Seriously. Not even an honorable mention for Teresa Lisbon?! The Mentalist was amazing and Lisbon was a great character. She should have been on this list.
Okay the list isn't too bad, but here's my top 10 1. Olivia Benson (SVU) 2. Emily Prentiss (Criminal minds) 3. Kate Beckett (Castle) 4. Temperance Brennan (Bones) 5. Ziva David (NCIS) 6. Catherine Willows (CSI) 7. Jane Rizzoli (Rizzoli and Isles) 8. Lily Rush (Cold case) 9. Kensi Blye (NCIS: LA) 10. Myka Bering (Warehouse 13) Honourable Mentions: Stella Bonasera (CSI: NY), Teresa Lisbon (The mentalist), Gillian Foster (Lie to me), and there's probably a whole lot more that I missed :)
I don't understand it either....i also don't understand why Ziva from NCIS, Kensi from Navy CIS L.A, Jane Rizzoli from Rizzoli and Isles and Laura Diamond from Detective Laura Diamond are not even honorable mentions...come on, I mean Ziva?! And Lisbon! They are great Detectives! Or Agents....gets to the same... Does anybody here watches DLD? I feel lonely...
+Mojo Khan I've made a list called Top 10 Young Adult Fictional Characters and I need a lot of people to respond to it and it's under the name Alex Torres Please share this 😉
I expected her to at least be on the honorable mentions. I wanted her to be on the list, but no. A shame its my favorite show, but I'm happy that prentiss, olivia and bones made it.
These are not exactly police investigators characters. But if you liked Dana Scully, you MUST adore Gillian Anderson in the Fall. She is LEGEN (wait for it) DARY!
I think she is better than elliot stabler she had more potential and I think she is one of the strongest characters on TV along with lily rush from cold case as well
Ziva David definitely should have been on here. She was literally the most badass character on TV. She is literally a ninja. I was thinking Olivia Benson would probably get no.1 but Ziva if not no.1 should definitely have gotten no.2.
I love Law and Order SVU, I knew Olivia Benson was number one, she is an incredible detective, and she has been through so much in the series that she deserves the number one spot.
I Iove Olivia benson she is an amazing detective and has went through way too much I love her so much, remember when Rollins had a fling with a detective on Chicago pd, adam ruzek
@@katywallace-bertram4557 Dana scully, Olivia Benson, and Lily Rush are my three favorite detective so far and and i like Olivia and Cassidy as a couple than Amanda and Nick it is just so entertaining to watch them together
Erin Lindsay from Chicago PD should have at least made honorable mention. Also Ziva David from NCIS should have been in the top 10 and you didn't even mention her. I'm also a big Kensi Byle from NCISLA fan. Also you can't forget Kono from Hawaii Five 0. But seriously no Ziva. Come on she's one of the best characters on one of the best crime shows. Why is she not on this list.
+Mojo Khan but they said at the beginning of the video it didn't need to actually be a detective they just had to help solve signs and catch criminals with there investigation skills.
You forgot Stella Bonasera from CSI NY!From seasons 1-6,she was an awesome female detective,and a very sympathetic one to love very much;she even had such good chemistry with Detective Mac Taylor that for the longest,I was convinced they were/would become a couple!Where is she?
She is #3 for me, behind Kate Beckett and Stella Gibson. I like her character (she is a cop but also a gambler), her sense of humour and her devastating smile.
My favourite Female TV Detective : Katherine Beckett (Captain -Castle 'S8'), Stella Gibson ( The Fall) and Olivia Benson ( Law & Order: Special Victims Unit -Lieutenant 'S17 and S18) !!
All my favs but one was here. The lady from "The Mentalist". I'm terrible at names but she had to deal with Patrick and still be a great detective at the CBI.
