If ever there was a show that could evoke such strong emotions, this is it. The Mentalist. Best show ever.
Right from the 1st episode till the last scene, there was never a dull moment. The writing was perfect. The acting more so. Execution flawless. Simon Baker deserves every accolade for making us believe he was a real "not-a- psychic". His facial expressions, his charming and buoyant self, his acting were all fabulous. Every cast member since the beginning of the show has been amazing with their roles and I don't think there was ever any actor in the show that did not fit his/her role or that did not put in his/her best efforts. All of them deserve a standing ovation.
Its sad for us to watch the show come to an end but all great things always must. I think no other character will ever be able to match Patrick Jane in terms of sheer fun, wittiness and, well, a flair for the dramatic. His methods and deductions being insanely awesome all the while.
As for the ending, it was the best anyone could hope for. Like many others, I did miss those Red-John story- line episodes initially during season 6. But then I have never seen any show end its main story- line and still hold its own so well. Most of the shows simply trail off into non- existence once the primary perpetrator is caught or dead. However this show surprised me with the transformation it under went and that is definitely a big kudos to Bruno Heller there. Very hard to pull that off. Though it ended sooner than I would have liked it to, I still respect the decision to do so.
Most importantly, I will miss the smiling man who tricked his way into our hearts using his cons. But then, there's always repeat telecasts to stop that from happening. Cheers!
