The Mentalist is an American crime procedural television series that ran from September 23, 2008, until February 18, 2015, on CBS. The series follows Simon Baker as Patrick Jane, an independent consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) based in Sacramento, California and later on for the FBI. He has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his amazing skills of observation. Jane also makes frequent use of his mentalist abilities and his semi-celebrity past as a psychic medium using paranormal abilities he now admits he feigned. He abandoned his pretense out of remorse when his attention-seeking behavior attracted the attention of a serial killer, Red John, who killed his wife and daughter. With the exception of "Pilot", the first episode, and up through "Red John", the eighth episode of season six, the titles of all episodes refer or allude to "red" (or some shade thereof) as a word, color, or concept. Titles of episodes after this episode refer to different colors (e.g. white, silver, violet, blue, grey, black).
During the course of the series, 151 episodes of The Mentalist aired over seven seasons.

With the exception of the pilot episode and season 2, episode 21, each Mentalist episode title incorporated various colors. Up to and including the sixth season's "Red John", the titles always included direct or indirect allusions to the color red, including various shades of red or items normally associated with red (e.g. blood, roses, fire). These "red" references served as a reminder of Red John, the mysterious figure responsible for the murder of Patrick Jane's wife and daughter. After the Red John storyline was resolved in "Red John," episode titles would allude to colors outside of red.

He is the protagonist of the series, son of fairgrounds. Before entering as an advisor to the CBI (California Bureau of Investigation), he worked as a psychic defrauding naïve, thanks to his exceptional skills of observation and verbosity. After appearing on a television show and mocking the serial killer Red John, saying that he is a poor soul and that he is going to catch him with his "powers", he decides to take revenge and takes the life of his wife and daughter in a brutal way, showing the world that Jane is only a fraud and a charlatan. After spending time in a psychiatric hospital, as a result of the trauma caused by being responsible for what happened to her family, Jane goes to the BIC with the mere intention of obtaining information about the Red John case, but joins the team as a consultant after helping them successfully solve a difficult case for the agency by using their "psychic" skills. in addition to relying on his other skills of hypnosis, sleight of hand and illusionism to solve crimes, working in the unit in charge of the agent Teresa Lisbon.
Although he is a bit eccentric, sarcastic and tactless, he is also perceptive and many of his theories help solve cases that the BIC investigates (even though his methods are unorthodox and often on the edge of the law). Jane is a complex character: Although most of the time she is cheerful, sociable, joking and quite childish, she has great pain inside her for having been the cause of the death of her family. He still wears his wedding ring and everything about Red John transforms him, becoming impulsive, dark and vindictive. It often helps the innocent people of the chapters.
In virtually every episode he can be seen wearing a three-piece suit without a tie. In all the chapters he is seen drinking tea or lying on a sofa of the BIC. He drives a Citroën DS model 1971, metallic gray color, very well preserved. After murdering Red John, Jane goes into exile outside the country to evade FBI persecution for his murder and find peace, without losing contact with Lisbon. He is then convinced by FBI agent Dennis Abbott to put his skills at the service of the federal agency in exchange for his freedom. Once at the FBI, he returns to work with Lisbon, at his request. In the season six finale, she admits her feelings to Lisbon before she leaves for Washington with Marcus Pike. In the last chapter, he and Lisbon get married and expect a baby.
She is a beautiful woman and a great leader, strong, brave, determined and willing to sacrifice for the mission, her team or innocent people involved. Although he is sentimental and vulnerable, he hides it. She is the head of the team where Jane is. At first he is bothered by Jane's strange behavior and always has to intercede for him when he gets into trouble. However, they work well together and although she does not admit it, Teresa sees Patrick as a valuable member of the team and in some cases supports his more unusual theories; she is very attached to the rules and always tries to maintain a rough attitude to demonstrate her authority, but she is actually a person concerned about her team and with a sense of humor (otherwise she would not stand Patrick). As she says in the episode "Red Tide" she had a difficult childhood: Her mother was killed by a drunk driver and her father gave himself to alcohol by not enduring her loss, so since she was a child she had to assume the role of "mother" of her three younger brothers. Later, it is revealed that she has a more distant relationship with her siblings due to her leaving Chicago to become an agent.
At the end of the third season, Lisbon, along with Jane and the team, put together a plan to try to catch John the Red and the BIC mole, as a result, she was shot by Van Pelt's fiancé and was suspended for the start of the fourth season. In the second episode of season 4, Jane, with the help of Cho, Van Pelt and Rigsby, tricks her new boss Ray Haffner, while they solve a case to return Lisbon's job. Despite Jane's departure in the season finale, she and the team continue to work, albeit resolving fewer cases. In season 5, everything returns to normal, but Lisbon sees Lorelei's recurrence as a threat, generating a rift between her and Jane. After Lorelei's murder, his relationship with Jane returns to normal, and he entrusts her with Red John's list of seven suspects. At the start of Season 6, she and the team work hard to catch Red John. After the FBI closes the BIC for the events with the boss, Gale Bertram, when he is discovered as Red John's henchman, in addition to the murder of the serial killer and Jane's escape, she moves to Washington, where she works as a police chief. At this time, he still maintains contact with his former BIC colleagues Rigsby and Van Pelt, also with Jane although only by letters that he writes to him in his exile. He then gets a job as an FBI agent, at Patrick Jane's request to work with the federal agency, and subsequently starts a relationship with another FBI agent, Marcus Pike, who proposes to move to Washington together. In the final episode of the sixth season, he accepts Jane's proposal to stay with him in Texas and they begin a relationship. During season 7, Lisbon, Jane and Cho work as teammates in Abbott's unit, alongside rookies Wylie and Vega. In the end, she and Jane marry and she tells him that she is expecting a child from him.
He is a member of the BIC in charge of Lisbon. It is one of the best in terms of interrogations because of its impassive and pragmatic character. He is serious almost all the time (although he does not lack a sense of humor) and says things bluntly, is bothered by stupidity and has only been seen smiling in the series two or three times. He was in the military and in a teenage reformatory, since he belonged to a youth gang called avon Park Playboys. He is often seen reading a book. He is second in command when Lisbon is gone. He is often Jane's accomplice in her plans to catch the killer, compared to Rigsby who tends more to follow the rules. In the fourth season, she has an affair with her informant, named Summer. He becomes good friends with Rigsby, often being his confidant regarding the relationship with Van Pelt. After the disappearance of the BIC he enters as an FBI agent, working with his former colleagues Jane and Lisbon. In the seventh season, he becomes a mentor to young agent Michelle Vega and after Abbott's departure, he becomes the head of the team.

