The Mentalist, Highly Recommended

The show, The Mentalist, is not your average cop show. It is funny, whitty, and totally original. The main character, Patrick Jane, is a Mentalist. A mentalist is an expert on human behavior, uses hypnosis, is incedibly smart and in Jane's case, he works along side the CBI. Jane's main focus in the show is to capture and [he claims he will] kill Red John, the heartless serial killer that killed Jane's wife and only child; however, due to lack of information on where Red John is located, Jane and other CBI angents deal with many other different types of cases. Jane has his own independent personality and works in an oddly effective way. At times he may seem rude and a little straightforward, catching people off guard, but that is just another reason that makes this show so unique and entertaining to watch. Jane seems to always be one step a head of eveyone else and always takes people by suprise. The show is fun, fast paced, clever and addicting [for me anyways] and will always keep you guessing with a smile on your face. :]
