8 Best Women Detectives on TV

Women, by nature, like to delve into the human psyche, trying to figure out the motives of actions, the intricacies of relationships between people, and notice even the most elusive details. This makes them astonishing detectives!

Here are 8 TV series about female detectives who crack hard cases like nuts!

1. Kate Beckett – Castle (2009−2016)

In this series, a writer of popular crime novels Richard Castle is asked to assist the police with a case, where he meets his muse detective Kate Beckett. She’s smart, beautiful, and kicks a lot of butts! It’s just eight seasons of the most amazing on-screen chemistry and neat plot twists.

2. Carrie Mathison – Homeland (2011- …)

At first glance, Carrie Matheson is the most ordinary CIA investigator. But if you take a closer look, you’ll understand that this lady is kind of crazy. When the deadlines catching up and the investigation needs to be finished faster, she stops taking medications for her bipolar disorder. That’s when her detective brain kicks in, which leads to a whole bunch of twists and turns.

3. Saga – Bron/Broen (2011- …)

Saga is incredibly intelligent, but she is completely unable to communicate with people or understand their emotions. She does not have a sense of humor or an ability to lie, but she is inclined to follow the written rules and laws to the tee. It’s like if Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory wore a skirt.
