The Mentalist - Season 1 ((exclusive)) -

The hook is irresistible. (Simon Baker) is a former "psychic" medium who made a lucrative career out of cold reading and theatrical manipulation. After a personal tragedy—the murder of his wife and daughter by a serial killer named Red John —Jane renounces his fraudulent past and joins the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as an independent consultant.

The genius of Season 1’s Red John arc is its restraint. Unlike modern shows that reveal the big bad too soon, The Mentalist keeps the mystery tight, making every shadow a potential threat. the mentalist - season 1
