User Reviews

Just a Brilliant Episode

In my opinion this TV show is growing intellectually such as emotionally and this Red John story is getting really interesting. This episode shows that "The Mentalist" isn't losing his charisma and it is able to improve. I love watching this TV show because for me it's just different from the others and I expect that continues to improve and succeeding this way. It is more than a masterpiece and Bruno Heller really created something extraordinary. All the actors just perform amazingly, but of course we must give more credit to Simon Baker he is the true star of the show, so keep up with the good work. Love this TV show, so I hope it continues for many years to come.

10/10