On Rotten Tomatoes, Season 1 had an overall rating of 59% from 17 critics, and 76% from audiences, with the consensus saying, "The setting and episodic storytelling is far from original, but The Mentalist stands apart from other procedures, mainly because of the talented Simon Baker."11On Metacritic, the first season has a score of 65/100, indicating "generally favorable reviews."12Robert Bianco of USA Today felt that the pilot episode lacked originality, but praised Baker saying "The Mentalist The Mentalist may be a copy, but it is a well-made copy sparked by an actor who has entered as a television star."13Matthew Gilbert of The Boston Globe said "the CBS show has very little dramatic weight or distinction, but it's cunning and quick enough to commit you for an hour." Gilbert also praised the chemistry between Baker and Tunney, but criticized the crime cases, feeling predictable and sometimes uninteresting.14Mary McNamara of The Los Angeles Times praised Baker as "virtually irresistible" and said "... the psychological trick of the hand can not fill an hour every week. For that you need complicated, interesting and complicated crimes, interesting characters solve them. The Mentalist seems poised to deliver just that."15
The pilot episode had an audience of 15.6 million viewers on its first broadcast, and 7.8 million on a rebroadcast three days later.16On December 2, 2008, the episode, "Flame Red", was the highest-rated television show of the week, marking the first time a show in its first season had achieved that distinction since Desperate Housewives four years ago.17
