setting.
The Best Policy – AN episode where A
scientist stole A new experimental drug.
Though this is only a minor case in the investigation, her
crime was committed in a
locked room set up.
Better Half – The wife of A
reporter planned to burn the
house of her husband’s
mistress. she did not succeed;
the mother of the mistress
died.
The crime was done in a locked room that killed not the targeted
one – can be said not a
successful one.
Unchained – Though the
crime was not literally shown in the episode,
it was more likely that the firefighter was
killed in a locked room by
his co-firefighter to protect the
code.
