Or maybe one of them IS the case, as we tackle The Mentalist, CBS’s late-aughts/early-teens “retired ‘psychic’ with an agenda” procedural. Today’s first-season episode sees a local cop giving exposition (Denise Dowse), Reed’s parents’ custody lawyer feigning ignorance (David Newsom), and Donna’s childhood priest rolling his eyes at the CBI team (Gregory Itzin). Should you bother with the episode? Should Dowse have played Itzin’s role on The Mentalist? We’ll discuss and let you know!
