A detective who can mind read--well, not really. However, Detective Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) does posses acute observation skills--skills he honed as a mentalist--and uses them to solve cases for the California Bureau of Investigation.
I can really get into a good procedural. I enjoy the predictability of crime-process-solution but perhaps that is because I enjoy the often witty writing of the dialogues for these shows. Yes, it is a thing to think up the new odd combo of characters to play off each other, and frequently with odd personality quirks or even powers, but that too is a lot of fun. Enjoy!!! Personally, I would love to see a few of these come back.
