Elke crimineel maakt de fout om luitenant Columbo te onderschatten. Hij is dan ook een politie-inspecteur met een oude verfrommelde regenjas, een sigarenstompje en een krakkemikkige Peugeot 403. Hij ziet eruit als een incompetente stuntelaar. Maar met zijn beleefdheid en zijn vele gepraat over zijn vrouw ontfutselt hij zelfs van de sluwste moordenaar een bekentenis.

Columbo Ratings & Reviews
- Karen Nakamura18 september 2025Columbo is my SMR. When I get anxious or depressed, I go on a Columbo viewing binge. He's unfailingly nice and polite. Never brags except about his wife. Always gets the bad guy or gal. And the basset hound is to die for. Why can't we all be a little like Columbo?

- joevans2730 november 2025Timeless classic. Best detective show ever. I grew up in this & I love the old style of filming from last century. Such a comfort watch
- Richard26 oktober 2025Saw it on TV and it felt like watching a detective solve crimes with a wrinkled coat, a polite smile and a mind like a steel trap. Lieutenant Columbo isn’t your typical TV cop. He’s disheveled, soft spoken and always underestimated, until he casually dismantles a suspect’s alibi with one final “just one more thing…” His cases are inverted mysteries: we see the crime, the killer and the motive up front, the thrill is watching Columbo unravel it all with relentless charm and quiet brilliance. Peter Falk owns the role. His performance is layered, sly and deeply human. The show’s guest stars often playing arrogant, wealthy killers, including legends like Leonard Nimoy, Johnny Cash and Patrick McGoohan. Each episode is a slow burn, rich with tension, wit and that signature Columbo persistence. Watching it again feels like slipping into a well worn trench coat of comfort and cleverness. It’s timeless, methodical and oddly soothing, like a chess match where the rumpled guy always wins.
