The Mentalist (TV Series) Black Hearts (2014) User Reviews

Good Conclusion of the Trilogy

[claudio_carvalho · 8/10 · 30 January 2022]

Cho is investigating transplant clinics that might have used the organs of the girls and Patrick notes that their blood type is indicated on their feet. Ari and Ray Qasimi are stabbed to death in the prison and Wiley finds who owns the truck that was transporting the girls. Their prime suspect is Michael Ridley, but they have difficulties to find evidence to incriminate him. Meanwhile Pike presses Lisbon to go to Washington and she gives her final answer.

"Black Hearts" is an episode of "The Mentalist" that concludes the trilogy about human and organ traffickers. The sad part is Teresa Lisbon telling that she will go to Washington with agent Marcus Pike. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Black Hearts"

Consume and enjoy. Just make sure you shut your brain beforehand

The first seasons of Mentalist had some pretty good writing, especially the breadcrumbs regarding Red John. While the reveal and demise of the notorious serial killer might have bothered quite a great deal of fans, the decline in writing quality began somewhat earlier and continued to fall throughout season 6.

This episode reveals how attention to detail and internal consistency are thrown out the window to service a cool scene. Patrick staging a murder and tricking the antagonist in order for him to reveal his laptop's password is extremely far-fetched, in the sense that brute force passwords on computers is something any rookie FBI hacker can do with extreme ease. Van Pelt did such things several times even before attending the advanced course they came up with to get rid of her for some episodes.

Then there's the staged killing... Lisbon would never play along with that. It is so out of character that it breaks all immersion. And that the FBI allowed is just plain silly.

I know the scene was fun and all, but if you need to hack your characters' consistency and force such absurd contrivances to have a specific scene, you need to write better. This is far below the standard of the series and shows the lack of effort the production team had at this point.

Just consume it. Don't thing, don't ask questions, just consume.

Red John is still alive, everyone thinks hes dead, is wrong.

Red John is Marcus Pike, in a episode where jane finds out that the runner who threw the coffee on cho and flew to new Mexico called him and said that red john didn't knew where he was headed and that he thought he was safe, ended up jane finded him in a hotel room with a girl dead. If you notice something on the wall where it says "He is mar" what does that mean? I mean the death of RJ was really horrible, how could they make a sush a horrible death scene of rj? everyone have been waiting for rj to reavel him self and that happens? I think Bruno Heller is a smart guy and knows what hes doing to fool his watchers. I think that these last episodes will be about RJ and of course the love between Jane and Lisbon.

Couldn't bear to finish it, par the course for Season 6

My overall rating of "The mentalist"'s Season 6: 2/10.

I generally always end up writing huge wall-of-text reviews, but I just don't have the motivation to do so now, when it's late, I have work tomorrow morning, and the episode is so flawed in its story, choice of backdrops etc that a list of all my complaints would take half an hour to type out.

"The mentalist" has often been self-righteous and happy-end trigger-happy, but this season combines it with truly braindead writing and completely unfunny comedy to deliver something just utterly undeserving to be in the series that gave us "Devil's Cherry", let alone be called a similar name to a song by "Edge of Dawn".
