    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Psych' is acclaimed for its unique mix of comedy, crime, and drama, highlighting its clever writing and memorable one-liners. The exceptional chemistry between Shawn and Gus, along with the dynamic with detectives Lassiter and O'Hara, adds comedic and dramatic tension. The show balances humor with engaging mysteries, though some feel it lost charm in later seasons. Despite this, it remains a standout for its entertaining, light-hearted take on the detective genre.

    Thumbs up!

    I thought this was a pretty good pilot. I was laughing pretty consistently throughout. I also enjoyed his observational skills and the way the special effects team highlighted them. The buddy relationship between Shawn and Gus was fun and I liked the dramatic tension between Shawn and his Dad, especially considering dad's feelings on psychics and private investigators. The supporting cast at the police station was adequate with the chief really shining compared to the two detectives having an affair.

    I also liked how they used Gus' very focused vocation-based observation skills to give Shawn a hand at solving the crime at the end. The whole conversation about Shawn needing Gus to take notes because Shawn zones out really rang true for me, plus Shawn occasionally needs the 'everyman view' for something he hadn't considered.

    I give this a thumbs up. It's one of the few summer shows I've picked up and so far, it is clearly the winner.

    Clever and absolute fun to watch!

    The first episode was a delight and so much fun to watch. They have managed to pick a fantastic buddy team that has perfect timing. Plenty of hearty laughs with this one.

    It's unusual for a pilot to have well developed characters, but Psych does dispose of this stereotype.

    The series does give us (the audience) a chance to think for ourselves and allows us to figure out "who dun it?" before Sean does. There are even little kinks here and there to throw us off. I like that.

    I can't wait to see more episodes, and I'm setting up a season pass on the DVR.

    Good job USA!

    Such a fun show

    Psych is one of my favorite shows from this genre that I've ever seen. It's one of those shows where you can watch it as many times as you want and it's just as fun as the first time you watched it. I've seen every episode a few times over the years and still have fun watching them. James Roday Rodriguez and Dule Hill have such great chemistry together as Shawn and Gus you can't help but root for them. The show centers around Shawn and his great powers of observation because his dad was a police officer and taught Shawn to be that way growing up. He can see the smallest details and uses that to convince the police that he's a psychic so they hire him and his best friend Gus to be consultants. What follows is one of the funnest shows you ever see. I can't recommend this show enough.

    Ahhh!

    Could be on my top two favorite TV shows ever made! Seriously, it combines comedy with mystery sooo beautifully, it's just makes me so happy!

    Love This Show!

    There have been plenty psychic and detective shows over the years but Psych is absolutely one of the best of them. It's just a flat out fun show! Shawn (James Roday Rodriguez) and Gus (Dule Hill) have such great chemistry that keeps the show fresh every episode and the supporting cast are all perfect! As great as the cast is the writing is just as good. It's a smart and quick witted written show. Even though I loved every episode of every season I have to say that the first season is the weakest and the show really hits its stride in season two. There are so many laugh out loud moments and a good murder mystery every episode. By reading through most of these reviews it looks like most people agree that they had a good time watching this show and really like it!

    • Quotes

      Shawn Spencer: Good morning, detectives! Collecting donations for the Policeman's Ball?

      Carlton Lassiter: We don't have balls.

      Shawn Spencer: I honestly have no response for that.

      Carlton Lassiter: Need I remind you, Mr. Spencer, what happens when you interfere with a police investigation?

      Shawn Spencer: Uhhh... The case gets solved?

    • Crazy credits
      Each time a guest performer sings the theme song, they sing the entire song as opposed the shorter version in normal episodes.
    • Alternate versions
      As of 2018, unlike the ION channel reruns which left the episodes uncut, the Hallmark Channel censors some of the language and suggestive humor despite it being mild.
