The Mentalist
tells the story of Patrick Jane played by Simon Baker, a man who made a living pretending to be a psychic on television shows.
in one of those programs Patrick slanders a serial killer, known as Red Jonh, who in revenge murders his wife and daughter. It is here that Patrick's life collapses, he joins the California Bureau of Investigation, to find the murderer of his family using his talents for it
Red Jonh's signature released in 2008 and completed in 2015, is a series created by Bruno Heller.
starring these people here:
Among the most outstanding curiosities that I can mention in this series:
- The first season of this series was so successful that it surpassed series such as Dr. House, and NCIS, being the most watched series in the United States, with an audience of 19 million viewers.
- among fans of the series it is said that the character of Patrick Jane is based on Sherlock Holmes because he can read a crime scene just by looking at it, the Bureau team would be like a version of Watson and Red Jonh as Professor Moriarty
- Luke Jermay a real life Mentalist was the one who served as the model for the construction of the character of Patrick Jane, he recorded a ninety-minute special where he performs mentalism for the cast.
My review:
If you like series that approach the plot cautiously and with patience, this is a good option, the plot is quite understandable, it could well be a series to watch as a family.
this series is among my favorites among all the police series that I have seen, the crimes are solved with ingenuity, the action is somewhat realistic, the policemen do not shoot like crazy, they pull the trigger if it is of extreme necessity, topics such as confronting a loss and overcoming it, Patrick's character makes this series shine in an unparalleled way great work of interpretation by Simon Baker.
the characters are the best of the series, the main ones are special, such as Patrick and detective Teresa Lisbon (played by Robin Tunney) there is great chemistry on the part of those two, as the series progresses you will want to learn more from them.
The secondary characters also have their own sparkle, characters like Kimball Cho (played by Tim Kang), Wayne Rigsby (played by Owain Yeoman) and Grace Van Pelt (played by Amanda Righetti) are interesting enough and could well pass for main characters.
this series contains drama focusing more on this, action to make it more dynamic and comedy of good taste once again mostly given by the character of Patrick Jane.
The end...
the series has 151 episodes spread over 7 seasons.
and all of us who consume series know how annoying it is to watch so many seasons and have the ending ruined for us haha,
now the end of this series... there are those who think that the series had to end in its sixth season with Patrick's confrontation with Red Jonh, but the producers gave us a seventh season, in my humble opinion the ending is perfect I greatly appreciated a season more with this beautiful character And they gave him a great Glow up, they showed us a renewed Patrick who finally got over his loss and about to start a new life.
spoiler alert
One of my favorite scenes is when Patrick drinks a hallucinogenic tea, and begins to hallucinate with his deceased daughter, it hit me very hard, this episode was quite emotional and I felt the pain of the character.
with much love Aliss
