The Mentalist is just a bigger budgeted broadcast version of "Psych" but with less snark. Both are still fun shows.allegate said:Does anyone watch The Mentalist? They're very similar shows. So similar in fact that the 'dead person in coffin' trick from a few weeks ago was in last weeks Mentalist. Watching it I was thinking, "man, they just did this gag" but then I realized it was Castle who did it. Made me realize that except for the darkness inherent to The Mentalist, they are basically the same show.
I don't like how they've backed down from Castle helping out according with research he's done for past books, or having a contact on the inside somewhere; Now it's just like he's a police officer in training.
As for Castle being more like a cop in training, that has always kind of bugged me. At first it was fine, but now I always think "why would they let a civilian in on so many interrogations and cases? Wouldnt this actually harm their case in court in the end?"
But then I stop thinking that, because the show is just supposed to be silly fun.
