Season 1 establishes the "low-tech" appeal of the series. While other crime shows of the era focused on forensic science, The Mentalist focuses on the human psyche.
The Mentalist is set in the fictional town of Sacramento, California, and follows the work of the CBI, a state-level law enforcement agency. The show's protagonist, Patrick Jane, is a charming and charismatic consultant who uses his skills to help the CBI solve complex cases. Jane's backstory is that he was once a psychic medium who was exposed as a fake, but he discovered that his skills of observation and persuasion could be used for good. the mentalist season 1 download
