I liked it but I agree with the TV Addict’s assessment – fun to watch if you have an hour to kill on a Tuesday night but not must-see TV.

The supporting cast is quite good, I actually like Tunney’s exasperation at being stuck with Baker’s character and Yeoman and the rest do a fine job. That said, it’s just too damn predictable.

ADDICT, you MUST WATCH THE PILOT FOR 2 REASONS – (1) This week’s episode was, IMO, the weakest so far; and (2) You can’t fully appreciate Patrick Jane unless you know his backstory and for that you need to watch the pilot.

The pilot was abolutely brilliant. If you don’t like the show after that then OK, it’s not your cup of tea, BUT I IMPLORE YOU TO WATCH THE PILOT and come back and tell us what you think…….

I adore Simon Baker, who I watched religiously on The Guardian (along, I’m sure with solely over 90 year old viewers). Robin Tunney, however, and her perma-exasperation make me want to run screaming from the room. Unfortunately, after watching the pilot, the show wasn’t good enough to counteract the Tunney effect. I’ll stick with James Roday and Dule Hill for my psychic detective fix from now on.

I watch this for Simon Baker. This show appeals to me for the same reason Criminal Minds appeals. I like seeing the psychology of both shows. I want to watch a show that expresses why people do the things they do. The supporting cast is interesting and diverse and I think the group will develop as time goes on. Patrick Jane may be seen as narcissist but he actually likes people and can be likable. For the House comparison, I find House fun to watch however, he is unlikeable.
