The Mentalist Season 3 - Review

*Disclaimer - I am no expert writer or critique, I am simply saying the things I see and feel during the programs I watch. Ifg you feel it's a lot of old crap then feel free to leave you comment :)

*************************************************************

I managed to finish this show at the end of last week. Have to say that I did enjoy it, but it was still a little too 'samey' for me throughout. I love Jane's character, but even he got a bit monotonous for me in places. I guess there are only so many 'tricks' he can pull off when investigating a homicide.

I think so far this is their worst season. I always enjoy the parts where the Red John case creeps in and it is still intruiging, but how much longer can it go on? The last episode is pretty enjoyable ***SPOILER ALERT*** -  Can that really be Red John? Maybe it's my imagination, but the voice, the actions, the mannerisms of the so-called villain, don't match what we have already learned about this phenomena.

Aside from the ending some of the episodes were pretty poor. The Walter Mashburn thing was awful, from begining to end, it almost looks as though he was thrown in there as a last minute idea, I really don't see why they found the need to take that route unless he plays a bigger part down the line. I guess it doesn't help that the actor makes about as realistic millionairre playboy as Victor Meldrew would have. Rubbish.

Also, the Hightower storyline wasn't believable, especially given the character they portrayed her as earlier in the show. Unless she has schizophrenia???

Anyways, I won't bore you to death. It's worth a watch, but don;t go out of your way to buy it.

Rating: 10/20

So was that really the enigma that is Red John....

I guess I'll find out when I get Season 4 :)
