The Mentalist — Season 2
Patrick Jane, a brilliant but unconventional consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation, doesn’t do things by the book—and he wouldn't have it any other way. Armed with an uncanny ability to spot what others overlook, this former "psychic" cracks the most perplexing cases, all while operating on his own wavelength.
