>killer confesses even when there is zero physical evidence against them and it's all circumstantial at bestHow is he so good?
No way you big spastic HE'S A MENTALIST
>>222519704It's because he's Australian. We can spot a bullshitter because it's our forte.
>>222519704Why are people always so baffled whenever a work of fiction has a character who acts in a way that isn’t perfectly rational?
>>222519704Did a bunch of retards just discover this cableslop or something?
>>222521646Develop vocabulary. The Mentalist was a broadcast network show. I know you stupid shitlennials don't conceive of broadcast TV outside of the cable box because you were spoiled shitters and your parents were morons, but to be accurate to your stupid parrot-laden term "cableslop," would be shows from networks like USA of the time, like Monk, psych, and Burn Notice.
>>222519704John Le Rouge arc was ruined by the writers.I learned they did not know the killer and the identity changed depending the season.I wish a big show where writers know the killer from S1 and the reveal is S3.
>>222521443People do that in real life. Invoke your 5th amendment always.
>>222522778they had a killer in mind in season 1 but people figured it out. so the showrunner removed the whole thing and kept it unknown for the next four seasons
>>222522823Two words: role playing chatroom, dude.
>>222522778>I wish a big show where writers know the killer from S1 and the reveal is S3.Not quite a "killer", but Mr Robot does this. The show was originally written as a movie with all the twists etc already planned out before he made it into a TV show, so everything has really good proper payoff and foreshadowing, nothing feels phony or slapped together.
>>222522892Who was the killer meant to be?
>>222522996everything in mr robot is phony and slapped together
>>222522778It goes to show the difference between how TV shows were filmed to how it is now.Weekly, 20~ episodes per season, not everything filmed at once before release, directors reacting to people's theories in forums and even changing the writing halfway through the season.
>>222519704>How is he so good?It's mental, innit?
>>222519704Monk actually had an episode about this where Monk was like >Hey fatty, you did this and that and this and that and you're guilty and going to jail Then when the fatty was about to confess a nigga shows up like >Yo you fat retard, you're innocent. He's just assuming shit with no real proof And there's lines and here and there with these shows that sometimes they DO get away with the crime when they go to court or whatever or they get shorter sentences and whatnot but that's not the concern of the protagonist.
>>222523251Reminds me of that Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishment game. Long story short, you can accuse people of murder with little-to-no proof by just accusing them of shit like an asshole and the police just go "Well, I mean, Sherlock Holmes said you did it so you probably did it. Arrest the bastard and hang 'em."
>>222522823I'm convinced that police/detective shows in the English speaking world are a giant conspiracy psyop to convince people talking to cops is a good idea. >>222522662Worked on the show did you? Getting constantly BTFO about being derivative trash by Psych must have stung lmao
>>222519704He took the Hercule Poirot school of just annoying and harassing the shit out of every suspect until one cracks.Even Agatha Christie herself fucking hated the idea of that sort of character after she was done with her books.
>>222519704They get antsy because he lookmoggs them.
Season 3-4 cliffhanger Patrick gets arrested and doesn't ask immediately how Lisbon was doing, knowing that she was wounded. That was weird
>>222519704we will never get another soulful kino like this.
>>222519802Bullshitting is your forte?
>>222523492He proves lookmaxxers wrong by being 5'9 with negative canthal tilt and still very attractive.
>>222523872more like four tea
>>222524021>negative canthal tiltFucking hell chronically online people are retards. That's an attractive trait.
>>222523100it wasn't even concrete but the fbi head that use as the fake red john in s6 was supposed to be red john. just a rumor tho
>>222519704This was like a shitty, serious version of Psych.Easily the worst of these types of shows, Monk is still the best.
>>222524183It also came out like10 years after Monk.
>>222524183Elementary is by far the best and it’s not even close.
this mogs every other similar show just because the characters are so likeable but episodes get so far-fetched it's sadly not a 10/10 crimeslop
>>222524183It was the better version of Monk, I can't stand that little rat's face.
>>222523461Aren't there dozens of Poirot books though?
>>222519704He’s Columbo for retards, that’s it.
