The Mentalist
The entire series is available to stream for free on Amazon Prime, for those who may have missed the original broadcasts.
Simon Baker is quite a clever and charming character as Patrick Jane, and there's great chemistry between him and Robin Tunney.
Any other fans out there?

On a side note, Simon Baker sounds like a regular American in his role, but in interviews he sounds like Crocodile Dundee.
It's interesting that there's absolutely no hint of an Australian accent when he talks in the series.

It reminded me of the serial killer in "The Profiler."
