Zee Cafe brings you this critically acclaimed series from start to the latest season. After showcasing two seasons, Zee Cafe brings in new season of The Mentalist – Season III which will be aired Mon-Fri at 9pm.
The Mentalist follows Patrick Jane, an independent consultant for a fictionalized version of the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) based in Sacramento, California. Although not an officer of the law of any sort, he uses skills from his former career as a successful, yet knowingly and admittedly fraudulent psychic medium to help a team of CBI agents solve various crimes. The ultimate goal of Patrick Jane and his cooperation with the CBI is to track down the killer known as ‘Red John’ who was responsible for the brutal murder of Patrick’s wife and daughter.
Patrick Jane formerly had a lucrative career as a con man, successfully posing as a psychic medium and enjoying near-celebrity status. He appeared on television to claim that his paranormal abilities helped the police profile a serial killer named Red John. Red John, angered by the perceived slight, murdered Jane’s wife and young daughter in revenge. Jane subsequently abandoned his job as a psychic and teamed up with the CBI, using his skills to help them solve various crimes. His main focus is on the cases involving Red John or Red John copycats. He admits to faking the supernatural aspects of his skills, often asserting that “there’s no such thing as psychics”, yet he has finely honed skills in cold reading, hypnotism, and pick pocketing, as well as powerful observational skill and a deep insight into the human psyche and behavior. These skills come in handy in every episode, but his unorthodox and bizarre techniques to solve crimes sometimes offend the team of agents he works with.
The Mentalist has claimed many accolades like in 2009 it bagged Favorite New TV Drama at the 35th People’s Choice Awards, Simon Baker was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series at the Emmy Awards, the show was also nominated for The International TV Dagger at the 2009 Crime Thriller Awards.
In 2010, Simon Baker was nominated for Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and in 16th Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series. The series was nominated for, Television Series Drama at the 67th Golden Globe Awards.
