    Mjeteconer Just perfect...
    Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
    AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
    Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
    rohens I've just watched both seasons and I am disappointed that it was only two seasons. The acting was superb, the characters were very believable... Its a really good show. But some stories have a natural end..
    jb0579 Awesome concept, decent cast, mediocre plot lines, poor execution. The Catch does what so many shows fall pray to in being TOO cute - they weave way too much into the tapestry until it's a jumbled mess. A con man hooks up with his mark, a co-partner in a private investigation firm, ends up falling in love with her, and has a hard time splitting from her. Here's where it gets messy: he's got a few co-partners, she's got a few P.I. co- workers, and pretty soon each side has one working for the opposing side, except when they aren't, in which case they are (unless they temporarily aren't in which case they are). The whole thing gets so convoluted one's mind tends to wander, except when it isn't in which case.... oh you get the picture. The Mentalist wasn't necessarily the small screen equal to Marathon Man or anything, but it's charm was it's simplicity - til the final seasons when they wrote half the cast out and moved them. Still, there are much, much more complicated shows on TV for your cerebral fare without being a jumbled mess. So should you? Only if you REALLY feel like concentrating on a show that isn't hard to understand, just hard to hold your focus as it gets sillier and messier, sillier and messier. Except when it's not but still is(n't). :-)
    archiecm I liked this show for about six or seven episodes. When Mireille Enos's character began to fall again for Krause's character after he had made such a fool of her I tried to hang in there. (Maybe he was going to listen to his heart and change sides). But he seemed to want to keep on with the bad guys. Then, when The female villain, Sonya Walger, masquerades as Mureille's therapist that did it. How could she wind up as a fake therapist when she was busy conning and robbing people every moment of her life? It was too far-fetched. (How would she even know Mureille was going to need a therapist???) To have to listen to Mireille's character tell Sonya's character all about her love of the very man Sonya loved . . . . I couldn't even try to sit through it.
    ahutcha-67817 We are loving this show. Finding it fun, clever and entertaining. It is enjoyable, much like the old Mission Impossible series was, but with a modern look and much more intrigue and play. Life is crazy, and it is nice to come home and disappear into the fantasy of a spunky intelligent thriller. It is also nice to have that story told without the extraneous and exploitive blood, guts and gore of other shows. The characters are fleshing out slowly, and cannot be taken at face value. Each week builds nicely on the previous one, which help to draw the watcher into the growing story. Mireille Enos is fun to watch, with her Monroeish eye-flutter affectations. She is mesmerizing, and nicely underplays the roll. In fact the show has strong and interesting female rolls with Sonya Walger playing the anti-hero steamily well. Yes, they are stereotyped, but aren't most fantasies? If we wanted to watch 'real life' we would just turn off the TV!