Love, love, LOVE Olivia Benson!! But me personally would've put Kate Beckett on the 2nd place. Cause I love her. And Emily Prentiss is a great female detective. I was kinda dissapointed that she didn't get into a relationship with Reid in Criminal Minds... And the serie Jessica Jones looks REALLY good. I think I'm going to watch this serie trough Netflix. Good video by the wah Ms. Mojo
My top list: 1. Olivia Benson L&O SVU 2. Lily Rush from Cold Case 3. Kate Beckett from Castle 4. Ziva David from NCIS 5. Theresa Lisbon from The Mentalist 6. Kensi Blye from NCIS LA 7. Jessica Jones from Jessica Jones 8. Joan Watson from Elementary 9. Poppy Montgomery from Without A Trace 10. CCH Bounder from SHIELD HM: Jane Rizzoli, ladies from CSI (original one), Karen Sisco, Kaitlyn Kate Todd from NCIS and Kalinda Sharma from The Good Wife
Christine Cagney (Cagney & Lacey) Professor Sam Ryan (Silent Witness)Jane Rizzoli & Mora Isles (Rizzoli & Isles) Abby Sciuto (NCIS)Annie Walker (Cover Affairs)Angie Flynn (Motives) Jane Timoney (Prime Suspect USA)Sara Sidle (CSI)Catherine Willows (CSI)Joan Watson (Elementary).... to name but a few, very strong women who are solving crime... which I grew up with over the years.
Brenda 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 Olivia 💙 Kate 💙 Where is Theresa Lisbon? Where is Sharon Raydor? Where is Stella Bonasera? Where is Katherine Willows? Where is Alexandra Eames? Where is Dana Scully?
So frickin' happy that Olivia Benson is number 1! I was pissed when I saw she wasn't on Ms. Mojo's list of Kick Ass Female TV Characters. Also happy to see Debra Morgan was at least given an honorable mention!
Yeah but let's be real even though I like elliot Olivia was always better than him from the start and I meant as a cop/detective when he was on the show Olivia was like his sidekick when she was the most dedicated and hard working and she had more potential and I hate it when a lot of people complaining about Olivia being the main character of the show like give her credit for her character
Rizzolli and Isles rules!! Jane Rizzolli and Moira Isles. You can't possibly leave them out of the top 10. but yes to Olivia Benson, SVU and Brenda Johnson, The Closer
Two big misses in this list, both from British TV: Ellie Miller in 'Broadchurch', but also, on top of it, Catherine Cawood in 'Happy Valley'. And also Ziva David in NCIS, of course.
Miss fisher is THE most underrated tv show/female detective, she's so badass, and not only for stepping up as a (female) detective in the early 1900 (a society ruled essentially by men), she does whatever she wants and no man (or woman for that matter) can stop her
Glad Olivia Benson is number one, I wish Lily Rush from Cold Case was on the actual countdown instead of being an honorable mention. She was great in it.
My List of the Top 10 Female TV Detectives 1. Jessica Fletcher (Murder She Wrote) 2. Jane Marple (Agatha Christie’s Marple) 3. Joan Watson (Elementary) 4. Phryne Fisher (Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries) 5. Det. Joss Carter (Person of Interest) 6. Precious Ramotswe (The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency) 7. Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars) 8. Claire McCarron (Leg Work) 9. Nancy Drew (The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries) 10. Laura Holt (Remington Steele) Honorable Mentions Velma Dinkley (Scooby-Doo franchise); Chris Cagney and Mary Beth Lacey (Cagney and Lacey); Angie Everett (Private Eyes); Kate Beckett (Castle); Jane Tennison (Prime Suspect); Teresa Lisbon (The Mentalist); Lt. Anita Van Buren (Law & Order); Jill Munroe, Sabrina Duncan, Kelly Garrett (Charlie’s Angelis); Pepper Anderson (Police Woman); Kalinda Sharma (The Good Wife); Jessica Jones (Jessica Jones)
Although I was hoping that Jane Rizzoli would at least be an honorable mention, I'm so glad to see Sarah Linden, Stella Gibson & Lily Rush on this list, as they were all in such excellent shows and such excellent detectives. Of course Olivia Benson is deservedly #1, she has been kicking ass for decades.
