They aren't stereotyped beautiful though are they Brin, especially the ones who play at being detectives. Ones that spring to mind are Scott and Bailey, Rosemary and Thyme, Maisie Raine (who they expect me to believe might be able to run after a criminal) and many others. But I still watch them. The same applies to the men detectives - they are even worse than the female ones. Sour faced Morse, nearly as bad Lewis, Midsomer Murders and many more. And some of them are so old they should have been retired years ago. As I said, I still watch.
