I picked season 1 of
The Mentalist up from the local library a week or so back, having never seen it before. It's a cop show where the central character is a former fake psychic who now uses the observational skills he previously used as a con artist to help catch criminals following the murder of his wife and child at the hands of an elusive serial killer who is still at large. I actually really enjoyed it, watched the whole season in less than a fortnight and am hooked enough to have ordered season 2 from ebay. And it ran for 7 seasons! A lot to catch up!