Stana Katic as Kate Beckett is the reason why I love castle she makes the show so much better Abc announced they were going to drop her fans all over the world including myself stood up for her
She doesn't do exactly criminal investigation. She is a bit like Olivia Dunham in Fringe. But it doesn't matter because Gillian Anderson is LEGEN (wait for it) DARY in The Fall.
7 In this list is Temperance "Bones" Brennan, she is my most favorite female character in full crime shows and TV. But in my opinion is Bones number 1.
Where is DCI Vera Stanhope (Vera)? She is an awesome detective, you also missed Agent Ziva David (NCIS), Sara Sidle (CSI), DI Rachel Bailey and DS Janet Scott (Scott and Bailey), Saga Noren (The Bridge), also Saga is a positive media representation of female Asperger's Syndrome, Jane Marple from Miss Marple deserves her own place on the list, you also missed Laura Thyme and Rosemary Boxer (Rosemary and Thyme), These are brilliant women detectives come on you need to do a second list
I love that olivia benson is number one but I would have loved to see prentiss higher because she is the best. Also if we are counting marvel ... Peggy Carter would be number one for sure!!!!
Maybe it's a choice not to include any supernatural/S-F TV show but I think there is a few characters to mention there : Dana Scully (X-Files), Olivia Dunham (Fringe), Vicky Nelson (Blood ties), Jody Mills (Supernatural).... Not to mention some TV show in 'real world' characters : Laura Diamond (the Mysteries of Laura), Miss Phryne Fisher (Miss Fisher Murder's Mysteries), and all the detectives we saw in Criminal Minds and NCIS !Loved this Top 10 tough :) I soo glad Becket is in here, even if I would have put her at the 1rst place ^^
I thought at Carrie Wells (Unforgettable), Megan Hunt (Body of Proof), Rizzoli & Isles and Saga Norén (Bron, the original version of The Bridge) but I forgot her... Good point!
Seriously. Not even an honorable mention for Teresa Lisbon?! The Mentalist was amazing and Lisbon was a great character. She should have been on this list.
YESSS LISBON
Wait she’s not a detective
@@sophiesspot8541 yes she is a detective, was till season 6
Agreed
She's pretty useless
Okay the list isn't too bad, but here's my top 10 1. Olivia Benson (SVU) 2. Emily Prentiss (Criminal minds) 3. Kate Beckett (Castle) 4. Temperance Brennan (Bones) 5. Ziva David (NCIS) 6. Catherine Willows (CSI) 7. Jane Rizzoli (Rizzoli and Isles) 8. Lily Rush (Cold case) 9. Kensi Blye (NCIS: LA) 10. Myka Bering (Warehouse 13) Honourable Mentions: Stella Bonasera (CSI: NY), Teresa Lisbon (The mentalist), Gillian Foster (Lie to me), and there's probably a whole lot more that I missed :)
For me Stella bonasera is number two behind olivia Benson but good ranking
The Closer is my top pick.
Chloe Decker (Lucifer)
Wow. Kensi Blye. My badass girl
@@aashaphoebeanton7288 Yesss. Detective
How the hell is Kate Beckett only 4th?!?!?
Should be nr 1
yeah disgusting indeed... she should be on number one slot!!!
Kate Beckett!!
Yes I love her!
also how is Teresa lisbon not even an honorable mention???
I don't understand it either....i also don't understand why Ziva from NCIS, Kensi from Navy CIS L.A, Jane Rizzoli from Rizzoli and Isles and Laura Diamond from Detective Laura Diamond are not even honorable mentions...come on, I mean Ziva?! And Lisbon! They are great Detectives! Or Agents....gets to the same...
Does anybody here watches DLD? I feel lonely...
+Lina Romanoff sorry, I meant Mysteries of Laura, in Germany it's named different
Shout out to The Mentalist having seven seasons on air and still being ignored by everyone.
