Los Angeles is the home of American showbiz. It’s also, seemingly, the home of nearly every private eye in fiction. These are the most memorable movies and TV shows set in the City of Angels centered on private eyes. You’re watching them.

The storied Gunners have a lot of great history. What they don’t have, though, is a history of long-standing captains.
