Ludwig — 4/5
It's a detective thing I like!! Which comes down to a few things. 1) It's a detective show that views its mysteries as provable by logic, which equates to, in many of the cases within its mystery-of-the-week formula, that you could in fact solve it on your own were you smart enough to do so but 2) I'm not smart enough nor do I feel dumb for not being smart enough, because no one else is either, placed next to as they are with the world's preeminent puzzle-setter who is 3) incredibly fallible. He's a know-it-all but he's pushed into a situation that's beyond him, which makes him uncomfortable and tests his faith in his knowledge, and he doesn't have that autistic asshole persona that often comes with these abilities. He is often the butt of the joke. And it's funny! And well-cast! And there's the feeling of a very serious mystery beneath the lightfooted-ness.
