The Mentalist: Pilot (2008)
Episode 1, Season 1
A fantastic opening
28 August 2023 - 2 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
This is perhaps one of the best pilots for a tv series, a truly original and imaginative premise, a bewitching and charming protagonist and a supporting cast of characters who even with a limited amount of screen time int the opening episode make it clear that they are not cookie-cutter, stereotypical characters made solely to support the main focus.
The dialogue is engaging and witty, and the overall undertone of playfulness and fun, whilst dealing with rather heavy subject matter is done perfectly and is a perfect reflection of the main character and their approach to the tragic events they have encountered and do encounter through the course of the episode. A truly wonderful opening effort for a tv series.
