40 Times TV Detectives Solved the Mystery of Your Lost Libido

I'm all about crime dramas, especially if they're British and especially if they feature hot detectives. So if you are also a fan, I have what you need to fuel your detective-loving fire. I've rounded up 40 GIFs featuring the sexiest, dreamiest TV detectives — who really have it all: brains, wit, and dramatic and stylish outerwear. Because if there are two things that I'm passionate about, it's murder mysteries and sexy GIFs. Warning: a couple of NSFW butts and some True Detective, Sherlock, Luther, and Elementary spoilers are ahead (if you're not caught up).