Exactly
YO GUYS SHES A SENIOR AGENT NOT A DETECTIVE
Come on, you gotta be kidding me. WHERE is Ziva David and why is Prentiss only #10?
so true
that's I was saying
I guess Ziva's a federal agent and not a detective.
+Mojo Khan emily prentiss is a frderal agent aswell
+Mojo Khan I've made a list called Top 10 Young Adult Fictional Characters and I need a lot of people to respond to it and it's under the name Alex Torres
Please share this 😉
What about Teresa Lisbon on The Mentalist? O.o Not even an honorable mention?
That One Cosmic Autobot yess agreed
totaly ive seen the series like 100times still can't belive it got canceld
Yes!!
I was wondering the same thing, my baby deserves some recognition!!
Where is she? Lisbon is my favorite!
Who else say through this whole list waiting for Olivia Benson to be no.1
If she wasn't I was disliking the video
She is always the number one
Obviously
I like Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles from "Rizzoli and Isles"
Same
They should have been at least honorable mentions.
+Noam Landau
Jane's the most badass one ;) But Kate Beckett is also close
+elHEARTBREAKER really.... Just wow
GentlewomanMcUnknown I LOVE Kate Beckett. So sad to see the show end
Jane Rizzoli? Anyone?
I love Jane!!!!!!
I expected her to at least be on the honorable mentions. I wanted her to be on the list, but no. A shame its my favorite show, but I'm happy that prentiss, olivia and bones made it.
Exactly! She kicks ass.
I love her
I love her she is amazing! I was so angry she wasn't in the list.
What about Dana Scully from the X-files?
I can't believe Jane Rizzoli wasn't on this list.
Ziva David from NCIS
Dana Scully from The X-Files
Joan Watson from Elementary
Agreed
I love Ziva David and Dana Scully but I think they're considered federal agents.
+Mojo Khan yeah but some on this list like Jessica Jones are only PIs and not real detectives either. *shrug*
Mojo Khan Prentiss was ALSO a federal agent in CM 2-7
And add on 12 and 13
Prentiss should have been at a higher ranking
Someone finally
I was shocked that she was just at ten🙆♀️
What about Theresa Lisbon from The Mentalist?
Olivia Dunham ( Fringe ) ?
Dana Scully ( X-Files ) ?
I love fringe and the xfile
These are not exactly police investigators characters. But if you liked Dana Scully, you MUST adore Gillian Anderson in the Fall. She is LEGEN (wait for it) DARY!
Well, they are both working for the FBI, right? investigating crime cases, counts as detectives for me ;)
I think they are in the police video
Olivia Benson better be number 1
She is
agreed
yes yes yes yes
Jade Jones I know I'm hoping to see her
I think she is better than elliot stabler she had more potential and I think she is one of the strongest characters on TV along with lily rush from cold case as well
Where are the Brooklyn 99 girls??!!? But yeah Olivia Benson is a boss!
S Dev FINALLY someone talks about rosa and amy
S Dev omg i’m watching that show rn its sooo cool
yessssss
First female detective coming to mind: Miss Marple - only an honerable mention :/
Theresa Lisbon deserved at least an Honorable mention or if not a spot in this list
What about Lily Rush from Cold Case? Cold Case is so underrated.
I know that show was good
exactly
She was in the honorable mentions.
I thought Lilly should be on too!
I love she and Scotty Valens
My top 3:
Kate Beckett
Joan Watson
Olivia Benson
I forgot about Joan Watson! This is a great top 3. I love it :)
Thanks. :D
My Top 3 : Katherine Beckett , Olivia Benson and Jessica Fletcher !!!
and ziva
Ziva David definitely should have been on here. She was literally the most badass character on TV. She is literally a ninja. I was thinking Olivia Benson would probably get no.1 but Ziva if not no.1 should definitely have gotten no.2.
I love Law and Order SVU, I knew Olivia Benson was number one, she is an incredible detective, and she has been through so much in the series that she deserves the number one spot.
