The Mentalist: Pilot [series premiere]
By fred | September 24, 2008
(S01E01) Last night on CBS premiered, guess what, a new cop drama ! Yeah, I know. But at least because it’s just that, a procedural drama about a team of cops – with the help of Patrick Jane, ex-fake medium – investigating crimes. So there’s no reason why CBS should cancel the show or try to mess with it at any point : it’s already what they want it to be.
Right from the start you know what you’re getting, and for the record and despite what what sound like a similar premise between The Mentalist and USA hit-comedy Psych, those two shows aren’t the same at all. If you are looking for a fun comedy, this show isn’t what you want. But if you’re looking for a nice procedural, with a sense of humor, nothing quite new or revolutionary but something nice, and starring Simon Baker, you’ll probably like this show.
