The Mentalist

This crime drama from David Nutter (Supernatural, Without a Trace) centres on Patrick Jane (Simon Baker, Smith), a well-known former television psychic who, after being exposed as a fraud, uses his very real abilities as a mentalist to help the California Bureau of Investigation solve crimes. As a mentalist, Patrick uses his highly-developed skills of observation, deduction and manipulation to aid the Serious Crimes unit. He’s charismatic, if a bit odd - an edgy, modern Sherlock Holmes whose controversial methods often cross the line, but ultimately prove him right. Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney, Prison Break) is a top agent with the FBI who often works with Patrick. Though she grudgingly recognizes his talents, she is determined to solve cases with or without him.