I Iove Olivia benson she is an amazing detective and has went through way too much I love her so much, remember when Rollins had a fling with a detective on Chicago pd, adam ruzek
@@katywallace-bertram4557 Dana scully, Olivia Benson, and Lily Rush are my three favorite detective so far and and i like Olivia and Cassidy as a couple than Amanda and Nick it is just so entertaining to watch them together
And how can Emily Prentiss not be higher up on this list?
1.Ziva David!!!!!!!
2.Jane Rizzoli
3.Kensi Blye
4.Bones
Erin Lindsay from Chicago PD should have at least made honorable mention. Also Ziva David from NCIS should have been in the top 10 and you didn't even mention her. I'm also a big Kensi Byle from NCISLA fan. Also you can't forget Kono from Hawaii Five 0. But seriously no Ziva. Come on she's one of the best characters on one of the best crime shows. Why is she not on this list.
I was thinking the same thing about Ziva but then maybe she's a federal agent so maybe this list isn't for her. She's not even a detective.
+Mojo Khan but they said at the beginning of the video it didn't need to actually be a detective they just had to help solve signs and catch criminals with there investigation skills.
+Mojo Khan she was an officer before she was an agent plus Emily from criminal minds is a special agent
Jessica Smith Soz my phone speakers wasn't working when I watched this video.
Bones isn't a detective OR an agent. She's a scientist...
Ziva David shoul've been here! One of the most badass female detectives ever.
You forgot Stella Bonasera from CSI NY!From seasons 1-6,she was an awesome female detective,and a very sympathetic one to love very much;she even had such good chemistry with Detective Mac Taylor that for the longest,I was convinced they were/would become a couple!Where is she?
I really believed that Miss Fisher could be on this list, but I guess nobody watches this serie
Thank you. I honestly thought I was the only one who watches it.
I am a huge fan of Phryne!
My parents watch that show. They love it.
Yeah I was thinking the same
Oh I forgot about her, but she wasn't a real detective
EMILY IS 10 AND BONES 7? WHAT IS GOING ON
How isn't Carrie wells on this list from unforgettable, she can't forget anything making her the perfect detective and she's hilarious!
Yeah she's aswome!!!
Yes!!!
She is #3 for me, behind Kate Beckett and Stella Gibson. I like her character (she is a cop but also a gambler), her sense of humour and her devastating smile.
Unforgettable is so underrated!! :(
Omg yess! Cant believe a&e ruined it with al dying and nothing about carries sister
My favourite Female TV Detective : Katherine Beckett (Captain -Castle 'S8'), Stella Gibson ( The Fall) and Olivia Benson ( Law & Order: Special Victims Unit -Lieutenant 'S17 and S18) !!
My favourite detectives are
1. Saga Noren (Bron/Broen)
2. Ziva David
3. Veronica Mars
uhm... where's Ziva David?!
Still upset that kensi blye, Erin Lindsay, Ziva, and Jane Rizzoli aren't on this list 😔
Honestly I was expecting Rizzoli and Isles in the list.. I miss the tandem of the two.. hope they will make a spin-off for the show..
Brennan deserved a spot in the top 5! And where is Scully?
princesskagome100 I agree all the way
Bones should be number 1! (In my opinion)
yes
fr
I agree
She's not a detective though. She's a forensic anthropologist who works with the FBI ("that's why no gun").
Luna Novak I know. They still put her on the list though. She helps solves murders. Doesn't make her a detective, but in the somewhat league of one
I also really like Chloe Deker from Lucifer
Decker. I love her too. And this video was filmed in 2017 when s2 of Lucifer started, they could know this character
I love Emily prentiss!!!
Umm Agent Lisbon?? The Mentalist?? Total badass
Debra Morgan really should have been more than an honorable mention
So true. She would be going crazy with the F bombs.
All my favs but one was here. The lady from "The Mentalist". I'm terrible at names but she had to deal with Patrick and still be a great detective at the CBI.
