Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
gologreggie This show is so awesome, been up for almost 3 weeks watching this. It's just that Rigsby character i think is not really fit for the role. everyone will notice that its like he is the same in real life. just saying, no hatin.
grantss Patrick Jane is a crime consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation. He has a particular gift for astute observation and reading people, honed through years of being a faux psychic. His gift makes him brilliant at solving murders, which is why the CBI have him around. However, his motive for taking on the role is purely one of revenge: find and kill the man who killed his wife and daughter - Red John.Interesting, entertaining murder mystery drama. Not exactly original - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle / Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie / Hercule Poirot have done this all before. Plus, the episodes do get quite formulaic quite quickly: there is a pattern to them and the murderer is often easy to figure out, by pure elimination or even simply by having a recognisable guest star on the episode. However, it is not the murder mysteries that make the show so entertaining. There are some great ongoing side stories, e.g. Rigsby and Van Pelt, and some excellent banter (usually uttered by Cho, at Rigby's expense). There's also the Red John arc, which adds a much less predictable and far more intriguing level of mystery.On the downside, it did overstay its welcome. As with many successful shows, the producers didn't know when to quit and wanted to milk more money out of the show. The natural ending was when the Red John saga was resolved but they carried on. The FBI period was largely dull and unnecessary and the Jane-Lisbon development turned a wonderfully light and banter-filled relationship into something shmaltzy, overly dramatic and boring.Overall: good entertainment, but I could have done without the final 27 episodes.
joe-m-marshall Don't have much to say. I loved the characters and the acting. The show's been cancelled for a few years now and I feel a hole in my life where Patrick Jane was. Feels like I lost a friend, as I felt like he was a real person and someone I knew really well. Simon Baker did an amazing job and it didn't feel like he was acting. Jane remains my favourite fictional character of all time! Period. I've never watched a show twice before, but I think I'm about to...
Linhfareed I was in plane when I watched THE MENTALIST at the first time. Do I have to tell you it was my perfect time I spend in plane?. Anyway, I wrote the name of series in my notes to watch all episodes later. To be honest, the reason that made me want to watching this series is ROBIN TUNNEY. She stolen my heart ! Really she's the best actor and an incredible woman!. The character was she played is suitable perfectly with her. I love her role and character very much.When they chose Simon baker to take that role, they did the right. He was an amazing with this character. I should say, Robin Tunney & Simon baker were fabulous couple I ever seen. They All were fantastic together. Such a wonderful team! Robin Tunney, Simon Baker, Tim Kang, Owain Yeoman, Amanda Righetti. Well job guys! Before I forget, I wanna tell you that I watched all episodes just in 3 weeks !. I couldn't help myself it was the best and funniest show I ever seen.
