Product Description

California Bureau of Investigation consultant Patrick Jane (Simon Baker in his Emmy®-nominated role) has a blatant lack of protocol but is self-assured and driven. The former “psychic” uses his talent for seeing the clues everyone else misses to solve the most baffling crimes. But there’s more than crime that makes this season a must-see: Lisbon and Cho reveal hints about their troubled pasts. Violence fells one CBI boss, and the new boss seems more interested in authority than teamwork. And as the Van Pelt-Rigsby relationship heats up, it threatens to cool down their careers.

Format:DVD
The second season of the Mentalist picks up roughly where the first one left off - a fresh crime series with none of the now typical high budget high tech forensics, cops dressed like high society celebrities or scenic helicopter shots of the surroundings. Patrick Jane (played by Simon Baker) is the ex-medium turned police consultant, who uses his acute powers of observation of people to solve crimes.

The Red John mass murderer case continues to hover in the background but is less defining than in the first season - the scene for it has already been set and the second season focuses more on the interpersonal relationships in the CBI team. The 'will they / won't they' thing is present throughout and without spoiling it I think the team did a good job to keep the balance right here.

So if you are looking for an amusing crime show, where the protagonists often bring a smile to your face (not that the crimes would, don't get me wrong) the Mentalist is still hard to beat, even in the second season. And the introduction of several new, colourful characters, all in some ways related and complementary, such as Sgt Bosco's team, keeps things interesting.

Whether Red John gets caught, well, dive in and find out!

So, original I hear you cry....it's a US Cop show! I am a fan of American crime shows, I'm sure you all know the type I mean, they are invariably three of four letters long and somewhere in the abbreviation includes the letters 'C' and 'I'. They now exist in a variety of forms and are still as gripping as ever, but sometimes as I watch I do think they are covering the same ground and they do give of a certain sense of deja vu. I have watched often thinking can you really get to much of a good thing......

Whether you're a fan or not of these 'The Mentalist' is a relief from this on so many levels. It follows a team working for the CBI (California Bureau Of Investigation) on homicide cases around the state. The real difference to this show against all others is you are following a team of cops, and not forensic experts, with their star turn being Patrick Jane (Simon Baker). He is a former TV psychic medium who claimed supernatural powers but really just relied on his accute and fantastic powers of observation. This unlikely marriage of Jane to the team follows an event where Serial Killer Red John killed Jane's wife and child and after a breakdown he turns his skill to understanding crime scenes and the suspects they lead him to as he works as a 'consultant' to the team. Red John does appear in the second season most notably in the brilliant season finale.

So if you have ever seen the show you'll know Patrick Jane's ability is only one part of his make-up. He is cocky, arrogant but supremely warm and charming original character who at any moment may simply become disintertested with the direction the case takes and find ice cream, walking in the hills or simply staying in the car a better option than following leads with his fellow agents. He is always unorthodox and it is often his elborate, and rule bending games, that trap the guilty party and makes this show such a different animal from the others that follow police procedure so closely.

Although Baker as Jane is the obvious lead, all the characters are well formed and have charateristics and traites all of their own. Despite the fact that each crime and investigation is almost exclusively episodic you see much more character development in Season 2. The leader of the team Agent Lisbon's hard exterior softens at times, and the will they/won't they relationship of Rigsby and Van Pelt is explored yet again. Agent Cho continues to be the perfect foil to Patrick Jane's super confident manner as the dead pan and down to earth side kick, and the show is entertaining whoever is on screen.

If the question I asked at the start of this review was can you get too much of a good thing with American Crime Shows, whichever your view, The Mentalist is certainly a welcome breathe of fresh air and a real boost to the genre and replaces that feeling of "Deja vu" with a certain "Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi" and is worthy of everyone of the five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best things onTV! 4 Dec 2010
By Nsoda16
Format:DVD
Watch this, it is great! OK, I came to 'The Mentalist' as a cynic, only watched an episode by chance but boy was I impressed! The writing is taut and exciting, there is really convincing acting from the whole cast especially the fabulous Simon Baker, as the eponymous 'Mentalist' the tortured but whimsical Patrick Jane is excellent (And pretty sexy too, I'll admit it!)! It's a really nuanced performanced, so convincing, you really buy into this character and feel with him and for him. But every character without exception is 3D and so well acted and believable. It's an example to my mind of what TV drama should be. Every series is terrific so far: I only hope they have a resoulution of some kind planned eventually (in however many series time - it's still going very strong at the mo!) rather than descend into the mediocre because this ace series deserves a cracker of an end!

I generally HATE TV - but I love this!!!