Teresa Lisbon
Love, love, LOVE Olivia Benson!! But me personally would've put Kate Beckett on the 2nd place. Cause I love her. And Emily Prentiss is a great female detective. I was kinda dissapointed that she didn't get into a relationship with Reid in Criminal Minds... And the serie Jessica Jones looks REALLY good. I think I'm going to watch this serie trough Netflix. Good video by the wah Ms. Mojo
Emily should be at the higher place
I knew Olivia would be at number one, love that girl! :D

1. Olivia Benson L&O SVU
2. Lily Rush from Cold Case
3. Kate Beckett from Castle
4. Ziva David from NCIS

Where is Katherine Willows?

Detective Erin Lindsey, Chicago PD should be on the list.
I grew up with Jessica Fletcher so she will always be my number one femal detective.
#1 Jessica Fletcher
#2 Beckett
#3 Lisbon
So frickin' happy that Olivia Benson is number 1! I was pissed when I saw she wasn't on Ms. Mojo's list of Kick Ass Female TV Characters. Also happy to see Debra Morgan was at least given an honorable mention!
Where’s JJ from Criminal Minds!!! She’s a boss
was there any doubt that Olivia Benson would be number one? Damn good choice. I so miss Stabler in the series dammit...
Yeah but let's be real even though I like elliot Olivia was always better than him from the start and I meant as a cop/detective when he was on the show Olivia was like his sidekick when she was the most dedicated and hard working and she had more potential and I hate it when a lot of people complaining about Olivia being the main character of the show like give her credit for her character
Catherine Willows or Sara Sidle from CSI? Why are you guys hate that show?
Rizzolli and Isles rules!! Jane Rizzolli and Moira Isles. You can't possibly leave them out of the top 10. but yes to Olivia Benson, SVU and Brenda Johnson, The Closer
3 words. Jane Motherfucking Rizzolli. I feel betrayed.
here’s my list
1. Temperance Brennan (Bones)
2. Ziva David (NCIS)

6. Kate Todd (NCIS
7. Jennifer Jareau (Criminal Minds)
8. Camille Saroyan (Bones)

Gillian Anderson as Stella Gibson better be on this list---and high! AMAZING show.
Two big misses in this list, both from British TV: Ellie Miller in 'Broadchurch', but also, on top of it, Catherine Cawood in 'Happy Valley'.
And also Ziva David in NCIS, of course.
Damn right Olivia Benson is first.Though I would have included Jane Rizzoli in there somewhere.
Olivia Benson better be here!!
Very happy Olivia is number 1 I love her but where is Jane Rizzoli she totally deserved a spot on this list.
Miss fisher is THE most underrated tv show/female detective, she's so badass, and not only for stepping up as a (female) detective in the early 1900 (a society ruled essentially by men), she does whatever she wants and no man (or woman for that matter) can stop her
Glad Olivia Benson is number one, I wish Lily Rush from Cold Case was on the actual countdown instead of being an honorable mention. She was great in it.

❤️
Can't believe you missed one that inspired Beckett amongst others -and owned her own detective agency - Laura Holt!
Totally agree laura holt character was amazing Remington Steele was amazing detective series
theresa Lisbon??
SHARON FREAKING RADOR FROM MAJOR CRIMES
Would have liked to seen Jane Rizzoli and Detective Ani Bezzerides from True Detective.
Although I was hoping that Jane Rizzoli would at least be an honorable mention, I'm so glad to see Sarah Linden, Stella Gibson & Lily Rush on this list, as they were all in such excellent shows and such excellent detectives. Of course Olivia Benson is deservedly #1, she has been kicking ass for decades.
Alexandra Eames from Law and Order Criminal intent is so great too but she's so underrated
Totally agree
Stella Gibson!! Missing Dana Scully though, the queen of logic
Good list though
Love the choice for No. 1! Olivia is awesome, but I honestly would have put Phryne Fisher from 'Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries' as my number one pick.
