* PlayingWithCharacterType: Creator/ArdalOHanlon made his career playing cheerful, outgoing but dim-witted nice guys who commonly struggle to have a grasp of the situation and instead fixate on the irrelevant details, most famously Father Dougal. Jack Mooney follows many of the same beats, being an easy-going, warm, friendly, and extroverted individual, except for the fact that he’s also a highly intelligent and skilled detective. His habit of focusing on seemingly irrelevant details is him picking up on an obscure clue that is often key to cracking the case. Similarly, his seeming absentmindedness and obliviousness during interrogations is a front to catch suspects off guard. He even commonly goes into random tangents or pretends to need reminding of the matter in hand in manners reminiscent of his previous characters, only to hit them with a genuine hard-hitting question the moment they feel at ease.
