The Mentalist–event and people both important!
The Mentalist dvd set was created by Bruno Heller who is also the executive producer. It is mainly aboutPatrick Jane, who, as a paid consultant, aids the California Bureau of Investigation in homicide investigations with unorthodox methods, with the hope of one day bringing the murderer of his wife and daughter to justice. Patrick Jane is a fantastic character, he’s sexy, smooth but at the same time is tormented by a dark secret of his own doing. The Mentalist seasons 1-3 dvd brings us back to the good old ‘detective’s hunch’ style of crime-busting. This show is a breathe of fresh air in a genre saturated with technical jargon and outlandish plot. Jane, for all his relaxed persona, is a man who cannot come to terms with his tragic past and is an insomniac with anti-social tendencies and a cynical view of the world around him. The show does distinguish itself from Psych with its new and unrelated material. It has a good blend of being neither too dark like Criminal Minds or too lightweight like Psych, shows which I also watch. It is a wonderful illustration of how paying attention to events, as well as to people, can be an extremely powerful tool, and how most people are actually totally absent-minded compared to what they could be. Hope this series have a lot of seasons more!
