Product Description
Product Description
The Mentalist: The Complete First Season (DVD) Golden Globe nominee Simon Baker stars as Patrick Jane, an independent consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation with a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes using only his razor sharp skills of observation. Notorious for his blatant lack of protocol and his semi-celebrity past as a psychic (whose paranormal abilities he now admits he feigned), Jane's role in cracking a series of tough high-profile cases is highly valued by his fellow agents. However, no-nonsense Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon alternates between reluctantly acknowledging Jane's usefulness and blasting him for his theatrics, narcissism and dangerous lack of boundaries. Lisbon's team includes agents Kimball Cho, Wayne Rigsby and rookie Grace Van Pelt, who all think Jane's a loose cannon but admire his charm and knack for clearing cases. Give your mind a workout with episodes from Season One of THE MENTALIST.

The Mentalist is nominally a police procedural (and an excellent one), but its characters are especially richly written, and there's romance and torment hinted at in equal measure throughout the series. All of this--and the star turn by dreamy Australian actor Simon Baker, whose smoldering good looks take a back seat to his nuanced acting--make The Mentalist one of TV's top drama series. Season 1 sets the action in motion immediately, as the viewer quickly learns the backstory: Baker's character, Patrick Jane, was once a questionable TV psychic (à la John Edwards) who professed to help people contact their deceased loved ones. But a crazed killer--"Red John"--was watching one day when Jane mentioned assisting California police on his case, and in retribution he committed a horrific crime with staggering personal repercussions on Jane. Jane leaves his sham life behind, but it turns out he's actually quite gifted as an observer of subtle human behavior--a "mentalist," who, he tells the California Bureau of Investigation, "is a master manipulator of thought and behavior." So Jane joins the CBI in tracking tricky cases, including that of Red John.
The rest of the cast is terrific, especially Robin Tunney, who may have found the role, and series, of a lifetime, as Teresa Lisbon, the head of the squad, who must keep Jane on track but give him enough lead to assist the often skeptical power structure. There's undeniable chemistry between Jane and Lisbon, yet any potential romance is superseded by a very real-feeling mutual respect and admiration, which shows its own kind of tenderness. Other stellar cast members include Tim Kang (the all-business Kimball Cho), Owain Yeoman (the ambitious rookie Wayne Rigsby), and Amanda Righetti (the doe-eyed newbie Grace Van Pelt, who may have a lot to learn in traditional police work, but who has a deep understanding of and respect for Jane's psychic abilities). Another star worth mentioning: The location shots all around California, which give the show a life and depth seldom seen on network series. The lush real settings--a mansion in San Francisco, a weedy rural road outside Bakersfield--add to the immediacy and intensity of the story lines.
The first season boxed set is a bounty and includes all 23 episodes, a fantastic featurette with the cast and creators on making the series, as well as a mini-doc on the difference (and there is one) between a mentalist and a psychic. Fans of the series won't want to miss the gag reel, either--the cast clearly has as much fun making the show as its fans do watching it. --A.T. Hurley

As before mentioned, the show essentially revolves around Jane, an ex-psychic/con artist, and the serial killer, Red John, who killed Jane's wife and daughter. In the first season, they give you just the right balance of revealing interactions between Jane and John while leaving out just enough to keep you wanting more! The script is well written and witty, and all of the characters are very distinct and likeable. It is also very refreshing to see a show where the main male and female protagonists aren't really "love interests". It's pretty obvious that Jane and the main CBI agent, Lisbon, have some chemistry, but it is by no means a main point in the story. It's just sort of there for intrigue and could even be chocked up to just Platonic love for each other. Still, there is that drama between another pair of agents, Rigsby and van Pelt, which is very satisfying and will entertain those who desire the drama in their show.
Overall, I'd say this show would satisfy just about any audience! It has drama, crime, comedy, love, serial killers, witty dialogue, intriguing characters, and overall well-written script. For how cheap it is on Amazon, I would say that you simply cannot lose by getting this season on DVD!

Una serie televisiva imperdibile per gli amanti del genere, io trovo che esalti ed affini l'intuito, che sia una serie che lascia la sua impronta, grazie ad una buona dose di ironia e suspense che il grande Patrick ci dona, e l'audio e la visione sono ottime.
Il cofanetto è composto da 6 dvd e non prendono molto posto. Peccato che la prima, sia l'unica serie in italiano.
Io sono molto entusiasta del mio acquisto ed una patita di questo genere, lo consiglio vivamente. Grazie
