Devastated, Patrick admits his paranormal act is fake, renounces his earlier life and uses his astonishing skills of observation and analysis to help the California Bureau of Investigation. These talents make him appear psychically gifted and help him bring killers to justice. At crime scenes across California, Patrick now helps an elite team of detectives break their toughest cases.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A well done show submitted by tbbrown76 on August 25, 2018, 8:04pm Good intrigue, suspense and characters. De-bunking at its best. Recommended.

Fun show submitted by AGAPHD on June 19, 2020, 9:19am This is a fun show. Patrick Jane is charming and it's fun to watch the rest of the cast bounce off him as they work together to solve crimes.

Really enjoyable show submitted by Magicicada on August 21, 2022, 11:57am The plots are good. The show has some very dark moments, but also some delightful lightheartedness to keep it from being too much of a downer.
