Blog 9: Movies & Series

I’m not a fan of movies or series at all, and the series I know are from my mother, who really likes police series, she sees the AXN channel the most part of the time, and the one I like the most out of these is The Mentalist. The director is Bruno Heller, a British screenwriter. The main character is Patrick Jane interpreted by Simon Baker.

The series follows Patrick Jane, an independent consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) based in Sacramento, California. Although not an officer of the law, he uses his skills from his former career as a successful, yet admittedly fraudulent, psychic medium to help a team of CBI agents solve murders. But, the real reason for Jane to get in law enforcement is for tracking the serial killer known as Red John, who was the responsible for the brutal murders of his wife and daughter. Despite that serious plot, the series is full of irreverent comedy from Jane, and that’s the reason why I like it, it’s a really funny series. I like it too, because I don’t need to see the whole series to enjoy one episode, and well, it’s a good time to spend with my mother.