1. Joan Watson
2. Cagney and Lacey
3. Nancy Drew (1970s tv show)
4. Charlie's Angels
Joan was ok
Stana Katic as Kate Beckett is the reason why I love castle she makes the show so much better Abc announced they were going to drop her fans all over the world including myself stood up for her
What!!!? No Scully? I need an explanation from msmojo!
She doesn't do exactly criminal investigation. She is a bit like Olivia Dunham in Fringe. But it doesn't matter because Gillian Anderson is LEGEN (wait for it) DARY in The Fall.
LOVE the fact Emily Prestis got the nod - but #10? Def deserves to be higher considering the amount of cases she had on CM
My top 3 are Olivia benson, Emily prentiss, and Lily rush.
I was sure Lisbon from the mentalist and Santiago from Brooklyn nine-nine would be on here
7 In this list is Temperance "Bones" Brennan, she is my most favorite female character in full crime shows and TV. But in my opinion is Bones number 1.
Yes!!! Bones forever!
Yes!!! Bones is number 1!!!
What about Sharon from Major Crimes?
Liv absolutely deserves the #1 spot. She is truly amazing.
Where is DCI Vera Stanhope (Vera)? She is an awesome detective, you also missed Agent Ziva David (NCIS), Sara Sidle (CSI), DI Rachel Bailey and DS Janet Scott (Scott and Bailey), Saga Noren (The Bridge), also Saga is a positive media representation of female Asperger's Syndrome, Jane Marple from Miss Marple deserves her own place on the list, you also missed Laura Thyme and Rosemary Boxer (Rosemary and Thyme),
These are brilliant women detectives come on you need to do a second list
Olivia Benson has to be #1.
I KNEW IT!
I love that olivia benson is number one but I would have loved to see prentiss higher because she is the best. Also if we are counting marvel ... Peggy Carter would be number one for sure!!!!
I hope there's a part 2 to this... Catherine from CSI, Stella from CSI:NY and Abby from NCIS just to name three very good candidates not mentioned.
Catherine was awesome
Abby too
My top-5
1. Miss Marple
2. Kate Beckett
3. Chloe Decker
4. Teresa Lisbon
5. Temperance "Bones" Brennan
Erin Lindsay from Chicago PD should be on the list! Kate Beckett should be at least 2nd, if Olivia is the first, only because of seniority...
Haven't watched the video yet but Olivia benson has to be #1
That's the first thing I said!!!
+honeybun13 yeah ikr!!!
She is, hallelujah
+Ashley “reneegirl101” Renee you can say that again!!!XD
Olivia is bæ 😍
Maybe it's a choice not to include any supernatural/S-F TV show but I think there is a few characters to mention there : Dana Scully (X-Files), Olivia Dunham (Fringe), Vicky Nelson (Blood ties), Jody Mills (Supernatural).... Not to mention some TV show in 'real world' characters : Laura Diamond (the Mysteries of Laura), Miss Phryne Fisher (Miss Fisher Murder's Mysteries), and all the detectives we saw in Criminal Minds and NCIS !Loved this Top 10 tough :) I soo glad Becket is in here, even if I would have put her at the 1rst place ^^
I love everyone in Criminal Minds
MYSTERIES OF LAURA!!!!
I thought at Carrie Wells (Unforgettable), Megan Hunt (Body of Proof), Rizzoli & Isles and Saga Norén (Bron, the original version of The Bridge) but I forgot her... Good point!
oooh! They should make two lists!
Yessss! I thought I'm the onliest...she's great, isn't she? :D I love her humour
Same!
No miss Fisher or Vera Stanhope or Joan Watson?!
Miss Fisher is a great character, but she's not a detective
Quantico (netflix)
Rizzoli and Isles (Hulu)
Both are female lead
Emily and Brennan 'Bones'
From what I hear prime suspect was only 15 episodes, yet it was an absolute classic
Yes! Olivia! I love law and order and especially her character.
