The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a police investigation TV series that goes on TV2. It is created by Bruno Heller and directed by Chris Long and David Nutter.

The main characters are:

•  Simon Baker as Patrick Jane. He works as a criminal consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Someone known as Red John murdered Patrick’s wife, Angela and their daughter Charlotte. He mainly joined the CBI because he wanted to capture Red John and even kill him. Patrick Jane is very helpful because he can read people’s minds.

• Robin Tunney as Teresa Lisbon, the Senior Special Agent.  She is the leader of the Serious Crime Unit team of which Patrick is part of. She views Patrick as a valuable member of the team but Patrick often annoys her with his unusual behaviour and going behind her back.

• Tim Kang as Kimball Cho. Kimball is a special agent with the CBI and a member of the Serious Crime team.

• Owain Yeoman as Wayne Rigsby. Wayne is also a special agent who is a member of the Serious Crime team.

• Amanda Righetti as Grace Van Pelt is a special agent and she is a member of the Serious Crime team.

The Serious Crime team is responsible for the Red John case but they also solve other small cases.

I really like this TV show because you never know whats going to happen in every episode and it is really cool how Patrick Jane reads people's minds and finds things out. Also every episode is a good one.
